This season, the Sacramento Kings couldn’t find the same success they had two years ago.
Injuries, tough luck, and other rising teams stood in the way, and while they still have a solid roster and core that could help them compete for years to come, they must make some moves to build around them.
Most people talk about Harrison Barnes and Kevin Huerter and how they could flip them for other players, and rightfully so.
However, there’s another guy who reportedly wants to leave.
According to a report by Eurohoops (via ClutchPoints), veteran forward Sasha Vezenkov doesn’t want to be there anymore.

The former EuroLeague MVP had an up-and-down rookie campaign in the NBA, and he’s now reportedly looking to be released or traded.
A star on the rise in Europe, Vezenkov had signed a three-year, $20 million contract, which was guaranteed for the first two years.
He barely played last season, making 42 appearances and averaging 5.4 points and 2.3 rebounds per game.
Needless to say, plenty of teams should be interested in luring him back to the Old Continent, as he’s two years removed from being named the best player in the EuroLeague.
