Lose as many games as possible to get 9th or 10th seed in order to retain draft pick from Atlanta due to its lottery protection. ———————————————————————- Draft Night: *With the 14th pick, hopefully Draft Yves Missi, a Decent presence in the interior on both ends, okay in the pick and roll, has potential to really alter shots and anchor a defense, shown upside of his ability to face up defenders, get down hill and create for himself. Could be a very quality backup and anchor on defense in the non Sabonis minutes.

• Then trade down with the Pistons pick for some more draft compensation/bigs with decent potentiol plus a pick around the 50th where they’d draft Johni Broome, an experienced 3 level scorer, who can guard 4 through 5, and knows how to exploit mismatches.

• I'm pretty certain the Kings will atain the Stnandard Mid Level Exeption ($12,859,000) *In my opinion, they shouldn’t spend the MLE on any FA’s so they can duck the 2nd apron (189,485,000), and extend their players eligible for rookie scale extensions, or instead they could use it via trade if they ever wanted to seriously bid on Kuzma again.

• Withdraw Javal Mcgee Non-Bird rights and either Alex Len or Kesler Edwards maybe? *Sign Malik Monk using early bird rights to a 4 year contract worth $78.4M. 2023 $17.4M 2024 $18.7 2025 $20.3M. 2026 $21.9M.

• Decide between Alex Len, Kesler Edwards or Wenyen Gabriel as well as many others they could spend that MLE on for the last roster spot.

• Sign Jordan Ford and Jalen Slawson to two-way contracts

• Sign Wenyen Gabriel, Kessler Edwards, Alex Len, Isaiah Briscoe, Mychal Mulder, Issac Humphries, Marquese Chriss, and Ivan Rabb to exhibit 10 deals. (Picked these guys based off of being born in Sacramento or playing for Kentucky in 16-17)
