With the Sacramento Kings’ 2019-20 regular-season schedule now available to the public, what are three negatives to take away from it?

With the NBA season a couple of months away, the league finally released their regular-season schedule for the 2019-20 campaign. This means for the Sacramento Kings and their fans that they know who, when, and where they will be playing.

For the Kings, this is a big season for them. The team currently holds the longest playoff drought in the NBA with 13 years, but are looking to change that after coming off a promising season.

For Vlade Divac and company, the ultimate mission is to make the postseason this year. Anything short of that would be considered a failure.

During this summer, the Kings did all they can to construct a roster that would make them a playoff-caliber squad. And looking at their personnel, I would say they did a solid job.

So with the Kings having playoffs on their minds and a roster that has the potential to get the job done, how they would fare in the season schedule is significant. Unfortunately, I believe that the scheduling did not work for the Kings in their favor, whether it is from lack of respect or level of difficulty.

To me, there are a couple of negatives to take away from the Kings’ 2019-20 schedule. But let us analyze the top three that stand out the most.
