Kings Hire Scott Perry as New GM After Firing McNair

The Sacramento Kings have swiftly hired Scott Perry as their new general manager after firing Monte McNair following their play-in tournament loss to the Dallas Mavericks. Perry, who previously served as the Kings' vice president of basketball operations in 2017 before a stint as the New York Knicks' GM, brings a wealth of NBA executive experience, including helping the Knicks return to playoff relevance. The head coach position is also under review, with Doug Christie, the interim head coach and former Kings player, reportedly well-positioned to retain the role, aligning with the organization's preference for familiar leadership. The changes reflect the team's efforts to recover from recent disappointing seasons and reestablish competitiveness in the Western Conference.
