Sacramento missed out on ending the league's longest playoff drought (13 seasons and counting) but is considered an on-the-rise team in the West at 39-42 behind the starting backcourt of De'Aaron Fox and Buddy Hield

Divac has one year remaining on his contract after this season. He seems to have finally seized control of an organization that has often been marked by chaos in the past, and the Kings came very close to ending their playoff drought this season. If they stay on track, they could end it next season, and they’ll want to keep Divac involved in that as long as they’re trending up.
