Sacramento, California. – Zach Lavine had a message for fans as he prepared against Orlando Magic to start his Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night.
He is emotional. He does not take this opportunity. And he is going to do everything he can do to win.
A few days after Lavin did a business with Chicago Bulls, Lavin said at his introductory news conference, “They take time to come here to see the game, spend their hard earned money to see and make the team happy and happy Are.” “I am going to stay there with him and can do everything for the city.”
In the 2014 draft, the number 13 pick Lavin by Minnesota Timberwells made it clear that he had a intimacy for his new franchise.
He worked for the Kings before being drafted. His family is originally from California and his home in Newport Beach.
In 2018, he signed an offer sheet of four years, $ 78 million with Kings that Bulls eventually matched.
In addition, both he and Kings interim coach Dug Christie are from Seattle.
“I have long been a fan of (The Kings),” Lavin said. “I thought I was going to sign here six years ago. I have a good relationship with many people who played here and I understand the culture here from being from the west coast. ,
Lavin, a two-time all-star, was sent to the Kings as part of a three-team trade with Bulls and San Antonio Sprows, who received the former Kings Point Guard Day ‘Arone Fox.
Bulls obtained Kevin Hunter and Zach Collins and Train Jones from Kings from Kings. Jordan went to the spurs from McLaglin Kings, Sidi went to Kings from Sisoco Spurs and the Kings also got six future draft pics-first-three and three seconds-rounders.
King’s General Manager Monte Macnaire called Lavin a “incredible talent”, a shot-maker and “someone who seals in court.”
Lavine 42 helps 24 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.5 in 42 games. He ranks fifth in the league in 3-point percent and is the highest percentage of 3S players made at least 100 in this season.
He is renoving with Demer Derejan at Sacramento, who spent three sessions with Bulls. They are eager to play with each other at the Western Conference.
“It just shows you how crazy this business works and how it comes around the full cycle,” Dirozan said. “I am excited to those who will play with him and I am excited to fans what he is capable of doing.”
