There is a pay wall(edit, actually you just need to sign up for a free account), but can you summarize the story cause I’d rather not right now.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

A) Crazy nepotism. She's definitely not qualified to be GM lol.
Anjali is an R&B singer-songwriter.
Anjali, who graduated from UC Berkeley with a marine science degree, founded Jaws & Paws, a marine and wildlife conservation nonprofit that spreads awareness about the conservation of sharks, polar bears, and tigers.
:lol: What about this qualified her to be the GM of their G-league team??!?
B) Holy smoke show.
C) That guy fumbled the bag big time - marry into a hottie's billionaire family, or go kill some prostitute. HMMMM tough choice. 
D) Lol she's dating Jeremy Lamb now. She's got a type :lol:

crazy how much social cache ball players have. have the pull to get a billionnaire daughter and a hot one at that and these are g-league or bench scrubs.

And she was dating Jeremy Lamb... who played for the Kings G-League team :lol:

edit: and Kings reddit says rumors she was entangled with Davion Mitchell to... maybe we now know why he got moved so cheaply
What an absolute failure and disaster this franchise is, ran by one of the most incompetent front offices in the league.

Jalen McDaniels cost the Kings a 2nd round pick to send him to San Antonio last season at the trade deadline. Was she also banging the sucky McDaniels brother??

And all this time we thought the Kangs made trades due to basketball-related reasons. Explains a lot of their puzzling moves. :lol: :lol:

https://kingsherald.com/articles/new-twist-in-chance-comanche-story/

Nearly two years ago now, Stockton Kings center Chance Comanche was arrested for the kidnapping and murder of 23 year old Marayna Rodgers. It was a shocking and tragic story, but today new revelations revealed by the New York Times give the story an even stranger turn, as it appears that Anjali Ranadivé, daughter of Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé and then GM of the Stockton Kings, was also romantically involved with Comanche.


So the arrest of Comanche was 2 years ago, but the part about the owner's daughter just coming out now. Pablo Torres could have got to the bottom of this quicker.

Using your wealth and influence to get your daughter railed by a series of G-leaguers (including an *alleged* murderer!) is an interesting choice.

This is after failed attempts to use the aforementioned wealth and influence to get her a career as a singer or actress, correct?

This story is super weird (what I can piece together from behind the paywall). Just another nepobaby I never want to hear from/about again. Go be unfathomably rich quietly and don't bother anyone.
