Shocking Move: Kings Fire GM After Playoff Elimination

The Sacramento Kings have reportedly parted ways with general manager Monte McNair after their play-in game loss to the Dallas Mavericks. McNair, who was hired in September 2020, spent five seasons with the Kings, leading them to one playoff appearance in 2023. Despite being named Executive of the Year that season, McNair's overall record with the Kings was 195-205.

The Kings' 2024-25 season was marked by turmoil, including the firing of Coach of the Year Mike Brown and the trade of star player De'Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs for Zach LaVine. The team now begins the offseason with the task of finding a new GM to steer them in a new direction following their recent playoff elimination.
