Hello and welcome to the game theory podcast,

all season preview series where Bryce Simon and I break down all 30 teams forthcoming

summers.

And Bryce, today we are going to dig into the Sacramento Kings.

A fun conversation, sort of.

I mean, look, they're clearly transitioning from 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 want 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 going to talk through some of those potential bumps and some of those things

that they're going to figure out.

Bryce, this is already a quite expensive team that is like into the luxury tax as they are

currently slated for this season.

So there's going to be some movement here 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 opposite.

I don't know if all three of Levine, Sabonis, and de Rosen 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
