Hello and welcome to the Game Theory podcast, offseason preview series.

a team in real transition following the departure of Deeran Fox and their general manager,

Monty McNair.

But Bryce,

Sacramento Kings, man, look,

it's hard.

They got dealt a bad hand with the Deeran Fox thing.

Deeran forced his way kind of to San Antonio

meaning that they didn't get the value for Deeran

that they maybe hoped that they could have gotten

had it been a bit more of an open marketplace

to try and trade for him right

they're also in a situation where, frankly, this is Chicago Bulls West right now.

And Zach Levine, DeMarter Rosen, we've seen this combination with a non-defensive European big man before.

It does not go well.
