Once again, it's time for a rebuild for the Kings. At least it's coming off a period of semi-success this time around. No matter how they got here, the reality is that rebuilding is the way forward for Sacramento…assuming they'll commit to it. 在連續三個賽季進入季後賽後，國王再次跌回西區底部。對於國王來說，現在又是重新建 軍的時候了，至少這一次是在經歷了一段半成功的時期後到來的。無論他們是如何走到這 一步的，現實是重建才是國王的出路……假設他們願意這樣的話。 The Kings can't get caught in a series of quick-fix attempts. They've tried that before and it's never really worked. This time around, Sacramento needs to build sensibly. If that means letting veterans walk, while letting young players pile up losses, so be it. That's better than playing (and paying!) a bunch of veterans to…well…pile up losses.To start things off, this team is far too expensive for what they are results-wise. The Kings project to hit the summer dancing around the first apron. Being over the tax is too much for this group, never mind pushing past the first apron. Cleaning up the cap sheet has to be a primary goal of the offseason. 國王不能再陷入一系列「快速修補」的嘗試中。他們以前試過，但從未真正奏效。這一次 ，國王需要明智地建設。如果這意味著讓老將離隊，同時讓年輕球員累積敗仗，那就這樣 吧。這總比花大錢請一群老將來……嗯……累積敗仗要好。首先，就結果而言，這支球隊 的造價太過昂貴。國王預計在夏天會徘徊在第一層硬上限邊緣。對於這組陣容來說，連繳 奢侈稅都嫌多了，更不用說待在第一層，因此清薪資必須是休賽季的首要目標。 Zach LaVine is likely to opt in. LaVine won't get offers that approach the $48.9 million player option he holds for next season. The veteran shooting guard also isn't quite to the point where he should be focused on years over dollars either. Picking up that sizable option for next season, then seeing where things are at a year from now is the sensible path for LaVine. Unfortunately, that's not the best path for the Kings, but it is what it is. If nothing else, LaVine will provide some scoring as a sizable expiring contract that could be used in a trade. 拉文很可能會執行球員選項，他不會得到接近明年 $48.9M 球員選項的報價，這位老將得 分後衛也還沒到那種應該專注於合約年限而非金額的階段。執行明年那份巨額選項，然後 一年後再看情況，對拉文來說是明智的選擇。遺憾的是，這對國王來說並不是最好的狀況 ，但現實就是如此。至少拉文能提供一些得分火力，而且一份巨大的到期合約可以當薪資 包。 With DeMar DeRozan and the $25.7 million that he's owed, Sacramento has some measure of control. The Kings can waive DeRozan and would be on the hook for just $10 million. Doing so would bring Sacramento under the first apron, and within striking distance of getting out of the tax entirely. Given that the team should be rebuilding, and DeRozan has no place on a rebuilding team, waiving the veteran wing should be the way this goes. DeRozan's deal doesn't fully guarantee until January. That means Sacramento could also look to find a trade, which would remove the full salary from the books, without leaving behind the $10 million in dead money. But if a trade can't be found, then the Kings should waive the veteran and let him catch on with a contender. 至於 DDR 以及他的 $25.7M，國王有一定的控制權。國王裁掉 DDR 只需付 $10M，這樣做 球隊不只回到第一層之下，還能脫離奢侈稅的範圍。考慮到球隊應該重建，而 DDR 不再 未來藍圖內，裁掉他應該是可行的方案。他的合約要到一月才會轉為全額保障。這表示國 王也可以尋求交易，這將能擺脫整筆薪資且不留下 $10M 的死錢。但如果找不到交易對象 ，國王應該裁掉這位老將，讓他去一支爭冠球隊。 As for the rest of the roster, Scott Perry and the Sacramento front office should be working to find deals for Domantas Sabonis, Malik Monk, and De'Andre Hunter, in that order. Sabonis has been terrific for the Kings, but he makes over $94 million fully guaranteed through 2027-28. Sabonis isn't good enough to drag the Kings to playoffs by himself, nor is he a great plug-and-play five, because he's a center who doesn't protect the rim. The Kings don't need to give Sabonis away, but the main goal in moving him would be to get off his contract, not necessarily maximizing their return in a trade. 至於陣容的其他部分，Perry 和國王管理層應該努力尋找老沙、和尚和獵人的交易，順序 如前所述。老沙對國王來說一直很棒，但他的合約到 2027-28 球季為止有超過 $94M 的 全額保障。他無法單槍匹馬把國王拖進季後賽，也不是那種隨插即用的五號位，因為他是 一個不具護框能力的中鋒。國王不需要賤賣老沙，但送走他的主要目標應該是擺脫他的合 約，而不一定是追求最大的回報。 Monk's deal is more of a fair value for a bench scoring guard. If a playoff contender finds themselves short on second unit playmakers, they might have interest in picking up Monk. Again, Sacramento doesn't need to win the trade here. Just get off the contract while picking up something that could be helpful down the line. 和尚的合約對於一個板凳得分後衛來說更符合市場價值。如果爭冠球隊發現自己缺乏第二 陣容發動機，他們可能有興趣拿下和尚。同樣地，國王不需要贏得這場交易，只要能擺脫 合約，同時換回一些對未來有幫助的東西就夠了。 Hunter comes with more flexibility. Sacramento added him at the trade for reasons that are still unclear. He overlaps with Keegan Murray as far as positions go. Neither is a knockdown enough of a shooter that they can play together, and neither is a rim protector. That means this pairing as the starting forward duo alongside Sabonis won't work. The good news? Hunter only has one year left on his contract entering next season. That means moving him shouldn't be too difficult. Given Hunter's past as a productive rotation player on good teams, Sacramento shouldn't have to pay to get off his deal either. If the Kings can't move Hunter, they can keep him and let his deal have value as an expiring contract through the 2027 trade deadline. 獵人則有更多彈性。國王在交易中得到他的原因至今仍不明確，他在位置上與 KM 重疊。 兩人都不是那種準到足以一起上場的射手，且兩人都不是護框者。這表示這兩人與老沙組 成的先發組合是行不通的。好消息是明年是他的的合約年，這意味著送走他應該不會太難 。考慮到獵人過去在強隊中作為一名高效輪替球員的經歷，國王應該不貼錢或籤也能擺脫 他的合約。如果交易不成，他們也可以留著他，等到明年交易截止日前再處理。 Of the players coming back, the rest are on reasonable contracts and/or potential core pieces. Keegan Murray's new deal will kick in, and it looks like an overpay right now. But if Murray can get (and stay!) healthy, he should provide value on his extension. If the Kings move on from some others, Murray will be given every chance to do more in a bigger role. Maxime Raynaud, Nique Clifford and Dylan Cardwell are all keepers out of the team's young group. All have shown a lot as rookies and should be at least rotation players moving forward. 其餘的人合約都算合理，或者是潛在的核心成員。KM 的新合約即將生效，目前看來溢價 了。但如果 KM 能恢復並保持健康，他應該能展現新合約的價值。如果國王送走其他球員 ，KM 將有機會在更大的角色中盡情發揮。Max、Clifford 和卡好都是球隊中值得留下的 球員。這三人在新秀賽季都展現了很多潛力，未來至少應該是輪替球員。 It's admitting defeat, but Sacramento should decline Devin Carter's fourth-year rookie scale team option. Next year's salary is already locked in. Nothing can be done about that. But Carter simply isn't good enough for the Kings to carry $7.4 million on the books in 2027-28. He's another trade candidates, and not having that extra year of salary will likely help his trade value. 雖然這是在承認失敗，但國王應該拒絕執行 DC 新秀第四年的球隊選項。明年的薪水已經 全額保障了，國王無能為力。但 DC 的表現不足以讓國王在 2027-28 賽季的薪資單上承 擔 $7.4M。他是另一個交易候選人，而沒有額外一年的合約負擔可能有助於他的交易價值 。 Of the free agent group, maybe Killian Hayes could be brought back, if the team's tax issues clear up enough to fit him under the tax line. Precious Achiuwa, Drew Eubanks, Doug McDermott and Russell Westbrook have no place on a rebuilding team. All four should not be back and replaced with younger, developmental options. 在自由球員組群中，如果球隊的薪資清得夠乾淨能降到稅線下，或許可以簽回 Hayes。 Achiuwa、歐銀、McDermott 和龜龜在重建球隊中都沒有位置。這四個人都不應該回歸， 應該被更年輕、具開發潛力的球員取代。 That leaves the enormously important 2026 NBA Draft. This is where Sacramento has to get it correct. If they land in the top three, any one of A.J. Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson or Cam Boozer could be the pick. Peterson probably makes the most sense, given Sacramento is thin with guard prospects. But Dybantsa and Boozer would be fine, as their potential is more than enough to outweigh any potential positional fit issues.If Sacramento is outside of the top three, they can still land Caleb Wilson, Darius Acuff Jr., Kingston Flemings, Keaton Wagler or Mikel Brown, that would work too. Wilson is a true four, with the other four being potential lead playmakers. 這就讓今年的選秀極其重要，這是國王必須做對的地方。如果他們抽中前三順位，AJD、 DP 或 Boozer 中的任何一位都可能是人選。鑑於國王缺乏後衛，DP可能最為合理。但 AJD 和 Boozer 也可以，因為他們的潛力足以抵消任何潛在的位置適配問題。如果落在前 三順位之外，他們仍然可以選到 Wilson、Acuff、Flemings、Wagler 或 Mikel Brown， 那也行。Wilson 是一名純正的四號位，而其他四人則是潛在的進攻發動機。 The opportunity is there for Sacramento to add a big-time talent to a core that is being rebuilt around Murray, Raynaud, Clifford and Cardwell. That group, plus a high-end rookie, and a cleaned-up cap sheet should be the goal. This offseason gives the Sacramento Kings the chance to fully rebuild. They've now missed the postseason, so there's no reason to hang onto the idea of recapturing former glory for this group. A full reset is the only path that makes sense. It might take a couple of years to get things moving back in the right direction, but it has to happen. And it's not like Kings fans don't have experience waiting for things to get good again. No fanbase in the league has been more loyal during decades of rebuilding than the one in Sacramento. The Kings leadership has to give them something to put in hope again. That process starts this summer. 國王有機會在圍繞 KM、Max、Clifford 和卡好重建的核心中加入一名天賦。這組陣容， 加上一名高順位新秀，以及乾淨的薪資空間，應該就是今年休賽季的目標。這個休賽季給 了國王完全重建的機會，他們現在已經無緣季後賽，所以沒有理由再堅持重現昔日輝煌的 想法，完全重置是唯一合理的路徑。可能需要幾年的時間才能回到正確的方向，但這必須 發生。而且國王的球迷並非沒有等待好轉的經驗。在長達數十年的重建過程中，聯盟中沒 有哪支球隊的球迷比國王的球迷更忠誠了。國王的領導層必須給他們一些可以重新寄予希 望的東西。這個過程就從今年夏天開始。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 42.72.14.150 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://webptt.cc/bbs/NBA/M.1775615925.A.28C.html
