Editorial Comment: A Turning Point for the Sacramento Kings
The Sacramento Kings have reached a crossroads—one that is painfully familiar to anyone who remembers the final days of the Kansas City Kings in 1985. Despite a roster that is far more talented than their record shows, the team currently looks like the worst squad in the NBA. The disconnect between potential and performance has become too glaring to ignore.
For those who lived through the Kings’ transition from Kansas City to Sacramento, this moment carries a deeper sting. My uncle, Joe Benvenuti, stepped in and purchased the franchise to bring NBA basketball to this city. He refused mediocrity, he rejected complacency, and he never accepted a culture that tolerated losing. He took bold action because he believed this city deserved excellence. Today, that same spirit demands to be revived.
Right now, something is broken—not just in the standings, but in leadership, culture, and direction. Scripture reminds us, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18, NLT). A team without direction, accountability, and purpose will drift straight into irrelevance, no matter how bright the individual talent may be. The Kings are drifting. And the city that fought tirelessly to keep this franchise—through threats of relocation, ownership shake-ups, and rebuild after rebuild—deserves better.
The choices are clear:
Either dismantle this roster and rebuild with honesty and conviction, or make the tough decisions necessary to right the ship immediately. But staying the course, crossing our fingers, and pretending that minor tweaks will fix systemic issues is no longer acceptable.
A franchise with this level of fan devotion must not settle for a culture of passivity. As Scripture warns, “A house divided against itself will collapse” (Luke 11:17, NLT). And right now, the organization feels divided—between ambition and reality, between talent and execution, between what this team is capable of and what it is choosing to settle for.
Sacramento has some of the most loyal fans in professional sports. They fill the arena through winning seasons, losing seasons, rebuilds, false starts, and broken promises. These fans are not asking for perfection—they are asking for leadership, vision, pride, and accountability.
It is time to make bold decisions. It is time for honesty. It is time for courage. It is time for the Kings’ organization to look itself in the mirror and take action that reflects the value of this city and the legacy of the franchise’s founders.
Sacramento deserves better. And the time to act is now.
You ain’t just whistlin’ dixie Matt.
