The 2020 NBA offseason is on track to begin next month. When it does, Sacramento Kings general manager Monte McNair will start to implement his vision for which direction he wants to take the organization.
During his introductory press conference, McNair repeatedly mentions that he wanted to try and have some financial flexibility moving forward. With the NBA’s salary cap expected to stay flat due to the pandemic’s economic fallout, the Kings could look to shed some salary as they fill out the roster around star point guard De’Aaron Fox.
Buddy Hield’s extension kicks in next season, and with Bogdan Bogdanovic up for a new contract, McNair may be forced to look elsewhere if he wants to shed salary.
