About this listen

In this episode of KingsPod2020, Toke and Geoff unpack a chaotic stretch for the Sacramento Kings and what the trade deadline revealed about the franchise's deeper issues. The conversation centers on why Kings fans — and the organization itself — consistently overvalue assets, misunderstand rebuilds, and fall back on draft-pick obsession despite years of evidence that losing only makes everything harder.

The guys break down Scott Perry's early moves, the Dennis Schröder experiment, trade rumors surrounding Domantas Sabonis, and why quickly unwinding mistakes is better than doubling down on them. They also take a hard look at Doug Christie's coaching, the lack of offensive structure, and how nostalgia continues to cloud decision-making at every level of the franchise.
