The Sacramento Kings and general manager Monte McNair are mutually parting ways, sources tell ESPN. McNair spent five seasons running the Kings, winning NBA executive of the year in 2023 when Sacramento went 48-34 and snapped a record 16-year drought to make the playoffs.

bro saw the game and said im done lmao
It should’ve been Nico💔
Well time to blow up the team
From 3rd seed to Bulls West in 2 years is tough.
Game ended not even an hour ago btw
There we fucking go.
“Mutually”
Sure, pull our other leg lol
What putting together Bulls Redux and expecting playoff success will do to a GM
*McNair walks in*
Vivek: “You’re out.”
McNair: “Oh thank God.”
LIGHT THE BEAM FOR THAT
He outlasted Nico! The wicked truly never get their due.
I hope we don’t bring back Vlade
This guy took a young 3 seed into the 3rd oldest team in the nba over 2 years. He threw away a lot of assets to create Bulls west
The destruction of the beam team will be studied for ages
I was just texting my friend that the “Monte has been fired tweet is gonna hit like crack”
How is James Jones surviving his tenure man
This timing makes more sense than the other teams that still are in the playoffs.
Watch Vivek hire the trifecta of Vlade as GM, Anjali (his daughter) as Assistant GM, and Mark Jackson as Head Coach
people clowning him but look at the dumpster fire Vlade left him to start his tenure.
Best move by the Kings all season. Now blow it up.
I imagine Vivek and Monte just looked at each other as the buzzer went off and nobody really needed to say anything further.
Thank you for haliburton, pacer legend 🙏
turned my team into the fucking bulls, respectfully. good riddance lmao
Teams can fire people after the season instead of right before it ends? Who would’ve thought?
Definitely a mutual decision 2 minutes after losing the play-in, lol.
Lmao if they bring back Vlade in some capacity after this, there really is no hope for the kings
Kangz back in motion after a successful season for them 2 seasons ago , oof
An organization crumbling right before our eyes, right after that corny ass my little pony intro.
Imagine working at the front office of an NBA team, watching a game, and by halftime you’re already packing your bags and calling your realtor.
As much of trainwreck this season was, Monte was still the 2nd most successful GM in the Sacramento era of the Kings franchise. I don’t know if I can handle another 16 year playoff drought. I wouldn’t wish being a Kings fan on my worst enemy.
The 2023 Coach Of The Year and NBA executive of the year have now both been fired. Wild.
Losing the play in game at 10 and fired by 1030 is insane lol
SMASH THE BEAM!
