Jeremy Lamb's unexpected influence on the Sacramento Kings' front office dynamics may have played a larger role than anyone anticipated, leading to major organizational instability that culminated in De’Aaron Fox’sdeparture and internal turmoil.
Lamb, who initially arrived in Sacramento as part of the Domantas Sabonis trade in 2022, became a central figure within the organization—not for his on-court contributions but due to his relationship with Kings owner Vivek Ranadive’s daughter, Anjali Ranadive.
Lamb remains highly visible figures at Kings games, often sitting courtside with Vivek and seemingly exerting growing influence on the team's decision-making process. This led to frustration within the organization, as multiple sources within the team felt power dynamics were shifting in unpredictable ways.
One Kings employee sarcastically remarked to The Athletic that, “We’re all going to be working for Jeremy Lamb soon enough.”
Ranadivé has a net worth of $800 million.
