The Kings also placed a high value on this meeting, with not only General Manager Divac present but also the team's president and owner, Vivek Ranadive.
Although he had spoken with Ajalee many times over the years, this was Hansen's first time meeting Vivek.
Unlike Ajalee, who was born in the United States as an American, Vivek was born in India and is an Indian-American immigrant.
He gives off the vibe of a typical Indian elite at the grassroots level, looking very amiable but with a certain sharpness hidden in his eyes.
The meeting with the Kings was initially just a formality, but Divac, the main point of contact, was earnestly elaborating the conditions the Kings could offer.
The Kings could appoint Rondo as the President of Basketball Operations, and Hansen would receive substantial decision-making power in the management.
