Bleacher Report's Dan Favale recently gave his top three trade targets for the Kings: Milwaukee Bucks' 2031 first-round pick, Tari Eason, and Asa Newell.

After being limited to one goal again in Thursday’s 2-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, the Kings dropped to 29th in scoring.

Zach LaVine continued an ugly trend of unproductive games while finishing with just 2 points. DeMar DeRozan scored all 12 of his in the first half. The Kings, without Domantas Sabonis, were dominated on the glass by the NBA’s best rebounding team, 62-32, and were doomed in a third quarter that included allowing 15 fast-break points.

If we keep doing the right things … the puck’s going to start going in for us more,’ Adrian Kempe said after Tuesday’s loss, the Kings’ fifth in seven games.

It actually was pretty smooth — like a basketball player making a sneaky backdoor cut in the Princeton offense. But as Bedard said, any goal’s a good goal. And the Blackhawks’ 20-year-old superstar can’t stop scoring them.
