Did Jeremy Lamb’s Relationship With Kings Owner’s Daughter Cause Unexpected Turmoil In Sacramento? Breaking Down Latest Reports

Freshly Retired Kings Player in Relationship With Sacramento Exec

Jeremy Lamb, who first came to Sacramento in 2022 as part of the Domantas Sabonis deal, rose to prominence in the organization—not because of his on-court accomplishments but rather because of his friendship with Anjali Ranadive, the daughter of Kings owner Vivek Ranadive.

Perhaps more than anybody could have predicted, Jeremy Lamb has an unanticipated impact on the Sacramento Kings front office dynamics. He has contributed to significant organizational instability, resulting in De’Aaron Fox’s departure and internal strife.

“What is the vision here? It feels like it could be headed toward chaos. We’re all going to be working for Jeremy Lamb soon enough,” one Kings employee mockingly told The Athletic.

After moving into a front-office position, Anjali was promoted to general manager in May 2023 after first serving as assistant general manager of the Stockton Kings, Sacramento’s G-League franchise, in 2022. Lamb played on the squad throughout her time there, and in October 2023, their romance was made public.

But scandal clouded her time as general manager. Chance Comanche, one of Stockton’s players, was detained and then charged with murder in connection with an alleged incident that occurred during a team road trip in Las Vegas. Anjali resigned from her position less than a month later, citing academic and personal obligations.

Jeremy Lamb’s Romance Is Reportedly Creating Chaos In Kings’ Front Office

Fox no longer believed in the team’s stability after declining several max contracts from the Kings in previous months. According to reports, he informed interim head coach Doug Christie that if the front office kept acting dysfunctionally, he did not see a future in Sacramento. The Kings’ tenure ended when Fox was dealt to the San Antonio Spurs shortly after.

  • TRENDING NEWS

Many people wonder who is actually in charge of the franchise due to the issue. Although Fox’s departure seemed to lessen Lamb’s power, his presence already had an impact. Before committing to Sacramento, even Domantas Sabonis allegedly looks for clarity on the organization’s destiny.

Separating fact from fiction in Boston’s 2023-24 campaign with Jeff Zilgitt
When a new NBA season begins, every team is undefeated, and, at least mathematically speaking, a title contender as well. But for fans of the Boston Celtics, such slights of hand are not going to be enough to slake the thirst for Banner 18 raging in the gullets of Bostonians and their ilk. But the consensus seems to be that Boston is as well-prepared to do the deed as any team in the league next season, with the Milwaukee Bucks and Denver Nuggets virtual co-favorites to win it all. When the dust settles on the 2023 NBA Finals, we will have our answer, but in the meantime, it is the duty of the league’s press corp to sort fact from fiction regarding the season ahead. To such an end, the hosts of the CLNS Media “Celtics Lab” podcast linked up with USA TODAY’s Jeff Zilgitt to do exactly that, from the preseason tilts we have seen thus far all the way on to the future of the league beyond this season and the next. Brace yourself for a few spicy takes plus plenty of agreement regarding this tea’s potential — no matter how it pans out, the NBA’s 2023-24 season already looks like the wildest of rides.

CLAB 19: Remembering Tommy Heinsohn & highly subjective draft thoughts
We originally planned to talk out irrational gut feelings or overconfidence in 2020 NBA draft prospects ahead of Wednesday’s big event, but a legend passed in the interim. With franchise icon Tommy Heinsohn’s death arriving after a long absence from the team he never could stay far from, we instead chose to share our favorite memories of the Celtic giant. We’re joined by Red’s Army writer and resident historian Mike Dynon, who regaled us with a window into his early fandom watching the Hall-of-Fame player and coach move to the other side of the clipboard. We did manage to squeeze in at least some of the draft talk we’d initially planned to focus on afterwards as well. Join Off the Glass’ Alex Goldberg, Celtics Hub’s Cam Tabatabaie, Celtics Wire editor Justin Quinn and Celtics Lab’s Mark Allison as we work out our nagging suspicions about the NBA draft.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/celtics-lab-nba-basketball-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

The Kings are once again enmeshed in uncertainty for a team that appeared to be turning the corner after overcoming a 16-year playoff drought. However, it is unclear if Vivek Ranadivé will be able to rebuild trust in the organization. Although, Jeremy Lamb’s meddling in Sacramento’s internal affairs has many more repercussions than anybody anticipated.
