The Athletic‘s Sam Amick joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross on Thursday morning to talk about the Sacramento Kings’ impressive win over the Indiana Pacers, contemplate if and when general manager Monte McNair will secure a contract extension, and much more.

Topics discussed include:

  • When was the last time that Golden 1 Center had this type of energy–if ever?
  • Sam gives his read on the Kings as we cross the 20-game mark
  • Are there ongoing discussions between Kings GM Monte McNair and Vivek Ranadive on a contract extension?
  • “I do think that the more winning that happens, the odds shoot through the roof of Monte sticking around.”
  • Amick thinks that it’s only a matter of time before McNair gets an extension
  • Assessing the Domantas Sabonis–Tyrese Haliburton trade nine months later
  • What do the Kings have to do to be considered the winner in the trade?
