Why should they have a clear idea though? They just had to deal with a star demanding to go and those always have to be a sort of wait and see thing. Success should be the guide in that scenario and so far... well, lol, one path forward seems to be more illuminated than the other so to speak. The good thing still is that Monte didn't just trot down one path when he was at the fork in the road in the trade. He got an all star level talent in return, some draft capital, didn't send anything of value out other than Fox, and didn't make any stupid moves that were short sighted in order to just maintain a play in spot. Every move he made was a discount why not type of move. For people thinking the Kings really bungled it with LaVines contract, the fact is the Kings regardless aren't likely going to be a legit cap team any time soon and even if they could so what? Rebuilding teams shouldn't be spending cap to begin with unless it's to hold onto their homegrown talent and you don't need space to do that anyway. This teams "rebuilds" have consistently be derailed with middling win now moves that push the developing talent out of position at times.
