Sacramento Kings guard Kevin Huerter joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross on Friday morning to recap the seven-game road trip, share what it was like behind the scenes as the team waited for the trade deadline to pass, and much more.

Huerter also shared his thoughts on the current state of the suddenly loaded Western Conference and talked about where Sacramento fits in the playoff picture.

Topics discussed include:

  • Huerter talks about how great it is to return home to Sacramento after a two-week-long road trip
  • How stressful was the NBA trade deadline for Huerter and members of the Kings?
  • “It’s a stressful day. People try to make light of it and crack jokes to get over how stressful it is, but we’re getting our news like everyone else is.”
  • Huerter shares what it was like for Sacramento to learn about the Kevin Durant trade on the flight home from Houston
  • Huerter says the Kings have put themselves in a position to “control their own destiny” as they make a playoff push.
  • “We’re in a really good spot. Our team has a lot of really good chemistry.”
  • Breaking down the end of Wednesday’s wild finish against the Rockets
  • Kevin looks ahead to this weekend’s back-to-back against the new-look Mavericks
  • Huerter on the season’s final stretch: “There’s a lot of good teams, but we’re a good team too.”
  • How can the NBA adjust its flawed replay review system?
