Ben McLemore can take that next step playing for David Fizdale. The dude is worth a gamble for Memphis. #NBAFreeAgency

Final Thoughts
There was little to no chance that the Kings were going to bring back McLemore for next season, so Kings fans are thrilled to see Flight 23 get a new and exciting opportunity to showcase his full potential.
Thank you for the memories you gave the Kings in the last four years, Ben, and best of luck going forward in your new chapter!
