The Kings go all-in. A rotation of Fox, Monk, Murray, Markkanen and Sabonis, with Huerter, Pat Beverly, Ellis, McDaniels and Kessler off the bench? They'd easily challenge for the top seed in the West with Dallas, Denver, Minnesota and OKC. At a minimum, they're the #5-6 seed, going up against one of those four.
Utah continues the tank for Cooper Flagg or Ace Bailey. While taking on a flier in Edwards, and a solid piece in Barnes, who could be easily flipped before the deadline for future draft picks and young prospects to contending teams.
