The Sacramento Kings made a massive roster overhaul at the 2022 NBA Trade Deadline and most of the fanbase is praising Monte McNair and Wes Wilcox for a job well done. Domantas Sabonis, Donte DiVincenzo, Justin Holiday, Jeremy Lamb, Trey Lyles, and Josh Jackson have all been officially added to the roster and made their debut for the Sacramento Kings. I spent this episode breaking down what we've seen from those new players in the last two games played and I added a handful of clips from the players, front office, and coaching staff regarding the moves and how they affect the team moving forward.

The Sacramento Kings acquired Domantas Sabonis from the Indiana Pacers in exchange for Tyrese Haliburton. The full, shocking, trade that was completed between the two teams was Tyrese Haliburton, Buddy Hield, and Tristan Thompson for Domantas Sabonis, Jeremey Lamb, Justin Holiday, and a protected 2027 2nd round pick. Mark Schindler joins the show to talk about just how good of a player Sabonis is, the swap with Haliburton, what sorts of players the Kings are getting in Lamb and Holiday as well, and more.

We go through the Sacramento Kings level of NEED to make a change before this season at the jump, then dive into the specifics of Harrison Barnes, Buddy Hield, Marvin Bagley, and Richaun Holmes -- De"Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton are also mentioned, of course, but with a bit of a different tone than the others. James and I spend time talking about the value that those players have to Sacramento and to other teams around the NBA, the importance of utilizing draft picks, the idea of McNair possibly highlighting available cap space this offseason, the options beyond Ben Simmons and Domantas Sabonis (Jerami Grant, anyone?) and more!

Danny Marang, who covers the Portland Trail Blazers, joins the show as I continue to search for some additional perspective on the looming trade deadline. We talk about how the Sacramento Kings and Blazers have been heavily linked and made transactions in years passed and why they could very well do the same again before February 10th. Danny explains how Sacramento can avoid making the same mistakes with De'Aaron Fox and Tyrese Haliburton that Portland made with Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, what their trade deadline could look like, Robert Covington and Marvin Bagley being linked recently, the availability of many on the roster, Ben Simmons, Domantas Sabonis, and more.

I've heard a few people say that the Kings NEED to trade De'Aaron Fox this season and I really could not disagree more. I spend nearly 90 minutes explaining my thought process on why this is a bad time to move on from him. Fox has reached an All-Star despite all the ridiculous and constantly changing circumstances he's gone through since being drafted by the Sacramento Kings. Trading him right as he finally gets the best teammate of his career and someone else who can ease his offensive responsibility would be a risk. He's 24-years-old and it's hard to imagine his circumstances with the Kings getting worse than they have been. Also, you don't want to just end up in a similar situation with Haliburton where the Kings lack the talent around him to optimize him. One player does not win basketball games in the NBA, unless they are truly generational, and the Sacramento Kings FINALLY have two players with genuine All-Star potential.

Alvin Gentry did not hold back from expressing his extreme disappointment and frustration after the Sacramento Kings suffered from the same issues that keep appearing all season in the second half against Memphis. From audio clips where Gentry dives into his frustration, a repeated line of everyone needs to "look in the mirror" at themselves and responded to a question focused on changing the roster. I also included notable clips from Terence Davis and De'Aaron Fox who also expressed their frustrations in different ways and dissected what I understood from the conversations.

I gave my thoughts on those losses and shared a few of the notable postgame press conference audio clips from De'Aaron Fox and Alvin Gentry talking about Sacramento's issues throughout that stretch. In the second half of the episode, I spend time going through the handful of recent reports of potential trade candidates that have come out with the Dec. 15th deadline near.

The Sacramento Kings are now 5-3 since Alvin Gentry was promoted to interim head coach.

The Sacramento Kings recorded their first loss of the season that wasn't particularly close at any point in the second half. Going into San Antonio, the Kings were favored despite lacking Tyrese Haliburton, but they came out with lackluster effort and energy. Will Griffith of the Kings Herald joins the show for the first segment to talk about why it's too early to say "this is just like last year", even though it was admittedly horrible. We also dive into Fox's breakout performance, the half-court struggles on offense, our thoughts on Walton's early season, and Marvin Bagley refusing to play. For the second half of this episode, I brought on Bruno Passos (@bouncepassos), who covers the San Antonio Spurs, to give his perspective on the Spurs' best shooing night of the year as he drives home from the stadium. I pick his brain on how much of it was simply San Antonio making shots compared to the Kings failing on their end. He hilariously identifies a primary issue with Sacramento's offense after limited exposure to the team this season and gives his thoughts on the Spurs' play-in chances this season. Also, does he think the Spurs could have any interest in trading for Marvin Bagley? Thaddeus Young for Mavin Bagley + a 2nd?

The first game of the year is in the books where the Kings nearly blew an 18 point lead to the Portland Trail Blazers in a game where Damian Lillard did not make a single three.

The trade deadline happened fast, but there was not much action for the Sacramento Kings. They dumped Dewayne Dedmon's contract back to the Atlanta Hawks along with two second-rounders for Jabari Parker and Alex Len. We shared our thoughts on the deal.

It got worse, somehow.

Brenden had a conversation with Tim (SactownBabyGiraffe) of Sactown Royalty. Played a game where a stat from this season named and predicted higher/lower for next season, looked at the holes of the team, ideal free agent targets, ranked those targets, talked on the Kings young core compared to others such as Dallas, and more.
