The Sacramento Kings have just made a change with their personnel. However, it's not with the addition of a player or a trade that they completed recently, but have rather shook things in their front office by agreeing to move on without their now-former assistant general manager, Mike Bratz.

The move comes as a surprise as there were not a lot of speculation reported about the Kings planning to part ways with the 62-year-old. The Kings confirmed the development by issuing a statement where they wished him well in his future endeavors, via Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee.

“We agreed to part ways and appreciate all of his contributions to the Kings,” the team said in a statement Saturday night. “We wish him nothing but the best.”

Bratz played college ball for Stanford from 1974-1977 before being selected by the Phoenix Suns with the 66th overall pick in the 1977 NBA Draft. He went on to play for six different franchises and retired in 1986 with the Kings. Bratz went on to have a career in the front office capacity, serving as director of scouting and senior adviser to general manager Vlade Divac.

The Kings have yet to name a replacement for Bratz but they are expected to fill the position soon especially with major decisions needed to be made. That includes how active they'll be when trade season amps up next month, as well as plotting their path for the next few seasons, where an assistant general manager should be of big help, together with their other front office executives.
