À propos de cet audio
We break down the Kings' draft (why Clifford feels day-one ready and why Maxime is the right swing), what Doug Christie's first losing streak could mean, and why we're firmly in the "don't tank" camp. We revisit the failed Kuminga bid as a leverage lesson, sort out the guard rotation (Schröder, Monk, Devon Carter), and set a realistic bar: ~.500 with a 33–43 win range. Plus, a frank look at what the Stockton scandal signals about the organization.
