Leadership, success, accountability. These are all words that businesses and sports teams love to throw around when preparing fancy scripts for contrived news conferences. Yet, where things really begin and end in an organization is with a vision. It's through the leadership and accountability of that vision that ultimately success is achieved or missed.
On April 21, 2006 the Kings made a move that was as significant as drafting the right player or signing a key free agent. Dean Lombardi was hired as the new President and General Manager. His mission was simple - turn the Kings into a winning franchise.
OK, so maybe it wasn't an easy task. However, he has a plan and he's sticking to it.
After watching the Kings play for the last 20 years - first at the Forum, now at Staples - the Kings appear to finally be headed in the right direction...a long term plan, rather than a flavor of the month approach.
If you agree, then it's time to prove it. You can now order - for yourself or your favorite Kings fan - a shirt that proudly proclaims IN DEAN WE TRUST.
