The Sacramento Kings are a top 3 NBA team that players don't want to be traded to, according to The Athletic's anonymous NBA player poll. The Kings finished third with 10.8% of the vote, behind the Washington Wizards and the Memphis Grizzlies. The poll asked players which franchise lands first on their no-trade list. The Kings' finish is not surprising, given their recent success on the court. The team has been a consistent playoff contender in recent years, and their young core of players has shown promise. The Kings' head coach, Mike Brown, has also been praised for his ability to get the most out of his players. The team's success on the court has made them a desirable destination for players, and it's no surprise that they finished third in the poll. The Washington Wizards, who finished first in the poll, have struggled on the court in recent years. The team has not won 50 games in a season or reached the Eastern Conference finals since 1978-79. Their 17-65 record as they tanked this season likely perpetuated the losing-franchise narrative. The Memphis Grizzlies, who finished second in the poll, have also struggled on the court. The team has not made the playoffs in several years, and their young core of players has shown promise but not yet delivered. The Kings' finish in the poll is a testament to their success on the court and their popularity among players. It's no surprise that they finished third, and it's likely that they will continue to be a desirable destination for players in the future.
