The Sacramento Kings are hiring Joe Dumars to a front office position, according to The Athletic’s Sam Amick and confirmed by the Kings via press release. Dumars will serve as Special Advisor to General Manager Vlade Divac.
Dumars previously spent 13 years as General Manager of the Detroit Pistons, with mixed results. He was responsible for building the Pistons 2004 NBA Championship team, but also made a series of poor decisions as his tenure went on. As an advisor though, there’s a lot to like about adding Dumars to the staff.
