Sacramento Kings 2035-2036 Preseason Presser

[NOLa.]

Good morning everyone! I have to make this quick as there's not much time left to the first sim. First of all I appreciate everyone coming here even though there's nothing exciting about the team currently. We'll start with the normal look-back at last season, what happened this offseason, and what our plans are moving forward.

Last season went about as expected. After the championship year I decided to blow it all to hell and start over from scratch. Most GMs say they'll do it but not quite at the scale we went. To be perfectly honest I don't remember much about the team I had last season. I know we had a couple of guys like Ronald Jordan and Mosher, but the rest I'm not sure about. We traded a good few of the guys that could help win us games for picks or points to start rebuilding the team. The 2nd half of the season was nasty after we sent all the guys we could find a new home away.

The offseason was pretty quiet. We were awarded the #1 pick in a weak draft so we selected Killian Hayes. Really like the look of this guy and think he will surprise everyone down the road when he develops. We see him as a Steph Curry type of player that won a championship with the Warriors. In UFA we grabbed a couple of interesting pieces that could help the team moving forward.

Training camp was okay. Mosher went blue apparently so that was cool. Hayes had a good TC but he is still very raw.

This season is going to be another rough one. Thank god I can't actually get fired. Any questions?

Mosher has been your project player for a couple seasons now. How excited are you to see him possibly take that leap? Do you plan on investing in him or is he a trade chip to dangle?

Killian Hayes, in addition to being a dynamite shooter, has no huge weaknesses with C's almost across the board in anything without an A potential. If you had the chance to bump something to an A for free, would you choose: Inside to make him an all-around scorer, Handling to make him an elite pure point guard, or Perimeter D to make him a 2-way force?

How happy were you to see the Clippers move on from Boban considering their draft pick situation?

You made a moderate splash in UFA with Josh Mitchell. What type of production are you expecting from him this season? Is he just a piece to be spun off eventually?

I like that he went blue potential and feel he could be a good piece to trade. He's a cheap 6th man that can be had and could develop into something more later. With Hayes on board I can no longer afford to pay for both so while Mosher looks good so far I hope to find him a home to someone that can resume building him up, possibly making him into a two way player.

Ronald Jordan put up some buckets in preseason. Is there hope for him yet?

It would definitely be his PRD I would bump to an A. He will already be a lights out shooter and with his size I can play him at SG to mitigate the C in handles for now, but he will always need to be better on defense. I actually just trained his INS to a B but I could have gone either way with INS or PRD to train first, but I value two-way players.

I was happy for the Clippers because they are making the right moves after winning a championship. They still have players like Sabo and BDJ to help them win now, a rising player in Sterner who can make the leap, and youth they traded for Boban. I don't expect any of the other teams picks I have to be lottery picks, they've all done a good job in building their teams and I just need assets to package for later.

Definitely a piece I hope to trade. I'm hoping his contract entices teams to take a look at him as he's on a potentially solid deal with a team option at the end. He's a lights out shooter and a good defender so hopefully someone sees the contract and falls in love with the guy.

The only hope I have is to accept his RFA rights and really mess with someone in S&T talks before I decline for the laugh. No one reads these answers except for maybe the GM who asked the question so hopefully in a couple of months time we can have a good laugh about this one on Skype.

Obviously we are technically still in it.
