Will the Sacramento Kings Acquire Delon Wright this Trade Deadline?

With the Sacramento Kings standing among the group of legitimate teams vying for Success at this moment in time they also have the delicate responsibility of trying to improve their roster without narrowing their envisioned Championship window this February 8th could prove critical for Sacramento not just for this season but going forward there of

Course Remains the possibility that the front office goes for a bigger move Kyle kozma would fit that bill others would as well but as Jake fiser of Yahoo sports told Mark Stein this week the kings are not seriously tied to a long list of targets like say the Dallas

Mavericks are the deals that moved guys like ogan anobi and Pascal sakam obviously did not involve the Kings so the room for an acquisition seems more likely to be within the scope of a moderate to smaller move Hoops Hypes Michael Scotto reported that several teams including Sacramento are

Interested in a Wizards player not named kozma former King Delon right Scotto added that Washington can expect second round to draft capital and return for the 31-year-old R would be a veteran disruptor on the perimeter he’s averaging two deflections a game in about 15 minutes per appearance which equates to about 4.7

Deflections per 36 minutes what’s more laudable is the fact Wright commits a low amount of fouls considering his active hands so he’s a menace on that end without being prone to slowing down the game or giving the opponent freebies on offense the most critical stat to pay

Attention to is his 37.1% clip from three this season after the Kings traded for him in March of 2021 he shot 30 9.8% from Beyond The Arc in 27 games played in purple and black in addition to that he’s a good passer without being a turnover risk posting one of the best

Assist to turnover ratios in the league at 7.7 and just to be clear that means he’ll assist just short of eight shots for every turnover committed he’s a good player and surely Mike Brown would love to have him what about Davon Mitchell one may ask Mitchell has been a

Consistent member of the rotation for the last eight games he’s defended well as many would expect he’s been a lot better as an active off-ball offensive player and he’s looked more decisive when the ball is in his hands though it’s marginal it’s important to note that his points field goal percentage

And assist numbers are all up through the last few weeks the former ninth overall pick has perhaps made a solid case for himself to continue being a part of the king’s Corp going forward and one would probably think a 31 yearold wri wouldn’t usurp him in that

Respect but the Kings could also just be putting him in a position to make make a case to other teams after all Sacramento must have already considered all of Mitchell’s weaknesses first of all there’s his three-point shooting which was the one area that hasn’t looked much better in this8 game span he’s shooting

A miserable 25.4% from Deep this season and just 28.6% over the last eight three-point shooting is key for his role on this team because Mitchell isn’t pushing his way into a high volume of playmaking opportunities considering that damont sabonis dearen fox and Malik monk handled the majority of that in two

Mitchell’s individual defense is terrific but his size limits the team defense and ability to be a versatile group on a string by contrast this is why the kings are so excited about what Kesler Edwards and Keon Ellis will be able to do for them in a year or so

Edwards and Ellis are both projects 23 and 24 years old respectively how much is left of their development remains to be seen but there’s still room to grow especially for guys who haven’t been granted a rotational role upon entering the league Mitchell however carries less

Mystique what you see is what you get at least for now plus while Mitchell is in an exclusive field regarding the use of his chest and movement of his feet as a perimeter Defender he’s small sure he plays big but he’s small at just 6 feet tall and though his wingspan is roughly

4 in longer than that it’s not nearly as impressive as edwards’ 611 wingspan or Ellis at around 6’9 along with their length Sacramento also projects Edwards and Ellis to be able to provide some outside shooting as three and D weapon weapons one doesn’t have to have much experience in Talent

Evaluation to conclude that the shooting up side of Edwards and Ellis are both Superior to that of Mitchell’s who’s altered his shot a lot in his short career and really has to dip deep to generate power from his lower half but again Edwards and Ellis are a little

Ways off before they can make a consistent impact in the rotation though that may be true seeing Ellis take Mitchell’s job earlier this season and seeing how excited that made the organization it seems somewhat evident that Ellis is viewed as a future role playing guard specifically specifically

In a backup point guard War if Ellis will take another year or so then wouldn’t Delon Wright be an ideal bridge to build over that Gap Wright’s contract expires after this season which will make him an unrestricted free agent it may be a rental should the Kings get him

This week but that wouldn’t necessarily be the extent of it if hypothetically speaking Sacramento can get right in one trade in exchange for a second round pick or two and if they can also get something for Davon Mitchell that’s equal or better than that then the Kings

Will free themselves up of the 6 .4 million owed to Mitchell next season in that case Monte McNair in the front office can at least break even with draft Capital if not come out slightly ahead and locate a bridge that will lead you to your developmental projects which

Would all lend a lot to next year’s cap space if the Kings do make a moderate Siz move then it’s even more likely that the swing for the fences that many fans are anticipating will take place this upcoming off season if that’s indeed the case Financial flexibility the summer

Will be critical and it may not end up being a rental at all at 31 Wright isn’t washed up he’s got plenty more in the tank he also hails from California and is familiar with the organization he’s also a good figure to have around Keon Ellis envisioning the

Kind of player Ellis can be right is a good visual they stand around the same height and are both revered for their active hands like Ellis right enter the league with a wiy frame unlike Ellis he’s played the point guard position since high school at least so he can

Provide some insight as Ellis continues to adapt to that role so so if Wright sticks around into next season he’d be a mentor to Ellis that provides structure through his experience and of course that’d be on top of what Wright would bring to the floor on his own so anyway

One cuts it there could be something to the idea of Sacramento acquiring him it’s hard to say exactly how this would go if it’s to go at all but all things considered trading for Delon Wright could be a move that carries high levels of practicality and logic but just ends

Up getting drowned out by how subtle of a move it would be and honestly that sounds like a McNair type of move if there ever was One

Michael Scotto of HoopsHype listed the #Kings as a team interested in Washington’s Delon Wright. Is that the right move for Sacramento?
