Sacramento Kings | Game Theory Offseason Preview

Sam Vecenie· Host0:00

[whistle blows] Hello, and welcome to the Game Theory Podcast off-season preview series, where Bryce Simon and I break down all 30 teams' forthcoming summers. And Bryce, today we are gonna dig into the Sacramento Kings. A fun conversation, sort of. I mean, look- [laughs] ... they're clearly transitioning from- Yeah ... one era where they went all in on a group of vets that they thought would go well after a really strong season where they almost won a playoff series against the Golden State Warriors, to moving into a new era, is the easiest way to phrase this. And with that, there will be bumps in the road, and we're gonna talk through some of those potential bumps and some of those things that they're gonna figure out. Uh, Bryce, this is already a quite expensive team that is, like, into the luxury tax as they are currently [laughs] slated for this season. So there's gonna be some movement here. Uh, in, in addition to the number seven overall pick, which is by far the most important part of their summer.

Yeah, I mean, this is a team, we've talked about some of these guys being traded for, you know, 12 months, 18 months. I think this is the off-season. I don't know if all three of Lavine, Sabonis, and DeRozan get moved, but all three's contracts have gotten to a point now where I think it's more feasible and possible. And I think the Kings have entered a place in terms of where they are at with their team, where, again, I don't know that you move all of them in one off-season,
