Kings are now 16-27 on the year with a current 5 game losing streak. They have 6 more games left on this long road trip - Detroit, Cleveland, Indiana, Charlotte, Philly, and Houston. Best case scenario is probably 2-4; worst case scenario is 0-6; and they're probably realistically going to go 1-5.
They're now 11th in the West - 2.5 games back from Denver (18-24), 1.5 games back from Portland (19-27), and .5 games back from New Orleans (17-27), all teams that are playing much better ball at the moment.
Compounding issues is the fact that Philly is only .5 games from them in the standings, meaning the pick swap is a real possibility.
Come on, Vivek and Vlade. that Brooklyn pick swap we have is looking really appetizing at the moment, isn't it?
