The Sacramento Kings don't have a clear path to contention in the Western Conference, and the upcoming Keegan Murray contract extension might raise more questions than it answers about how the franchise plans to proceed after dealing its best player about seven months ago.
Murray will be a restricted free agent next summer — when you look at the contracts that similar players received, and factor in how exorbitantly the salary cap is expected to rise in coming years, Murray's asking price will undoubtedly be sky high.
Will the Kings be willing to pay it? I'm not sure.
