When October arrives, the curtain of the Kings' training camp falls, and the annual media day unfolds at this time.
Although there were some minor issues during training camp, every player seemed very excited on media day.
Some clues could be gleaned from the players' interviews.
"This is the year I've seen the most reporters since I came to Sacramento." Stan said with genuine excitement.
The agreement he had reached with Ludar was a compromise, as Hansen's tough stance made him realize that if he didn't follow the coaching staff's instructions, he would only end up being traded.
And going to a new team to start over would be terrible for him, especially in a contract year.
But at this moment, he truly felt the changes in the Kings and realized that staying with the Kings was the best route for him.
"That's not important to me; I have bigger goals."
