Dan Favale, NBA reporter for Bleacher Report, to discuss the Sacramento Kings’ looming offseason decisions.
When asked what he would do if he were in Scott Perry’s general manager position, Dan said, “I would tear it down.”
Trading De’Aaron Fox obviously plays into that idea, but he emphasizes the challenges that go from good to great, considering the bar that the youthful Oklahoma City Thunder is setting in the Western Conference.

Of course, they also dove into the current reality of where Sacramento is at.
It’s well known they don’t want to tear it down, as would be Dan’s own preference, they need to find a point guard.
Other topics discussed include:
Potential landing spots for Domantas Sabonis: San Antonio, Phoenix
What is DeMar DeRozan’s value? “I would be shocked if they got more than like a top-18 protected first-round pick at this point”
Could Miami pursue DeRozan?
Is Zach LaVine a longterm player for the Kings?

June has arrived, meaning that the start of NBA free agency is right around the corner.
