Tue Dec 31 04:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Kings Explored Trades for Four NBA Stars Before Firing Coach Brown

**Sacramento, CA** – The Sacramento Kings’ front office actively pursued trades for four prominent NBA players before dismissing head coach Mike Brown, according to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne. Facing a disappointing 13-19 start to the season and a 14-20 record over their last 20 games, the Kings reportedly inquired about acquiring Zach LaVine (Chicago Bulls), Brandon Ingram (New Orleans Pelicans), Cam Thomas (Brooklyn Nets), and Kyle Kuzma (Washington Wizards).

Sources indicate the team explored both major and minor roster changes in an attempt to revitalize their performance. Coach Brown himself was reportedly consulted on potential moves to improve the team. The Kings’ offseason acquisition of DeMar DeRozan, alongside De’Aaron Fox and Domantas Sabonis, hasn’t yielded the expected results, leaving the team currently 12th in the Western Conference.

While the Kings’ interest in these stars is confirmed, it remains unclear whether they will renew their pursuit before the NBA trade deadline on February 6th. With Doug Christie now serving as interim coach, the pressure is on Sacramento to find a solution to their struggles. The addition of any of the four players mentioned would represent a significant attempt to salvage their season.
