It’s been a long 15 years for the Sacramento Kings. The franchise hasn’t been in the playoffs since 2006, is mired in a 1-10 slide, and sits 13th in the Western Conference.
The last time the Kings were considered contenders was during the early part of the century. Led by Chris Webber, Vlade Divac and Mike Bibby, Sacramento was one of the best teams in the league between 2000 and 2005.
One of the core players from those teams had the opportunity to run the franchise. Unfortunately, Divac couldn’t get the job done. The Kings went 162-238 during Divac’s tenure, and he was replaced by new general manager Monte McNair last offseason.
