The Kings have announced that Shareef Abdur-Rahim is changing roles, going from the bench, where he's served as an assistant coach for the last two years, to the front office, where he is now an assistant general manager. He joins Mike Petrie in that role, with Geoff Petrie and Wayne Cooper leading the front office.

It's unclear why Reef is transitioning from the bench to the executive suite. The Kings did add Otis Hughley as an assistant, but he was seen as replacing Bryan Gates, who left to join Monty Williams' staff in New Orleans.
