Kings Hire Scott Perry as New GM After Changes

The Sacramento Kings have hired longtime NBA executive Scott Perry as their new general manager following the mutual departure of Monte McNair after the team's loss in the NBA play-in tournament. Perry, who previously worked with the Kings in 2017, brings experience from the Pistons, SuperSonics, Magic, and Knicks. He inherits a roster in transition after the significant trade of De'Aaron Fox for Zach LaVine. Perry has highlighted the need to add size, athleticism, defense, and especially a true point guard, indicating the team may target both trades and free-agent acquisitions. Kings owner Vivek Ranadive praised Perry's track record and alignment with the team's winning culture vision. Perry expressed enthusiasm about working with the current players and staff to move the organization forward.
