Welcome back to the Royal Mailbag! We had a ton of great questions, so let’s dive right in!
From Rob Hessing via the comments: Do you see any scenarios where the Kings might be able to trade into the 1st round, either via taking on a little contract or by flipping a couple of 2nd rounders?
Tim: I think it’s possible, but highly unlikely. If Harrison Barnes opts into his $25 million option, or the Kings sign him to a similar long-term deal, the front office will have about $37 million in cap space to play with, assuming they let all of their pending free agents walk.
