But, you know, here's

the thing with DeAndre Hunter.

And this is the problem, you know, the Kings have at this point.

And if you're Doug Christie, Scott Perry, this is something you've got to nip in the bud right now.

Because what winds up happening, and we saw it last year, if guys aren't sure of their roles...

If guys aren't believing in the coaching staff, if guys know that there is no hope, then they sort of just go through the motions, if you will.

Fortunately for Sacramento, you got some of these veterans, Zach, DeAndre Hunter, guys playing for a contract, playing for their next contract.

Does Doug make it through this season? How does that end up for him?

Yeah, yeah.

I, I recorded with Emrin last week, so that's coming up in a couple of weeks.

I'm releasing it every two weeks.

Uh, already got a, a sponsor.

Shout out Kiwanis Family House.

Also, my guy, uh, Sticks and Stones, he makes golf shirts.

He's signed on.

... still very much value your opinion on, on the team?

Yeah.

Then you bring in Zach.

And so we really don't know what Keegan, his ceiling is, to be honest, because we didn't develop him in the way that a lot of these young teams develop their stars, their young stars.

They let 'em make mistakes.

And so if we're talking about winning basketball games right now, no, you're not starting Nique Clifford, Kenny.

But if you're talking about maximizing his potential as a Sacramento King, you gotta let the dude rock and make the mistakes.

Do you, do you think that's, 'cause they have a, a perceived lack of shooting with LeBron there, and Giannis, and all this other stuff, do you look at them as a championship contender if they get LeBron James?

Well, the thing to me, I think about LeBron, and we saw it during his last stint as, in Miami, people want to play with him.

Yeah.

And so if we're talking about winning basketball games right now, no, you're not starting Nick Clifford, kid.

Who's been your guy? this summer league who's impressed

you ah that's a great question you know there's a couple kids on boston i like you know i mean when i look at the top four they've all looked good i think we all can see the flashes from the top four so you know i think mikhail mikhail brown has looked great uh At times, you know, I like him a lot.

Outside of that, though, fellas, you know, they all look like rookies.

You know, I've been watching the Celtics a lot lately.

They got a couple of, you know, Senat.

You know, he looks good as long as he's not shooting.

Like his shot seems to be a little short.

What did you think about the trade? Jalen Brown out to Philly.
