Kings Supermarket opens due to poor record, Sasha attracts crowds to compete for LaVine, no one wants him

Despite having stars such as Sabonis, LaVine, DeRozan, Westbrook, and Schroeder, the Kings' performance this season has been very poor. After 12 games, they only achieved 3 wins and 9 losses, ranking 13th in the Western Conference.

In the past 18 years, the Kings have only made it to the playoffs once. This team has never been able to achieve a real breakthrough. In the past few years, they only performed well in the 22-23 season. In that season, they ranked third in the Western Conference in the regular season, but were eventually eliminated by the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs.

The Kings' poor situation this season has forced them to make changes. According to the famous reporter Sam Amick, the Kings' two main players, Sabonis Jr. and LaVine, have been put on the trade shelf. However, the two people's trading situations are not the same. Sabonis Jr. has received the attention of some teams, while LaVine is not interested. This situation does not come as a big surprise. Although LaVine has good personal statistics and excellent scoring ability, he has never been a player who can help the team win. So far in his career, LaVine has only experienced one playoff experience and has not won any playoff games. Sabonis' tactical status with the Kings has significantly declined this season, which has caused his influence on the court to decline significantly. However, Sabonis is still a player who can be relied on on the offensive end. He is also one of the biggest keys to the Kings' last success.

There is no doubt that if the Kings' current poor record continues, then any player on the team may be traded. This team does not really have anything for sale.
