Vlade Divac got his man; Luke Walton is the new Head Coach of the Sacramento Kings. Just three days after firing Dave Joerger, who led to the Sacramento Kings to a surprising 39-43 record, Divac moved quickly to hire his first choice for a replacement, agreeing to a multi-year deal to make Walton the Kings’ new head coach, according to The Athletic’s Sam Amick.
Walton mutually parted ways with the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday, as the team reeled from the surprising resignation of their President of Basketball Operations, Magic Johnson.
