It’s been eight seasons since the Sacramento Kings experienced the postseason, this after a very impressive run through the early portion of the 200’s.

Suggesting that the Sacramento Kings could make the postseason this year seems unlikely given the depth in the Western Conference, though owner Vivek Ranadive says there are no more excuses and this season will be judged off wins and losses.

“Last year, when the season started, I said it wasn’t going to be about wins and losses,” Ranadive stated. “When I came here and we bought the team, there was dysfunction in the locker room, there wasn’t mutual respect, the arena was literally falling apart, the roof was falling down. So we brought in a new team, we restored stability, restored respect, we put in a strong culture. But this year, let’s be clear, it is about wins and losses.”

The Kings were routine bottom dwellers thanks to poor management from the previous Maloof ownership group though have quickly become a budding franchise under Ranadive. That may not translate into a postseason birth this year though with DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay anchoring the Sacramento Kings you have to think success is on the horizon in California’s capital city.

Ranadive has already turned the Kings into a global entity as they will host the Brooklyn Nets in China and have taken over Ranadive’s native India.
