Trading Nique Clifford is a prime example of everything wrong with the Kings

Writer Ian Goodwillie criticizes the Sacramento Kings for agreeing to trade young wing Nique Clifford to the Oklahoma City Thunder. According to the report, the Kings agreed to move Clifford in exchange for a pair of second-round draft picks.

Goodwillie argues that the move highlights Sacramento's ongoing failure to properly develop young talent under head coach Doug Christie. The writer contends that the Kings mishandled Clifford's development by miscasting him as a backup point guard before hastily trading him away.
