The Sacramento Kings are currently rebuilding, as they have eight players on the roster who are one-year NBA players or rookies. The team has also brought in a few veterans to help lead the young group, and guard Garrett Temple is one of them. Temple, who signed a three-year contract in July of 2016, likes playing for the Kings and may never leave. "I can see myself finishing my career here. I can definitely see that," Temple told NBC Sports California. "I have a great relationship with the front office. I have a great relationship with the coaching staff, the fans as well." In 11 appearances this season, Temple is averaging 8.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists, while providing a good defensive presence on the floor. Temple is also making 39.6 percent of his attempts from behind the 3-point line. Temple, 31, owns a players option worth $8 million for 2018-19, and he has not made a decision yet about whether to exercise it or choose to become a free agent next summer. "I'm a guy who wants to win, so I'm definitely going to weigh my options depending on how this year goes out," Temple said. "But I'm a guy who loves this team. I love these young guys." -- Nick Silva
