Mystery GM Snags Coveted Kings Position: Who's Behind the Throne?
Is hiring a new GM enough to pull the Sacramento Kings out of the Play-In purgatory? Well, the Kings certainly think so, and boy, do I need some convincing on this one! After a season that’s been less purple and gold, and more just downright dull, the front office has decided to shake things up – and not a moment too soon, mind you.
Right off the bat, in the wake of a disheartening loss to the Dallas Mavericks that ended their rather anticlimactic campaign at the Play-In threshold, the clock struck midnight on Monte McNair’s tenure as General Manager. This swift decision underscores one stark fact: the Sacramento Kings mean business, and they’re not just here to play patty-cake with the NBA’s elite. But is a mere change in management the remedy for what ails them?
Enter Scott Perry, a man whose career trajectory reads like an NBA scouting report with more passion than a Bobby McKinney scouting file. From his early days with the Detroit Pistons to a stint in Sacramento (which we’ll call the appetizer), to a New York Knicks main course lasting almost half a decade, Perry now returns to take the helm of the Kings with a mandate to steer them toward the Promised Land. But, will it be back to the future at the Kings, or simply a repeat of a not-so-distant past?
It’s a tale as old as time in the NBA – Can tweaking the roster, and indeed, the philosophy, bring success? We’re about to find out. Yet the real insightful question lingers like the lingering smell of burnt popcorn: can Perry, with his knowledge of team building and his flair for roster management, lead this Kings squad to live up to its name or will they continue to be just another court jester among the court?
For now, the Sacramento faithful await a new era with breathless anticipation. What’s for sure Fellows, if nothing else, is this: the Kings’ saga continues, and Perry’s journey has just begun – let the games begin!
