Former Sacramento King Matt Barnes joined Chris & Co Thursday to talk about the Sacramento Kings clinching their first postseason berth since 2006, what this means for the city of Sacramento, and what’s next for Mike Brown’s squad. Plus, can Domantas Sabonis be in the running for Most Valuable Player?
