Pete D'Alessandro is gone and with him the first chapter of this new era of Sacramento Kings basketball closes. An era that started out with so much hope and optimism about the team's future has since devolved back into a general feeling of uncertainty and chaos.
Yesterday, when I heard the news that Pete had left, I had fully intended to write a piece going through all of Pete's moves one by one. But we've gone over these moves so many times by now it's unlikely that I'd find anything else to say. It's old news. What truly matters is the end result, where the team is as of right now compared to where it's come from.
