Believe it or not, the Knicks don’t have the longest playoff drought in the NBA.
That dubious distinction belongs to the Sacramento Kings. They had their chance in the 2020 NBA Bubble, but played some seriously underwhelming basketball and saw their playoff-less streak extend to 14 years. The pressure became unbearable for longtime GM Vlade Divac, who stepped down Friday.
OK, but what does this have to do with the Knicks? Well, the Kings need a general manager, and ESPN’s Marc J. Spears believes Sacramento could turn their attention to old friend and current Knicks GM Scott Perry.
