While he likes the pieces the Kings added this summer, Mike Brown is more excited about keeping the core of the team together, which included the resigning of forward Harrison Barnes to run it back with primarily the same core group of players for the upcoming 2023-24 campaign. “I’m looking forward to seeing how we can handle the pressure,” Brown said. “It’s flipped now. We’re no longer hunting people; people are hunting us. And there are expectations, so how do we handle that? I believe our guys are ready for it, and with the fans that we have here and the juice they brought last year – let’s go. Let’s get it.”
