Also did great in free agency. He was hired to help in April and they had a miraculous turn around.

I know the guys we have now are clueless, so worth a shot

He's probably an executive journeyman. The Mike James (old Mike James) of front offices...

He probably tucks in his sweaters.. in the summer.

Better than what we have? I don't know that Mills and Houston are that bad, but if they are, this is the manifestation of the Tallest Midget syndrome... Good times are coming.

supposedly he also draft Kevin Durant...and he was in the Kings draft room this year...and the kings had a GREAT draft.

when I first red we get a kings guy to be our new GM...i first said great we plucked a GM from arguably a worse franchise then ours. But I read up and he's had a lot of success of being part of rebuilding teams. Seems pretty good at drafting/evaluating young players...

Durant was pretty much a no brainer.

So he also picked Darko ahead of Melo. Even better for the Knicks.

going to share this again for those who dont know anything about him

Perry was hired as a front office executive for the Detroit Pistons by President Joe Dumars in June 2000. As a member of their executive team, Perry assisted in building a roster that went to six Eastern Conference Finals appearances (2003-2008), two Eastern Conference Championships (2004, 2005) and the 2004 NBA Championship.

Afterward, Perry served as the assistant general manager for the Seattle SuperSonics (now Oklahoma City Thunder) for one season (2007–08).[3]

He was part of the front office staff that drafted Kevin Durant to the Sonics/Thunder in the first round with the second overall pick. He then returned to the Pistons to become vice president of basketball operations from 2008 to 2012.[2]

On June 25, 2012, Perry was hired by Orlando Magic General Manager Rob Hennigan to become Hennigan's vice president and assistant general manager.[1] ESPN basketball analyst and former NBA player Chauncey Billups spoke highly of Perry as the assistant General Manager of the Magic, saying, "I love Scott Perry in the front office."[4][5]

In his time in Orlando, Perry helped draft Victor Oladipo (2013), Aaron Gordon and Elfrid Payton (2014), and Mario Hezonja (2015) in Orlando.

On April 21, 2017 Perry was hired to be the Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations for the Sacramento Kings.

Any team that has three first rounders ends up having the highest draft grades. It works like that in football or basketball. "Said team really did well to address some needs and add some high impact guys...."

I like Fox and all, but we don't know if they had a great draft at all.

Trying to paint him in the negative when he was never the boss. I see...

that sounds terrible

can't really blame him for the 2014 draft

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_NBA_draft

thats a pretty horrible group Gordon/Payton are at least contributors...nothing special though.

Oladipo is a good piece.

Mario was a horrible pick. I think supposidly if you ask Magic fans they wanted KP really bad (so they had the right idea). Maybe they thought we were going Winslow or Mudiay and then when we picked KP they panicked...but from all accounts they wanted KP really bad. So they maybe reached with the euro thing with Mario.

I think its a good thing that we have to research who this guy is. I'm sick of high profile names who don't really know what they're doing/aren't super passionate about the work being done.

I kinda like that he was able to make a difference in Sacto. That is a franchise that has a worse owner and consistent history of dumber decisions than us.

True.

I would just be happy that we are bringing in someone from the outside. For a little i assumed we would just handle it internally, which would be worse. Hope he has a good vision for the future.

Oladipo/Gordon/Payton aren't bad picks. Mario was his worst there.

Gordon & Payton looking real shaky.
Oladipo cool. Mario is trash & a half, correct.

If I recall, they were the only team sweating KP hard

im going to leave this here since yall negative

“It’s all about the team, sacrificing and helping one another on a daily basis,” Perry, the Kings’ new executive vice president of basketball operations, told The Undefeated. “It’s all about development. We have to do a great job of continuing to develop and push young players to improve. It’s creating a culture that is accountable and conducive to winning. That’s the thing we have to do each and every day. You don’t wave a magic wand, but you commit to do it on a daily basis.

“I am very excited about this opportunity to help Vlade and ownership to get the Kings back to the culture they had a while back. There is a lot of young talent in the fold. Through the draft, we can create some pieces. It’s an exciting time.”

While Divac remains in his role as general manager, Perry will have a strong influence on basketball personnel decisions. The first major task for Perry with the Kings will be the heralded 2017 NBA draft. This draft is expected to be one of the best in years, with such prospects as Washington guard Markelle Fultz, Kentucky guard De’Aaron Fox, UCLA guard Lonzo Ball and Kansas swingman Josh Jackson.

He had a strong influence on the kings and basically turned them around in 3 months
