Good review but I think you missed a couple key items on the Kings:
1) Roster turnover
Out: WCS, Mason, Koufos, Jackson, Brewer, Shumpert

In: Dedmon, Barnes, Ariza, Joseph, Holmes, Lydon

I think the Kings get deeper and significantly better defensively with the new group of players

2) WCS versus Dedmon
Dedmon may by advanced stats not be a much better player but the fit with Fox and Bagley is much better. The Clippers would crush the Kings by putting Boban as a goal keeper on defense because WCS had no outside shot. Same with Jazz.

Dedmon’s 3 point shot has to be respected which will open up space for Bagley and Fox to attack the basket. Bagley and WCS were unplayable together and with more minutes and space I suspect a big jump from Bagley.
