Kings Hire Pete D'Alessandro As General Manager

[RealGM Wiretap]

The Sacramento Kings and Pete D'Alessandro have reached a deal for him to become general manager.

D'Alessandro beat out Chris Wallace and others for the job.

D'Alessandro was most recently with the Denver Nuggets' front office after previously working for the Golden State Warriors.

Mike Malone had some input in the process that led to the Kings' hiring of D'Alessandro.

Seems like a sound hire.

Does Ranadive tell Petrie to go home now and let D'Alessandro make the pick in 2013?

Known as an analytics guy with Golden St. and Denver, it's interesting to note that both Mullin and Ujiri gave out some questionable contracts during D'Alessandro's time with each.
