While he struggled in Golden State, the 6-foot-1 point guard averaged 18.4 points and 5.5 assists per game as a starter with the Brooklyn Nets (23 games) and posted a career-best 0.100 Win Shares per 48 Minutes with Detroit.<\/p>\n<p>After trading De\u2019Aaron Fox in February, Sacramento attempted to make things work with Malik Monk and Markelle Fultz as its top point guards. With a new general manager in place, Monk is now available for trade as the club seeks a true point guard.<\/p>\n<p>With Detroit focused on other role players in NBA free agency, Sacramento might be the team most willing to offer Schr\u00f6der a starting spot next season. He was also on the Dallas Mavericks\u2019 radar, but they appear to be more focused on free-agent guard D\u2019Angelo Russell.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Read More:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/article\/pair-sacramento-kings-key-players-150000259.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Key Sacramento Kings players generating strong trade interest;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Key Sacramento Kings players generating strong trade interest<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Related Headlines<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Sacramento Kings have been linked in NBA rumors to a number of point guards this offseason.
