The Sacramento Kings decided it was time to go in another direction when they fired Vlade Divac. Owner Vivek Ranadive conducted a thorough search to hire the team’s next general manager and ultimately decided on Monte McNair.
McNair spent 13 seasons with the Houston Rockets before taking the job with the Kings. He and former Rockets GM Daryl Morey worked together closely and used analytics often to build Houston into a championship contender.
At his introductory press conference, McNair shared what his approach will be to try and end the Kings’ playoff drought.
