When an NBA star requests a trade, it makes headlines. When that star is Kevin Durant, it makes waves.

That’s exactly what’s happening this summer. Everyone knows that Durant is vying for an exit from the Brooklyn Nets. Now, it’s just a matter of finding his next landing spot.

The Sacramento Kings aren’t exactly one of the most popular destinations. Realistically, they seldom are. This organization hasn’t made the postseason in 16 years.

Here’s a deal that allows them to find out.
