Minnesota Timberwolves v Sacramento Kings — SACRAMENTO, CA - APRIL 7: Vice president Vlade Divac, General Manager Pete D’Alessandro and Owner Vivek Ranadivé of the Sacramento Kings look on during the game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on April 7, 2015 at Sleep Train Arena in Sacramento, California.

Pete D’Alessandro is the Kings’ general manager.

New hire Vlade Divac is reportedly running Sacramento’s front office, or coach George Karl is.

Either way, you can see why D’Alessandro might want out.

Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports:

Sources: Sacramento Kings GM Pete D'Alessandro - who lost authority to Vlade Divac - will be a significant candidate for St. John's AD job.

If D’Alessandro gets the job, he’d oversee Chris Mullin – who bolted Sacramento’s front office to coach St. John’s.

Maybe they can start a support group about the difficulties of working for Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé. Mike Malone and Tyrone Corbin could join. It’s only a matter of time until Divac and Karl have interest.

At this point, the Kings probably aren’t overly concerned whether D’Alessandro stays or goes. But they should be concerned with how they got into this position.
