NBA Christmas: A gift for each team’s wish list in 2018

Sacramento Kings: Just avoid going full KANGZ

Being one game above .500 isn’t normally a monumental achievement 31 games into the season, but it sure feels like one for a Sacramento Kings franchise that hasn’t had reason for hope in over a decade.

De’Aaron Fox looks like a fringe All-Star, Bogdan Bogdanovic is healthy, Willie Cauley-Stein and Buddy Hield are showing signs of being franchise cornerstones and Dave Joerger has his team playing at a fun and frenetic pace that suits the youth on the roster.

Unfortunately, tensions between Joerger and the front office threaten to bring the whole thing crumbling down if the Kings go full KANGZ. The front office was right that Marvin Bagley III needed to play more, but please, Sacramento. Don’t ruin a good thing here.
