During the 2019 offseason, the Sacramento Kings signed Dewayne Dedmon to a three-year, $40 million contract. Dedmon had enjoyed a resurgent two-year spell with the Atlanta Hawks, although the 30-year-old has struggled for game time with the Kings.

Sacramento also face a difficult task to qualify for the 2020 playoffs in a competitive Western Conference, and Andy Bailey of Bleacher Report believes that Dedmon could join the Celtics ahead of the trade deadline:

Perhaps if the Kings continue to underperform expectations, Dedmon could be had for something built around Kanter (on a shorter and cheaper contract), Romeo Langford (a 2019 first-rounder) and one other piece for filler.

Over 16 appearances for the Kings, Dedmon has averaged 4.9 points and 4.1 rebounds in a near career-low 14.8 minutes per contest.
