NBA insider Marc Stein shared that the Kings are keeping Carter out of any discussions with the Nets. They really value him, especially after watching him shine in his NBA debut against the Grizzlies.
Carter had a solid game, grabbing five rebounds and dishing out two assists, helping the Kings snag their third straight win. Plus, it was a special moment with his dad, who’s an assistant coach for Memphis, watching from the sidelines.
While the Kings are interested in Johnson, who’s averaging nearly 20 points a game, they want to see what they have in Carter first. But time is ticking, as other teams are also eyeing Johnson ahead of the trade deadline on February 6.
Stein mentioned that Indiana and Memphis are also in the mix for Johnson, so the Kings need to act fast if they want to make a move. It’s still unclear if Johnson will end up in Sacramento, but it looks like Carter is a key part of the Kings’ future plans.
