Thank you.
Not getting a pick sucks but committing to those three players in their late 20s with no more room to growth leaves us in cap hell and an 11th seed. That's a Vlade plan.
Getting Divencenzo is a signal to me that we're looking to get younger and not commit more to our failed rebuild. It's a move that Vlade would have never made and indicates a regime shift.
Move 1 and we're already off in a better direction than we've been in the past 5 years. A playoff spot isn't attainable right now, much less actually contending for a title in the West and committing to a core would only delay a rebuild 2 years down the line.
Kings fans are going to love Donte D from day 1. He's one of those guys who absolutely works his tail off and analytics show is primed as a breakout candidate. Plays both ends of the floor at a high level; multi-positional defender and honestly underrated as a secondary passer/playmaker. I could not be more excited, he's just a prime fit with Fox.
Can't sleep on DJ Wilson either with Giles on the way out. Never hurts to have a young, toolsy developmental big and getting him on board lessens the blow of losing our own young, toolsy developmental big.
