The Sacramento Kings are gearing up for the 2024 NBA season after a disappointing previous year. General manager Monte McNair has made significant changes, including acquiring six-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan to enhance the roster.
Despite improvements, the Kings still face challenges, particularly in defense. Analysts suggest that Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart could be a key addition to strengthen this area, given his defensive accolades and experience.
Smart's skills as a perimeter defender and playmaker could complement the Kings' offensive strategy, although they also drafted Devin Carter, who may develop into a similar player. The Kings will kick off their season against the Minnesota Timberwolves on October 24th.
