The schedule for the Las Vegas Summer League is now available and the Sacramento Kings will play its first game on July 10. Two of the games will be on NBA TV and the other two games will be on ESPN:
- Thursday, July 10 – Orlando v. Sacramento – 4:30 PM, NBA TV
- Saturday, July 12 – Sacramento v. Chicago – 5:00 PM, NBA TV
- Monday, July 14 – Phoenix v. Sacramento – 7:00 PM, ESPNU
- Wednesday, July 16 – Sacramento v. Cleveland – 12:30 PM, ESPN2
If Sacramento advances it would obviously have more games.
The Kings draft selections Nique Clifford and Maxime Raynaud certainly will make Summer League a fun watch. The Kings, of course, have the Rangz in the Summer league – winning the title in 2014 and in 2021. Shout out to the Championship MVPs in those matchups – Ray McCallum Jr. and Louis King.
As a reminder, the Kings will not be participating in the California Classic.
Need Moar Rangz!!!
Would Domas to the Hawks make sense?
We have a trade history with them.
They seem to be all in on winning this season.
I read they have a $25 million trade exception. Not really sure they have anyone we’d want though. But I could see them at least being interested in Monk or DDR to give them a bucket getter when Trae is off the floor.
They’d have a tough time matching Domas’ 42 mil salary. They aren’t trading Trae, KP, Jalen Johnson or Dyson Daniels. Leaves, Okongwu at 15 mil and Risacher at 13 mil. Then they’re down to guys making less than 5 mil.
And we don’t have room to take back extra salary. We’ll be bumping the tax line once we sign a PG and do something about Keon.
All this new apron tax and limitations makes it tough, but I do think the Hawks are going to try and make another big move to nudge themselves into top 4 territory in the East.
Maybe – but a little crazy and makes a lot of sense, Domas to OKC. I want Cason Wallace and a pick and use Hartenstein as a salary filler. Domas is much better overall and has a little more perimeter ability. At times Hartemstein was hard to play in the playoffs because you don’t have to guard him outside 8 feet.
Sabonis is a better rebounder and passer for sure and has just enough range to respect the defense. Sabonis on OKC is a little scary.
After one year we dump Hartenstein for anything and get $27 mil plus off the books.
I doubt OKC would have any interest in Sabonis. I also think they’d rather have Hartenstein at his number with an expiring contract than Sabonis.
A r u kidding me. Sabonis on OKC would be a scary thought for the rest of the league. Chet, Sabonis, Williams, Dort, SGA is a dream lineup.
I doubt OKC feels that way. Sabonis doesn’t address their need for a bigger presence up front and would force them to play a completely different style of basketball, potentially taking the ball out of SGA and Williams’ hands. He doesn’t fit what they’re doing at all and he has a massive contract that would put them over the second apron sooner rather than later. So, no, I’m not kidding.
A trade like this has been something I’ve been hoping for…Domas to OKC for Hartenstein and either Wallace or Topic
I’d love a Domas to OKC trade, I just don’t see OKC being all that interested in Domas. But others on this site have made the case for OKC acquiring Domas as well. So who knows. Maybe it does make it sense.
if not sooner, management will certainly have to understand this roster’s currently constructed requires a major overhaul. With that in mind, I can’t see keeping Sabonis on the roster. He’s the one piece that has trade value. I’d even consider moving Murray because he’s going to demand a contract in excess of his value. You can’t have someone that is a fourth option on a championship contender get a max contract.
I don’t understand anybody thinking that OKC would want Sabonis. They wouldn’t. He doesn’t help improve their team at all and probably hurts what they are specifically trying to do. He’d be the 4th option on that team and if you’re acquiring Sabonis to be a 4th option on his huge contract and he doesn’t protect the paint at all… what would be the point? He’s a terrible fit for what they’re trying to do. Did people not just watch the finals? Lol what is going on?
I agree with you. But most King’s fans can’t extricate themselves from Domas Island even in the face of all the evidence and the sentiment of those who cover the NBa for a living and how they view Domas.
I’d venture so far as to say that with Domas’ contract factored in, majority of the league would have no interest in him in a trade.
For those who object, go back and watch the playoff series against the duds. His game just doesn’t translate to playoff bball and the O has to work around him, which is funny considering he’s never even won a playoff series in his career.
When does the Kings California Classic schedule drop?
Oh, wait …
In about a year. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Don’t sign up for the Cali Classic. GM drafts exciting prospects. Sigh.
And another thing:
The Vegas Summer League schedule was released today. This year, for the first time, VSL is starting on a Thursday, not a Friday.
On Day 1, Thursday, 10 July, there will be the very popular LA Lakers vs. Dallas (Cooper Flagg) Mavericks as the highlight game at 5PM in the main arena (Thomas & Mack). In the Cox Pavillion, at 4:30P will be your Sacramento Kings vs. Orlando Magic.
I plan on attending (I first went 2009 and have gone every year excepting the COVID Summer 2020) this outing as well. Do I go to the Sac game and stay… or head over to the Cooper Flagg intro game? (probably that).
The schedule
OT: Masai Ujiri fired by the Raptors. Time to dump Perry and offer that man whatever the fuck he wants.
No Way. I’m going to give Parry the shot he needs.
Too late for upgrades at GM and HC.
So many excellent options for both positions but vivek hired his yes men.
Is Masai a great option? What has he done in the last half decade to make anyone believe he build a competent roster? I can’t stand anything the Kings have done… ever… but Masai seems like he’s been coasting on the 2019 championship for a long time and the Raptors are a complete mess.
Toronto has gone backwards since that season. Lost OG, Siakam, and FVV. Drafted Scottoe Barnes, traded for RJ amd Quickley, and Ingram, only to be an irrelevant team in the East for years.
Yeah if the Kings were in the same spot as the Raptors right now, I’d be just about as pissed off at the front office as I am with the Kings situation right now. They have the same log jam of overpriced, mostly vets, that we do. Their guys are a little younger but it’s not all that different.
The log jam you talk about wasn’t Perrys fault.
No, it was Vivek’s fault and last time I checked he’s still there.
If not for landing KL that one year and for KL miraculously remaining healthy all year, Masai’s reign in TOR would be an abject failure.
I didn’t say Masai was a great option. But there are great options out there at both GM and HC.
But we have DC and Perry. Yay.
His yes man did pretty good so far. IMO Vivek will get involved but not as much as you think. Let’s give Perry a chance.
C’mon, Jack…you really think Lucy ain’t gonna pull that football away again?
I’m glad that some of the draft analysts liked who we picked but at the end of the day, all that matters is whether or not they become rotation players. I don’t think Perry has done anything yet. We’ll know how he did when the Kings start playing games next year. If the team still stinks then it won’t really matter. But hope springs eternal every offseason!
Hey all, been unplugged since day 1 of the draft and spent a lovely anniversary with the Mrs.
In case I’ve missed something somewhere, has there been any update on Keon’s contract situation? Kings have 48 hours to pick up or decline his TO. I see many other teams have been exercising or declining their TO across the league, but I’ve seen nothing on Keon.
Also, what the hell is up with Ace Bailey? First he wouldn’t workout with anyone and “fell” to the Jazz at #5 and now he wasn’t reported to Utah? Is this dude not right?
On the Bailey thing, sounds like he’s reporting on Sunday.
Looks pretty bad when the guy drafted after you is already in Utah making the rounds and doing pressers.
Eh, I don’t think it really matters. If he’s good nobody will care about any of this.
A player with this level of entitlement and lack of humility or commitment doesn’t bode well for his future prospects imo
Maybe but there have been guys just as entitled that have become superstars. It certainly isn’t what I would prefer from a player but I also think nobody will care if he’s really good.
Youre right nobody will care, but I think the commitment to excel no matter the circumstances is a core feature of great players. This start makes me think there’s a high probability he is not one of those.
Hope you had a good anniversary!
Nothing on Keon so far, as least that I have heard about.
As for Bailey, he declined a workout and interview with Utah, then said at the draft that he didn’t think Utah was interested in him..I think he has a screw or two loose. Probably one of the reasons he didn’t interview or workout with teams.
We did, Hobby, Thank you!
I’m picking up on the same vibes in regards to Bailey. IIRC, he was #2 on most boards up into the past few months. Something must have changed.
Yeah his attitude. He thought he could change things before even when he can’t. Welcome to the NBA.
Happy anniversary, Adam! Hope you had a good time!
I’ve been a little unplugged this week too because I just started a new job and have been busy until like night time. Been tiring and a little overwhelming, but getting through it! But that explains why I haven’t been able to be on TKH as much lately.
Thanks Klam! Celebrated a wonderful 21 years up in Nevada City. Good luck with the new job!
Congrats to you and your wife, Adamsite!
Nevada County is a wonderful place to live and raise a family or retire. Been here 60 years.
Hope you went to Off Broad Street. If you didn’t next time you gotta go. Best intertainment this side of New York. Lived here 60 years.
As mnuch as I like to have you around here, a job is more important. Good luck, Klam!
Naz Reid signed a 5/$125m deal. That gives me hope that Keegan will sign for less than that, and the Kings will be in a better cap situation.
Keegan isn’t going to, nor should he, do us any favors come contract time. The question we have to ask, is how much are we willing to pay a 4th or 5th option on a championship contender. The more I think about things, everybody should be moved and we should start from ground zero. I would imagine Sabonis and Keegan can bring us some nice draft capital and moving them would ensure us a lottery spot for the upcoming few years.
So here’s the rebuilding plan
Val to Denver for Peyton Watson. Need to get Watson extended. Also need salary filler.
Sabonis to OKC for Hartenstein, Wallace and a future first round pick
DDR to Miami for Jaquez and Rozier and 2026 second rounder
Zach Lavine to Milwaukee for D. lliard and Tyler Smith
Malik Monk to Orlando for Anthony Black and Gary Harris.,
Trade Murray somewhere for a salary filler and two firstround picks
Sign Alexander Walker and Kuminga
Roster
Lliard (contract buyout or Trade)
Rozier (possibly release), Carter, Anthony Black
Wallace, Nique, Ellis, Gary Harris (release)
Jaquez, Watson, Walker
Hartenstein (trade), Tyler Smith
Raynaud, Kuminga
starting lineup
Anthony Black
Cason Wallace,
Alexander Walker
Tyler Smith
Kuminga
Bench
Ellis
Watson
Nique
Raynaud
Carter
We have some young exciting players, a plethora of draft picks and some salary space. We also are assured the draft lottery for the next couple of years.
It’s not that Keegan will do the Kings a favor hy signing for less, it’s leverage for the Kings to sya that Naz got this amount, he was 6th man of the year who put up better stats. The market has been set, so I think Keegan will get equal to or less than what Naz got.if he wants $30m/year, then the Kimgs probably need to ship him off sooner rather than later.
You better find out soon otherwise he walks for nothing. Naz is in a totally different situation so the comparison is not that straightforward
I understand the reasons for a a re-build, but a decent GM would not be so foolish to make them. Tyler Smith, Rozier, and Dame would be laughable reurtns. Way too much of a set back!
I truly beleive that most Kings fans agree that DDR and Monk need to be trade. Start there and then assess how much you want to spend on free agents.
That half way approach will NEVER work. You have to match salaries to make a trade, Rozier is a salary filler and the real piece is Jaquez. Tyler Smith is 6’ 11” and 20 years old. Dame you’re taking on to dump LaVine and picking up an asset for the exchange, None of those returns are,laughable you have to understand how traded work in the NBA.
Oh, I understand your approach and I see value in mine. It’s very clear how to rebuild and do it well, but some may beleive that there’s a middle ground. The word “Never” is not part of my vocabulary and should not be if you are trying to make money (owners) and trying to win (fans usually want this). If we can’t win with some good trades and saving some money for cap space, we still end up with a lottery pick or something sub-17 for years to come (it’s not like the Kings draft well anyway).
Perry has picked up some young players, showing that a 2-5 year plan could be on the horizon. Rebuidling in July of this year is a lot different than considering a “blow-up” in February of next year. The young players above are not that solid and thereturns on the trade are not want a wise GM would take. 2-5 years more of lottery picks for fans that want to see a winning team is going to such, especially when DDR, Monk, and even JV could land us some decent players that are hopefully younger than 30 years old. Examples of younger players are: Watson, Anthony Black, Wendell Carter, Keegan, Keon, Devin Carter, Vaquez (Miami), Hachimura (a little older), Ayton, etc. If we get these types of guys for Monk, DDR, and JV, then mission accomplished because we will solve the athleticism, defense, length, and 3pt shooting issues at some level and still be able to compete.
I agree with your approach a decent amount, but my appraoch is calculated, gets us younger, and saves us some money (not a ton, but enough).
I never use the word “never” either! I could be a Sith!
In fairness to you, Indiana followed something like your approach and almost won a championship. I do however think the Presti OKC model is more sustainable than the Indiana approach but you are correct a good GM did it your way.
I like your rebuild plan and trade ideas. It would be awesome. But the chances of something resembling even one of those transactions is the DDR trade.
Signing NAW and Kuminga would be awesome.
We would have a nice group of young talent as a starting point (DC, KE, Kuminga, NAW, the two draftees).
IMO some of your ideas are good and some way off.
I agree, If Naz is going for roughly $25M per year, Keegan should be had at $17-20M per year. That Naz contract may bode well for Keegan’s contract negotiations.
You will never get Murray to stay for $17 mil. NEVER
Hmm, not sure about that– it’s clear that his offense regressed. $15 mil is his actual value, $17-20 mil is his “we will mathc that” value, and $22-25 is an overpay. I think the Kings would have to highly consider all of these ranges because his defense is solid and the 3pt shooting is based around having a good passing team, other 3pt shooters around him, better defense and transition play, and moving him to the 3. We would be dumb to let another good draft pick go (I’m guessing you don’t propose letting him walk), so we start around $17-18 mil and see how far we need to go. Naz Reid is a lot better than Keean right now, so I don’t see him reaching $23-24 mil unless his agent is just outright subjective.
I think YOUR assessment of Murray is pretty accurate. IMO he’s going to the $22-25 mil you mentioned and even more. Now the question, assuming that’s the market what do you do. Maybe the prudent thing is to start shopping him and see what you can get and let someone else pay him $25 mil plus.
When you feel desperate you start making mistakes and overpaying players and it a perpetual loop of misery. Even though we are desperate don’t behave that way.
Agreed, he’s getting at least $20 mill a szn. Likely around $25 mill.
That’s a bummer, I was hoping we’d have a shot at Naz. Now maybe NAK is available?
Cavs traded Okoro for Lonzo, which says their confidence in re-signing Ty Jerome is low. He has been a decently popular choice on this site. He is more combo guard than PG, and rarely is healthy.
The four signees thus far;
#24 ‘Nique Clifford
#42 Maxime Raynaud
2WC: Dylan Cardwell
Exhibit 10: Isaac Noguès Gonzalez
I don’t believe the past GM duo would have drafted any of these guys.
All are either big, tall paint defenders (Raynaud, Cardwell) or considered tough on ball/off ball defenders (Clifford, Nogues)
About Nique Clifford: (Matt George on X.com)
Also on X:(Jill Adge)
and from the Si.com website: (Isaac Nogués played for the RipCity ReMix G-League (Portland) last season and made himself eligible for this season’s draft, where he went undrafted.
100 percent.
I’ll keep saying it, Monte would have taken another undersized guard. And as far as draft picks go, I don’t think Monte has the Vivek card to play on that, I think Monte’s picks were 100 per his.
With the grizz roster and their draft strat, they gotta be open to basically giving away Cole Anthony. I would MUCH rather take a shot on him over westbrook, schroder or any other old pg.
his per 36 are consistent and solid every year, a bit high on turnovers but that’s about it. Solid defensive numbers while with orlando. 13 mil team option next year if it doesn’t work out, only 25.
he fits in nicely with the huerter tpe so we could probably offer to just eat that salary with no return player but just offer a second round pick.
It doesn’t matter. We actually should be tanking so trying to eke out a few more wins is counterproductive. Player development is what should be the emphasis not winning just yet.
I like this trade:
Shams Charania reporting:
Gives the Cavs a high end backup/starter insurance if they lose Garland and/or Ty Jerome in FA. And injury insurance if they don’t/either way.
Bulls get young up and comer that fits their timeline/strategy.
Bedt of all (or worst, because I like Lonzo) the Kings won’t get another Chicago Bulls on the roster.
If they end up with Patrick Williams, I blame you!!!
Ha! I was looking forward to a Lonzo+Williams for Malik+JV trade to all but complete the Bulls West transition.
Happy for Davion. Wish he was still with the Kings.
A salary dump…
Thanks
Pete D VladeMonte!Onenof the stranger deals that trade with TOR to get out of that Euro player’s contract even though he was headed back to Europe anyways.
Monte regressed so much as a GM each passing year.
Pretty wild that the Nets selected five first round picks!
You don’t use that many picks in a single first round unless you believe you have the infrastructure to develop said picks. AKA that FO is all in on Jordi Fernandez.
Vivek and Monte had the stones to can MB for no reason mid season. Could have had the balls to do it sooner and promoted Jordi instead. I’m guessing if Monte did that he’d still be a GM instead of a low level consultant for the Ciips.
Since we’re all just trading our asses off, how about DeRozan for Duncan Robinson and Haywood Highsmith? Works on Fanspo. Two expiring contracts and two role players who know they’re role players. Good support for our core, when we get one. Gives us a season to see if Murray can break out.
We are just finishing up the second book in the Quantum Interstellar Sports League series that’s comes out from Penguin this October. Book 2 is about soccer. But one of the kids plays basketball. So I had the artist give a little nod to the Kings
How super SB!
Thanks for sharing this!
Kings deadline to make a decision in Keon Ellis June 29th. I hope they decline the option, making him an RFA, sobthey can match any offer he might get.
If they pick up the option, he becomes Unrestricted next offseason, and can choose where he wants to play.
I feel this will be a bellwether decision for this new front office. Declining his TO and then re-signing him keeps Keon long term but very likely eats up all remaining cap space under the tax, which means no free agents with the MLE (Schroder). Vivek is not going to spend into the tax.
On the other hand, picking up his TO on the cheap, and letting Keon hit FA next summer, allows the Kings to use that full MLE this summer (Schroder) under the tax. IMO, that’s a short sided decision to desperately fill a position of need at the expense of youth.
I prefer the former as opposed to the latter because in no way in hell do I want Schroder at the possible expense of Keon long term.
Pay Keon to keep Keon and figure out the PG situation later. I’m in the camp that I’d much prefer to trade for a middling stopgap PG (using DDR) than using cap space to sign a middling stopgap PG. Properly fix the roster as opposed to putting fingers in the dam.
I agree about keeping Keon.
Who are some of those mid-level PGs that they can trade for? Sexton, Elfrid Payton, Alvarado, Monte Morris, Marcus Sasser, Ayo Dosunmu? Those are some quick looks by me without digging too deeply.
Kings just picked up the TO on Isaac Jones (no brainer IMO), but have yet to announce anything on Keon. I really hope they don’t fuck this up.
It would sure be nice to get Keon locked up long term sooner rather than later.
Jaylin Williams (the other JWill on OKC) just signed 3 year $24M extension. At roughly $8M per year, Keon should at least double that.
I fear it’s really going to come down to a Keon extension or the use of the full MLE on a free agent PG. I expect full Kangz.
Could they sign a free agent PG AND re-sign Keon? That puts them over the cap and into the tax though, right?
They would have to send out contracts to a team with space (Nets) and likely attach some form of draft compensation?
Kings won’t be a tax paying team. Ownership won’t allow it, and the roster isn’t good enough for that anyway.
By my rough math, yes, they’d be into the tax. Now that they added the #24 salary and are likely to sign #42, a Keon extension, which should be well over $12M per year, prevents them from offering the full MLE, which would put them over the tax. Keep in mind, they still need a few more live bodies for a minimum 14 man roster. There is also the TD contract situation to deal with as well, but they have time to decide on that.
I suppose they could extend Keon and sign a PG to a much cheaper deal than what a guy like Schroder may demand, but I feel like the Kings don’t get discounts in free agency.
Oh Geez, you want to pay Keon $16mil a year? Jaylin Williams was big for OKC when Chet was out and he was part of a championship roster. His contract is the max for Keon.
I’d offer 3 years $20 mil with team option year 3. If he doesn’t take it look for trade suitors.
Remember I was the one who said don’t offer Holmes any more than 3 years $30mil with team option year 3.
King’s fans always overvalue their own players. I think the effect of the team sucking for two decades, save one season, has done something to the minds of most King’s fans.
Remember when Keegan was considered off limits in a trade by the fan base after the LTB szn?
Look at the putrid Fox return, but most King’s fans considered him to be a superstar.
Here I thought my estimate of $12M was pretty conservative. I mean, here’s some guy named John Hollinger who thinks Keon is worth more than the MLE but less then the max. He has him at around over $20M per year
If John Hollinger thinks he’s worth $20mil, he sounds like he got his experience in the Kings organization. Maybe he also supported the idiotic move the Pelicans just made moving up 10,spots to get Queen and giving up an unprotected first round pick in addition to the 23 pick who may end up being better than the guy they drafted.
Serious question, do you know who Hollinger is?
I do but I don’t care. I watch a lot of basketball, played a lot of basketball, coach many years, and are a big fan of the game. I go by the data and what my eyes tell me and I try to look at history and learn from it. So no, I like your post after this one but I don’t agree with what you want to pay him.
Btw, what in the hell are the Kings doing right now. Do they really believe they can be championship competitive with a few tweaks to the existing roster. If so, which I certainly don’t think so, then go pick up Chris Paul, make the trade I proposed to get Jaquez and Rozier, break the cap and sign Alexander Walker and have at it.
I laid out what I would do which they will ultimately have to do they just don’t seem to know it yet. So with that said, I’m dumping payroll, trading for young prospects and draft capital and focusing on player development. If I can clear enough payroll, I would take on a bad contract in exchange for more draft choices and/or a young prospect. I can’t be overpaying for sentimental players or players who are role players. If I do that, I can’t proceed with my plan which to me is the most prudent way to go. I like Keon and would like to keep him but only for the right price which is much below what you seem to be proposing although you’ve thrown out a variety of numbers.
Very well said. The players on your payroll have to be paid commensurate with their value relative to the rest of the league. If you start overpaying role players you won’t have the payroll to sign the major impact players.
They guy played in 2 games in the Finals and 2 games in the WCF, and all in garbage time. But, whatever, you’re right on all past decisions ever made by the Kings, as you often tell us time and time again. Funny thing is, you are nowhere in the Holmes season recap thread or the re-signing thread telling us all it was a bad decision.
It’s funny when volume posters like yourself agree with a bad decision or disagree with a good decision, they conveniently have selective amnesia or try to replay history in their own version. I don’t know where you stood on the Holmes signing but I clearly and loudly said a max of 3 years for 30 mil with a third year team option. Many were proposing outrageous compensation that he actually got and what you may be proposing (not totally clear) for Keon is irresponsible. It’s not that I don’t like him but I like him for the right price. Same with Murray. In Murray’s case his market value may be the highest it will ever be so if you can grab a big haul that includes some upper end draft capital then I’m for moving him.
Lastly, teams win championships with stars like the Joker or SGA, the way you get those stars is through the draft or through trades that get you young prospects. The more spins of the wheel you get in the draft or the more young unproven prospects you acquire the better your chances to grab a star like SGA.
if you keep throwing good money at marginal role players or supporting cast starters it makes it very difficult to get the star (s) you need to be championship competitive.
What do you define as good money? I’m suggesting something just above the MLE, and that is now just a shot in the dark. I propose it because there are currently aren’t many teams that are willing to offer more than the MLE. Next summer, however, the free agent class is loaded and many more teams will have space. My idea is to pay Keon now while you can without many bidders, rather than letting him hit UFA next summer when more team will have move money to pry him away. It’s just about asset management.
From all that, I’d imagine his agent is telling the Kings to pay Keon now, it what might seem like an overpay to some, but in reality he could make more money next summer if he continues to develop.
Players in his comp range like KCP or NAW are either currently making more or will be making more than the MLE. That’s is the range I see Keon in. I’d gladly take him at 3 years at $45M, which is less than 10% of a team’s cap.
Double? Why would he double okc jwill?
Jaylin Williams, not Jalen Williams. He was 12th in MPG on OKC and played in 47 games.
At this point I really don’t care too much who they get at PG because he’s very likely not a long term solution. Get someone who is serviceable, short term, and relatively inexpensive. Youth would be great (Black) but I don’t see that happening now.
I do wonder how many more years Leabron will go before he hangs it up. Gonna be hard to get used to not seeing him in the league when that day eventually comes.
LBJ – like him or not – had a very impressive season (All-NBA) as he has adapted his play style and remained fairly uninjured as well.
Steph, KD, Russ, Mike Conley, Al Horford, Brook Lopez, Nic Batum are all 36 or older.
DeMar DeRozan, Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler not far behind at 35.
These are players that all contribute heavily to their teams
You will manage. Nique Clifford will fill the void.
I’ll be happy when that era of players have retired (LBJ, KL, Beard, KD etc.), all me first players with the only exception from that era being Curry.
I see a lot more selflessness and team approach mentality from the new guard (Joker, SGA, Luka, JT, Hali, etc.)
