It's not always easy to figure out what the Sacramento Kings are doing. Their ownership and front office have made some puzzling moves in the past, and they once again have several rumors surrounding them as the offseason approaches. Here are the top five rumors involving the Sacramento Kings.

The Kings are reportedly interested in adding Kosta Koufos this summer. He has spent the past few seasons searching for minutes among the talented frontline of Memphis. He has shown flashes of his talent and would be a pretty good signing for Sacramento.

There have been a few hints of a possible reunion between Ty Lawson and George Karl. The Kings' no. 1 goal is to improve the point guard position, and Lawson would be a big upgrade. The tricky part will be figuring out what to part with in return for Lawson. They have a few nice perimeter pieces as well as the sixth overall pick that they can use to entice the Nuggets.

3. Omri Casspi's Free Agency

Omri Casspi had a very strong finish to the season. Now the Kings have to decide if that was fools gold or a sign of things to come. Both sides have shown interest in making it work but it will ultimately come down to the money. Casspi might be able to get a bigger contract elsewhere, at which point the Kings should let him walk.

2. Signing Goran Dragic

Goran Dragic is near the top of the Kings' wish list. They have been searching for a point guard for years and should be very aggressive this summer in looking for one. Dragic is leaning towards going back to Miami, so the Kings may have to work out a sign and trade type deal if they are going to get him.

You can't have a conversation about the Sacramento Kings without bringing up DeMarcus Cousins. The stories about his future with the team seem to change by the day. The Kings have stated that he is untouchable, but it's hard to believe that when he seems so unhappy there. This might be the best time to move him in terms of getting a lot back in return. It will be a decision that defines the franchise for years to come.

DeMarcus Cousins Puts Gordon Hayward On Skates With Crossover

Sure, the Utah Jazz ultimately went on to defeat the Sacramento Kings by a score of 108-99, but that doesn't mean we can't laugh at Gordon Hayward for getting crossed over by DeMarcus Cousins. Wing players simply can't let big men make them look athletically inferior, which is undoubtedly what happened on this play. Hayward didn't have a clue.

DeMarcus Cousins didn't do anything wrong on this play, per se, but he undoubtedly made sure to put some extra mustard on the toss. I mean, look at his face! Chris Paul handled it correctly by not turning it into a big thing, but he couldn't have been incredibly pleased.
