The Sacramento Kings were in a much different position a month ago. Now, they are trying to capitalize on their recent hot stretch with a long-awaited trade.

The Kings are expected to be active on the trade market. Brooklyn Nets wing Cameron Johnson has emerged as their primary target, although other teams, like the Los Angeles Lakers, Indiana Pacers, Golden State Warriors, and Oklahoma City Thunder are all expected to be in the running for him.

Malik Monk was already having the best season of his career, but under Doug Christie, his play has really taken off.

The Sacramento Kings have long sought their place in the NBA spotlight. After ending a 16-year playoff drought last season, expectations in Northern California are higher than ever. Powered by the dynamic duo of De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis,
