SACRAMENTO KINGS

Gary Gerould on a ‘gratifying’ Sacramento Kings offseason thus far

Jul 9, 2024, 8:34 AM

It’s not very often that the Sacramento Kings lure in a big free-agent target. This summer, they’ve inked two notable players to multi-year contracts.

Gary Gerould, the legendary radio voice of the Kings, joined Carmichael Dave and Jason Ross to discuss the culture shift in Sacramento, explain why he feels the moves to sign Malik Monk and DeMar DeRozan are significant for this franchise and much more.

Plus: G-Man shares some fond memories of his time with former Kings forward Harrison Barnes as ‘The Black Falcon’ heads to the San Antonio Spurs.

Topics Discussed

  • Gary reacts to former NBA player Gilbert Arena’s negative comments about Sacramento
  • Malik Monk and now DeMar DeRozan have chosen to sign with the Kings. Is that a sign things are changing here?
  • “It says a lot to the progress the organization is making… It’s gratifying to see it happen.”
  • Do these moves give G-Man a similar feeling to what he felt in the late 90s when Sacramento was building a winning product?
  • “It’s significant… Like everyone else, I’m excited.”
  • Harrison Barnes departs from the Kings following six seasons in Sacramento
  • G-Man compliments Barnes’ character and demeanor, on and off the floor
  • “He was special. There’s no question about it.”
  • Gary and his son, Bobby, will be on the call for the California Classic tonight at Golden 1 Center
  • “It’s extraordinarily special. I take a great deal of pride in doing that.”
