7. Sacramento Kings

It has been 13 seasons since the Sacramento Kings last made it to the playoffs. Furthermore, it has been 16 seasons since they made it past the first round of the postseason. To top it all off, the city of Sacramento has never witnessed a basketball championship.

Of course, this massive title drought is enough to make any front office desperate for success. In the event that the Kings ever find themselves in position to make an offer for Kevin Durant, expect them to throw some valuable assets towards the Golden State Warriors.

The most realistic offer that the Kings could make is a combination of Marvin Bagley III, Ben McLemore and two first-round draft picks.

Bagley is a first-year player out of Duke University and is averaging 12.5 points and 6.3 rebounds in his 23.1 minutes of playing time a night. He shows great promise as an athletic power forward with the potential to become a consistent 3-point shooter.

As for McLemore, he had very high hopes coming into the league but has failed to meet any of his expectations. Perhaps a change of scenery is what he needs to motivate himself and get back on track.
