Unlike the past few years, the Kings have some depth on their roster and could benefit from making a trade. The biggest trade chips the Kings have seem to be Kenny Thomas (an expiring contract that could offer immediate cap relief for a team), Andres Nocioni (recognized around the league for his gritty play) and Kevin Martin (while there is no rush to deal, he does have significant value on the market). It would still benefit Sacramento to see how Martin fits in when fully healthy, but the need for a big man could trump that plan. Many Kings fans have seen enough and are calling for a Martin deal.

The excitement that surrounded the Kings earlier in the season is fading with every loss. With a 108-97 defeat at the hands of Atlanta, the Kings dropped their 12th game in the last 14. The Kings started well, racing to a 10-point lead in the first quarter. But the second half has become a problem for the team. Sacramento seemed to be a step slow to every loose ball, and Atlanta, paced by Jamal Crawford’s 20 points off the bench, cruised to victory.

It’s been a tale of two seasons in 2009 for the Sacramento Kings. The Kings record in 2009 was 23-58 (9-41 last season and 14-17 this season), a brutal 35 games below .500 due in large part to the disaster that was the 2008-2009 season. A trade brought instability to the roster and as a result, a heap of losses came with it. The summer marked the turnaround, and the start of the 2009-2010 season has brought excitement back to the team. Here are the top 5 Kings moments of 2009.
