The Sacramento Kings have parted ways with general manager Monte McNair following a disappointing end to the season. McNair, who joined the Kings in 2020, made critical moves including drafting Tyrese Haliburton and later trading him for Domantas Sabonis, a decision that helped the team reach the playoffs in 2023 for the first time since 2006. However, the Kings' performance declined in 2024, leading to an early elimination from the Play-In Tournament. Coach Mike Brown was also dismissed after a rocky start, marking a turbulent end to McNair's tenure.

The Kings are set to hire Scott Perry as McNair's replacement. Perry, previously the general manager of the Knicks, has an extensive background in NBA front offices, including a brief stint with the Kings in 2017. As Sacramento searches for a new leadership direction, questions linger about the franchise's future strategy and whether they will promote from within or seek external candidates.
