Yes, when the coach is a hold over from the previous GM regime, the pressure is on the coach to conform to the style of play the new GM wants, or he will find himself out of a job by seasons end.
The good news is that Walton coached in a very uptempo system in GSW and had great success. The reason he may have reverted back to a "slow down" offense last year may have been his desire to "teach" his half-court system to his new team, similar to what Joeger did his first two years. I think the process may have been sped up by having a new GM this year, but I fully expect this years Kings team to be a run and gun, very uptempo team in Walton's 2nd season.

At least two pieces - (1st round pick or a young player like Donte) + (1st round pick or a young player like Donte). Possibly add in a 2nd or swap for the 3rd piece.
Per Windhorst Bogi has been talking to Giannis and that was his destination. I'm almost certain if we leveraged this situation we could've gotten one of those picks that went to NOP. This is exactly the situation you need to be playing hardball in: you have a good player that a team's superstar with upcoming FA wants. This hugely inflates Bogi's value - they're not paying just for Bogi they're playing to keep Giannis happy and increasing the likelihood he stays by getting the guy he wants.
If we match that ATL offer sheet that situation may come along (Sixers would be next team most likely to be in that spot, possibly Clips but they're already stripped down). But that's really speculation because we did end up in that perfect spot with maximum leverage over the Bucks and didn't get the most out of it. But in any case 'the most' is getting one of those Milwaukee picks and maybe one of those swaps or a 2nd on top. Making this trade now was likely the best move but we definitely left something on the table.

The Bee is reporting (see under News) that the NBA has concluded their investigation and found wrongdoing by the Bucks, who will lose their 2nd round pick in 2022 for having improper contact with Bogdanovic before free agency began. They found no wrongdoing on the part of the Kings.
So there you have it. No blame to assign to Monte or the Kings front office for botching this sign and trade.
But it's a shame we don't have Donte DiVincenzo on our roster.

Is there anything wrong with the Kings and the Bucks discussing a framework of a sign and trade between themselves before hand, and then discussing with Bogi the possible contract parameters within such a framework, once free agency begins?
The issue to me is only that someone leaked to Woj that the deal was done, which obviously wasn’t and, legally, could not have been the case.

Either his agent wasn't talking to him, or he's full of crap. I'm OK with him not implicating anyone for potential tampering, but he doesn't need to feed the "kangz" narrative nationally in doing so.
