Bolster The Wing Position
Going into the 2018-19 season, the Kings were desperate for any kind of production at the small forward spot. During the season, Vlade did a good job in improving it as he took the chance in trading for Harrison Barnes from the Dallas Mavericks. But with that said, the Kings still need to bolster the small forward position for next season.
Adding another 3-and-D guy for the Kings at small forward would be huge. Not only would it improve the Kings on both ends of the floor, but it would also add must needed versatility to the team’s personnel.
In today’s NBA, having a good and productive group of wing players is important. It would give a team a lot of room to create different lineups which is key in today’s NBA where positions do not necessarily matter.
Going into the offseason, especially free agency, there will be a lot of star-caliber wing players that will be available to sign. Some guys on the list are Kevin Durant, Jimmy Butler, and Tobias Harris.
Most likely, the Kings will not be able to sign those guys, even if Vlade does offer them the supermax contract. But with that said, they still can land a wing player to help their squad. Guys like Bojan Bogdanovic, Kelly Oubre, and Danny Green are all free agents as well and could definitely bring a spark to the Kings if they decide to sign with them.
