About this listen
Perry takes listeners inside the Sacramento Kings organisation, breaking down the realities of modern roster construction under the new CBA, the impact of the first and second apron, and why team-building today is fundamentally different from even a decade ago. He explains why patience, internal development, and alignment between ownership, front office, and coaching staff matter more than splashy moves or unrealistic timelines.
The conversation covers Perry’s transition from media back into the GM chair, how stepping away gave him a league-wide perspective, and what that taught him about trends shaping the NBA’s future - from the return of size and two-big lineups to the growing importance of multiple ball-handlers and half-court execution in clutch moments.
Perry also gives candid insight into:
- Building culture versus chasing optics
- Why the draft remains the most sustainable competitive advantage
- Developing young players in a results-obsessed league
- The real value of veterans like Russell Westbrook in establishing standards
- How front offices actually think about timelines, expectations, and pressure from fans
If you want to understand the NBA beyond box scores and trade machines, this is a masterclass straight from an active NBA general manager.
