Sydney Kings General Manager of Basketball Operations James Newman is in Las Vegas for NBA Summer League as the reigning Champions continue searching for the final pieces of their NBL27 roster.

In his first interview since joining the Kings, Newman reflects on his journey from Paris Basketball to Sydney, the club's search for another frontcourt piece, the importance of roster flexibility in a changing global market, and why building another championship team will require a fresh mindset rather than relying on last season's success.
