As a longtime fan of the Sacramento Kings, I've trained myself to be a cynic. Don't get excited. Expect the worst. And for the most part this has served me well. But I'm an optimist at heart, and sometimes I can't help but buy in. I'm dreading this offseason in many ways, to the extent that my stomach knots up when I think of all the ways it could go wrong. Nonetheless, I'm finding myself buying in, and it's entirely because of Vlade Divac.
Divac is definitively in charge of the basketball side of operations. He's calling the shots and steering the ship.
