Kings Unexpectedly lost to a diminished Blazers squad in Portland…

On Thursday morning, Sam Amick of The Athletic appeared on “The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross” to discuss a variety of topics, including the Kings’ most recent defeat to Portland, the most recent trade rumors circulating in the NBA, and more.

De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis combined for 77 points on Tuesday, and they did everything in their power to help the Kings win. But a diminished Blazers team defeated the Kings in Portland. Amick cites this defeat as justification for the team’s need to be involved before the trade deadline in February.

“I’ve been saying for a while that this team needs to be fairly open to big moves at the trade deadline if they want to compete,” Amick stated. “You now know the kind of loss that I experienced. Furthermore, nothing can be forced to exist if it doesn’t. Therefore, it doesn’t imply that anything will occur for sure. But I felt that was a pretty bad sign in terms of this team’s ceiling.
