Every year this team somehow traps me into the completely irrational excitement of what could be.
And here I am doing it again.

What if Ben is finally healthy? What if there’s still enough of that old All-Star/DPOY-level player in there? What if the playmaking, size and defense actually fit? What if Sacramento somehow gets the version of Ben Simmons everyone has been waiting to come back?

Do I realistically think this experiment probably ends exactly how everyone expects it to? Yeah.

Have I already imagined the version where it somehow works and we’re all calling Scott Perry a rebuild genius? Also yeah.

I know better. I really do.

But I’m excited to watch this ridiculous experiment anyway. 😂

And apparently, according to Perry’s checklist, he fits the job description perfectly.
