Scott Perry reveals Kings’ expectations for 2025-26 NBA season originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
New Kings general manager Scott Perry sat down with NBC Sports California’s Deuce Mason and Morgan Ragan and revealed his expectations for Sacramento’s 2025-26 NBA season on the “Deuce and Mo” podcast.
“I’m not going to put a numerical wins expectation on this group,” Perry told Mason and Ragan. “My expectation is in defining that identity of who we’re going to be [and] how we’re going to play.
“I want you to be able to look at the end of the season and say, ‘OK, I see the competitive; I see the tough; I see the team-oriented; I see the discipline; I see the professionalism and accountability.’ If we can do that, and we’re playing hard every night like that, we’re going to give ourselves a chance to win. So let’s see where that takes us.”
The Kings are coming off a disappointing 40-42 season and find themselves looking for top-to-bottom stability after parting ways with franchise icons De’Aaron Fox and Mike Brown within the last eight months.
Sacramento now is two campaigns removed from its iconic “Beam Team,” which snapped the franchise’s 16-season playoff drought.
Perry undoubtedly is inheriting a complex situation riddled with storied NBA All-Stars, valuable role players, eager youngsters and a city that is patient but ready to win. And for those reasons, the new Kings executive isn’t putting any minimums or maximums on what Sacramento can be in the 2025-26 season.
“Obviously, I’d love to win a lot of games. But let’s see,” Perry told Mason and Ragan. “I’m not going to — because I’m still learning the group, too, and learning what we really have. And that will help formulate some decisions moving forward, too.”
Perry wants Kings fans to be patient as the new era takes shape. However, he is well aware of how patient Sacrmaento has been for a long, long time.
