Zach LaVine gets brutally honest on Kings roster’s sad state of affairs after loss to Lakers

Everyone and their mother expected the Sacramento Kings to be bad heading into the 2026-27 season. But even the Kings players are throwing their hands up in the air and admitting that they’re not a very good team — with Zach LaVine making a casual, yet brutally honest, admission regarding the roster’s sad state of affairs. The Kings fell to 1-7 on the season after suffering a 116-103 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers, and they allowed Luka Doncic, the early favorite to win MVP, to dismantle their defense to the tune of 40 points on 11-of-23 shooting.
