The move comes after much speculation that the Kings would be making a major trade before Thursday's deadline. Rumors have been swirling about teams being interested in De'Aaron Fox.
Sacramento is in the middle of another disappointing season where they fired head coach Luke Walton after a 6-11 start. The Kings sit at a record of 20-35, placing them 13th in the Western Conference.
