## Resource

The Kings’ biggest offseason challenge? Replacing Anze Kopitar, whose leadership and defense defined the franchise for nearly two decades. With Quinton Byfield now ready to step into the spotlight, LA must decide whether he’s enough—or if they need to trade or develop a backup center to keep pace with the West’s elite. With top centers scarce and every contender hunting them, the Kings’ path forward hinges on smart moves, cap flexibility, and drafting wisely to avoid wasting their prime scorers.
