Grizzlies, Kings and Wizards Dominate 2026 NBA Draft Grades

Several other teams (Hawks, Thunder, Suns, Clippers, etc.) posted strong B to B+ grades focused on value and fit, underscoring a long-term roster-building approach across the league.

Draft Lottery Shakeup Clouds Spurs’ Kings Pick Swap Value

Draft Lottery Shakeup Clouds Spurs’ Kings Pick Swap Value

A proposed NBA draft lottery reform would change how the Spurs' 2031 first-round pick swap with the Kings is valued, introducing more volatility if the Kings land 4–10 range but potentially offering upside if they struggle; the current top-pick chance of about 14% would shrink to roughly 8% for teams in the 4–10 bracket, making the swap riskier yet possibly more valuable five years from now.

NBA clears Kings of tanking allegations after late foul on Seth Curry vs. Warriors

The NBA found no evidence that Sacramento Kings coach Doug Christie intentionally attempted to tank by ordering a late foul on Seth Curry in a 110-105 loss to the Warriors; the move was intended to preserve a timeout and set up a next play, but the league concluded there was no intent to influence the outcome. The incident adds to the ongoing debate about tanking and comes as the NBA considers changes to its lottery system, though Sacramento has not appeared to be a tanking threat recently.

Kings’ Late-Game Tanking Backfires in Narrow Loss to Warriors

In a bid to boost its NBA draft lottery odds, Sacramento staged a conspicuous late-tank against Golden State, with Doug McDermott fouling Seth Curry and then misfiring down the stretch, letting the Warriors pull away 110-105 after the Kings briefly led. The loss preserves the Kings’ poor-record status and lottery chances, while fueling debate over how far teams will go to tank and how the league should respond amid a coveted 2026 draft class.

Kuminga Requests Trade as Warriors Seek Expiring-Contract Deals, Kings and Mavericks Top Interest

Golden State forward Jonathan Kuminga reportedly demanded a trade after becoming eligible ahead of the February trade deadline, with the Kings and Mavericks among the teams showing interest. The Warriors prefer to receive expiring contracts in any deal and have discussed potential three-team arrangements, while Kuminga’s role with Golden State has diminished this season, as he’s appeared in 18 of 44 games with about 11.8 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game on 43.1% shooting and 32.0% from deep.
