Final Thoughts

With LeBron officially a Laker, it is a sad day in the Kings community. Since the franchise has moved to Sacramento, there has not been a team Kings fans have despised more than the Lakers. And now that arguably the best player in the NBA will be in southern California for the next four years, it is causing the great Sacramento fans to become ill.

Remember, Kings fans. Your team is rebuilding and has a lot of promising young talent on their roster. It may be dark for the next couple of years, but hopefully, the purple and white will return to relevancy once again.

Kings fans will always have summer league though, right?🤷🏽‍♂️
