So most fans are really familiar with the basketball side of an NBA team.

You know the starting five.

You probably know the general manager and the coach.

And then there's this parallel world in NBA franchises, which is the business operations.

Kevin Arniewicz writes about the NBA for ESPN.

NBA teams have senior vice presidents of human resource.

And for the Sacramento Kings,

that person is Stacey Weggson. So August 2018, Wexen is doing human resource-y stuff. For one,

there's this document that an executive who just left for the Miami Heat was supposed to leave

behind. It was a schedule of commissions

for sales reps. But he's forgotten to do so, and now she needed to dig into some files to find it.

So she opens up the file directory, and it is a mess. She can't find anything. There's no rhyme or

reason to dates or names of folders. She does find this one

folder titled TurboTex. And inside is all kinds of just really weird stuff. There's a depreciation

schedule for a golf cart and furniture at some beach house in Southern California. None of this

looks like anything that is Sacramento King's business.

And what's really weird is all of this stuff is associated with an entity she has never heard of.

Weggson looks over all this stuff and she just knows something here isn't right.
