Luke Walton’s job is safe even with Vlade Divac gone

With Vlade Divac out from the front office, the Sacramento Kings announced in their team release that all personnel moves will be on hold until the team hires a new general manager:

“No further personnel decisions will be made until a new General Manager is in place.”

This language implicitly suggests that Luke Walton will not be fired despite a disappointing first season in Sacramento, and Sam Amick of The Athletic confirmed explicitly that Walton will be returning to the Kings next season, whenever that happens to be.
