The Sacramento Kings seem keen on adding All-Stars, at least to their upper management. The franchise has offered Peja Stojakovic a full-time front office position, according to ESPN’s Marc Stein. Stojakovic would reportedly serve as a player personnel assistant to Vice President of Basketball and Franchise Operations Vlade Divac.

So far this offseason Stojakovic has worked as a consultant for the Kings. The 13-year NBA veteran remains close friends with Divac, his Sacramento teammate from 1998-2004.

The 38-year-old Stojakovic was drafted 14th overall out of Greece in 1996 and holds career averages of 17.0 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.4 turnovers in 33.5 minutes over 804 appearances (665 starts). He played 518 games with the Kings, who retired his No. 16 jersey on December 16, 2014.
