NBA Teams of Interest: Trade-Deadline Edition!

Each week, we're going to take a look at a few teams around The Association that we think deserve extra consideration.

We will not be giving picks; however, we believe this information can help the prudent bettor looking for that extra bit of information to help them make a more informed decision on upcoming games.

Rather than two or three longer features as we've been doing, this week we're going to break down Thursday's trades and give a gambling-focused outlook on the major players from Thursday.

Sacramento Kings

Players Gained: Drew Gooden, Andres Nocioni, Rashad McCants, Calvin Booth, Ike Diogu, and Sam Cassell (not likely to play)

Players Lost: Brad Miller, John Salmons, Sheldon Williams, Bobby Brown

The Kings secured their spot as one of the worst teams in the NBA with their trade deadline moves. From a gambling outlook, I actually think the public may underestimate how much worse Sacramento has become as a result of this trade.

Salmons was the best player involved in the deals and Brad Miller, who is a great all-around player when healthy, was probably the second best. Gooden will contribute when healthy (and who knows when that will be), while McCants and Nocioni are scorers but bring little else to the table.

Sacramento is building for the future and will be giving a lot of minutes to their younger players, so don't be afraid to lay the points against the Kings, even when the spread hits double digits. This team really is that bad.
