The Sacramento Kings are shaking up their front office by bringing in Scott Perry as their new general manager, marking a return for the longtime NBA executive. Perry, who previously had a brief stint with the Kings in 2017, has an extensive background with teams like the New York Knicks, Orlando Magic, and Detroit Pistons. His arrival signals the end of Monte McNair's tenure as GM, following a successful stretch where the Kings achieved their first winning seasons in years and broke a lengthy playoff drought.
Under McNair's leadership, the Kings experienced a resurgence on the court, winning 40 or more games in three consecutive seasons. His notable accomplishment includes being named NBA Executive of the Year in 2023, showcasing his ability to rebuild and reshape the franchise. However, McNair's departure comes amid other changes in the front office, with assistant GM Wes Wilcox recently leaving to pursue a new opportunity as the general manager of the University of Utah's men's basketball team. As the Kings pivot towards a new direction with Perry at the helm, fans are eager to see how this transition will impact the team's future success on the court.
