NBA Sends Chris Granger, Brian McIntyre To Aid Kings This Week

NBA Commissioner David Stern yesterday said the league is “thoroughly committed to this year in Sacramento” and this week will assign nine league employees to help the team run its business. Stern said that Exec VP/Team Marketing & Business Operations Chris Granger will lead the league’s operational assistance in Sacramento. Brian McIntyre, Senior Communications Advisor to Stern, also will work with the team. McIntyre retired in '10 as NBA Senior VP/Basketball Communications after 30 years in the league. Stern also said Kings co-Owners Joe and Gavin Maloof are “in good standing” with the league (John Lombardo, SportsBusiness Journal).

Stern: "We are going to put all of our efforts in Sacramento and make it happen and make it succeed. ... This may be that special moment where forces join together. We're feeling pretty good about the prospects here" (SACRAMENTO BEE, 5/3).
