11月4日，24直播网带来最新消息，肯德里克·帕金斯在《Road Trippin' Show》新一期节目中，对萨博尼斯与阿卡夫在国王队内的传闻进行了探讨。据悉，有关萨博尼斯渴望摆脱萨克拉门托束缚的消息已有所流传，同时，他对与阿卡夫的搭档关系也表现出不满情绪。
帕金斯感慨地说：“别了，朋友们。坦白讲，这并非阿卡夫需要适应你的挑战，而是他的球队，他的体系，他们已正式将球队交到他手中。他就是球队的新象征。”
Adapting to play alongside an athlete like Arkav might seem challenging to you, yet many faced a similar adjustment period when joining forces with Curry.科尔 eventually recognized the importance of allowing Curry to express himself on the court. Arkav has maintained his distinct style since his college days, a trait that has remained unchanged upon his arrival in the NBA. I've often heard comparisons drawing parallels between him and the modern-day Iverson. Indeed, he is known for his aggressive shooting, yet he also demands a considerable price from his opponents.
在漫长的岁月里，国王队一直是联盟的笑料之源。然而，我对球队管理层，包括斯科特·佩里等人，抱有信心。自从他们接管球队以来，他们已建立起坚实的球队基础，而这基础正是建立在阿卡夫的身上。我始终强调阿卡夫的卓越表现，尽管因此遭受了不少非议。我依然坚信我的观点，他理应成为当年选秀中最出色的后卫。
帕金斯坦言，尽管阿卡夫在短期内可能难以显著提升国王队的胜率，但他坚信这位球员的个人统计数据和竞技表现将不会辜负众望。
