Kings’ Domantas Sabonis to miss start of season with hamstring injury
Hello Hello person. What’s the mindset, the thought process that you like the new mentality that’s bringing first, yeah, of course you have *** platform that’s just like last year. I agree to that. I was quoting so. How did you process it was tough, you know. I feel like *** lot of us, especially personally, went through *** lot of new experiences for the first time, you know, throughout the season, and yeah, just learning how to deal with it, you know, move forward. It was tough because no one knew who was staying, who was going to be here, you know, and yeah, we just try to do the best we could. Tomas, how long did it take to And that clarity that you were looking for this offseason to know that things were going to be OK, you know Scott’s done *** great job of making it clear of how he wants to play, how he wants his organization run and what to believe in it aligns with *** lot of players here, so that’s *** really good start. Dennis is fantastic. The last couple of years, you know, doing amazing things, you know, and apart from having *** high IQ can get all of us in the right position, you know, he’s also going to guard. Can you explain how difficult it is to do what he’s done, winning all those European titles and MVP he’s done the last 4 years. alluded over the summer somewhere to to changes in the offense and you know with Doug coming back. What what’s that going to look like in terms of, you know, comparative to what you’ve done he’s gonna want you to be all over the floor, you know, all over the floor, you know it doesn’t matter if I I can be out. more spacing, he wants to make it more difficult for teams to guard us and using me *** bit differently than that mean even if you’re still initiating somewhere maybe doing it in different places, different spots exactly little things like you know if I’m *** dunk or space out instead of being there, you know, trying to make. You know the nontraditional traveling the world with Doug how do you help the players and coaching staff’s tough he’s assistant coach for *** long time, you know, and now he’s going to have to be real with some of the guys, you know, even myself, so definitely *** new way I can help him out there, you know, throughout the season. The thing I love about it, you know, have *** great relationship that we can be honest to each other and we only we only want what’s best for us. You’re like can you believe that? That’s crazy when you reflect on that and what your father has done and the legacy that you’ve been trying to build, just how incredible is that? Uh it’s it’s very cool, you know, kids are getting older, so you know they’re they’re starting to understand it too, so it just makes it even more exciting. um. There’s midseason training and then I’m *** whatever it was, you know, so I’m excited now that we start. start to learn this new offense, defensive schemes and see what you think about that, of course I think that would be *** lot of fun, you know. And I feel like guys will compete, you know, I’ll definitely compete you know no matter what the game is, and it’s definitely exciting, you know, they’ll definitely catch up more globally for sure. editions and those guys. All different types of characteristics of the year. To get those attempts higher and what I worked on was basically having *** quicker release you know so I just feel more comfortable. Do you want to get back to the DHOs or *** lot of the main games, especially with an emphasis on this? Uh, you know, the offense, so we’ve we’ve only got little things throughout the summer, so we, we don’t have the full package, you know, I was used differently towards the end of the year and hopefully this summer, you know, what we’ve talked about is that we’re gonna try and focus on other ways where we can. Malik’s kind of situation having to be, you know, sort of the subject of some speculation over the summer and to come back it’s definitely not, especially *** guy who left Sacramento like I love him. And uh but he’s been nothing but *** true pro, you know, guys have been coming in early, working together, you know, he’s been here every day and showing his face and, uh, you know, he’s he’s he’s still *** huge part of what you guys expect to do it’s *** huge party still here you only get some wine, it’s the 4. And we’re going live. Everyone asked me last year. It’s on. I’ll repost it today for everyone. I’m not, it’s 9 a.m. you gotta be there.
