[Game] Game 31: Sacramento Kings @ Brooklyn Nets - 12/29/14 - 430 pst 730 est

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

According to BBref, Corbin made $12.5M over his playing career, and who knows how many more millions as an assistant and head coach, but let's say a minimum of $2.5M. Corbin has been in the job pool since 1985, and that says he has earned an average of over $500K per year since then - and that's not accounting for inflation making the early money worth more. Corbin's family will be fine.

Not accounting for taxes, either; I'm pretty sure he didn't get to take home $12.5M. Probably not enough to retire on, when you're putting two daughters through grad school. I also somehow doubt that Corbin has ever made Head Coach money, since has never actually been hired to be a head coach.

And frankly, even if you accept the premise that he's made "enough money" to provide for his family, which I do not necessarily stipulate, I still say that, unless he's decided that he never wants to coach in the NBA again, it would be a very ill-advised thing for him to do.

 

[VF21]

Ray McCallum was just dreadful.

Yeah, that's why we lost.

 

[PurpleHaze]

Did he just say,"we'll hear from Michael Malone in a minute." Meant to say Tyrone Corbin for postgame presser.

 

[FaStRmAn]

Cousins is screaming at stouskis

Id say he should be screaming at the coach, but I'm certain it is not Corbin's decision to play Stauskas when he clearly is not ready for the NBA. Maybe he should scream at the GM. Scared little Gerbil would wet his underoos...

 

[VF21]

Did he just say,"we'll hear from Michael Malone in a minute." Meant to say Tyrone Corbin for postgame presser.

No, he said "We'll hear from the head coach" and then went on to talk about Jay-Z not being present.

 

[VF21]

Okay, I'm outta here. Life is too short to relive so much pain.

I LOVE THIS TEAM but day-um...

 

[lawlman91]

I would've preferred 99 kings / 89 nets, instead of 107 nets/ 99 kings.

Man I would even have preferred 99 Nets / 89 Kings

 

[hrdboild]

What a stunning reversal this has been. We had a better fg%, made more three point shots, more assists, and more fast break points yet we still lost and most of the damage was done from the free throw line. We're now losing games in exactly the same way we used to win them.

 

[SacTownGrantFan]

Yeah, that's why we lost.

We lost by 8; McCallum was 0-5 with 3 turnovers. He was -13 on the floor. He seriously cannot dribble penetrate at all and it clogs up the offense.

Have an effective player in his spot and yeah, we would have won the game.

Have an effective Owner and Front Office and yeah, we would have won the game.

Fixed!

 

[206Fan]

If we had a real PG in our team, cousins would have 30pts every night like AD.. Do you guys see all the easy dunks the guy gets?

The game was not as close as the final score indicated. Pointing the finger at one guy is just so much scapegoating.

 

[FaStRmAn]

I'm sorry but at this point it's not the coach...it's the players just not wanting to play for Corbin and wondering, like the fans what the front office is doing. If they aren't serious about winning, why should the players play the same way they did for Malone?

Well you cant trade all the players away or fire them all. How about they go get a coach that all the players respect and maybe by the end of the season they will have turned this around. PDA made a MAJOR strategic blunder in firing Malone. THE MALONE MISSTEP will cost the Kings this season and probably next trying to fix what PDA has broken. Well they were a fun team to watch for the first few games anyway. GREAT JOB PEETIE !!

Im going to binge eat chik fil a. That is what I usually eat when im sad. What does everyone here eat when they are sad?

The only way you can right this ship is to get the right coach and not just another one with minimum or no experience so for the sake of the players and this fan base this next coaching hire is huge and they need to stick with it and leave it alone, for good.

 

[PurpleHaze]

DeMarcus Cousins for Kings head coach - player-coach! Desperate times call for desperate action. Bill Russell was player-coach for three years of his Hall of Fame career with Boston. Two championships of his 11 titles won while in dual role. Of course rather have George Karl. But no one can tell me Cuz wouldn't be better coach with more fire, passionthan ol'Ty I'd rather have any hope than no hope heading to Boston for next game. Ok, on second thoughts maybe that would only be recipe for even more techs logged by Boogie - but still.

Hey I've never had chik fil a. Are they good?

 

[BenThePizzaGuy]

Check out the thread I posted in the Personal Moves section. I'm anxious for responses!

 

[Larry89]

Hey I've never had chik fil a. Are they good?

Yes, I usually get their fries and chicken strips, the nuggets have a weird texture to them compared to the strips. The sandwiches are too plain for me but the tenders and the fries in the honey mustard sauce numbs my pain from almost a decade of kings losses.

Corbin took over mid season at Utah in '10-'11, and then coached the entire season for the subsequent three years. At some point there he HAD to be hired on as the actual head coach, there's no way he was an interim for three and a half years.

And frankly, even if you accept the premise that he's made "enough money" to provide for his family, which I do not necessarily stipulate, I still say that, unless he's decided that he never wants to coach in the NBA again, it would be a very ill-advised thing for him to do.

You know, I actually lost the thread of what you were agreeing with in principle. I thought it was the firing of Corbin, not Corbin revolting against ownership. My main point was Corbin's financials, though so I guess that it doesn't matter a lot, but I do agree that Corbin revolting against management is not his best move.

Hopefully I will get to try some soon..I've heard a lot of rages about them.

It is ALL on PDA's head right now. All of this is his hot mess to fix. He created this problem by not waiting till the end of the season. Now the Fans are PISSED, the Players are PISSED, and Corbin is probably PISSED too for being put in this situation. This is not what he wanted either.

So PDA needs to hire a new coach sooner rather than later. Players have all but come out and say they are not going to give any effort playing for a lame duck coach. Players are NOT going anywhere because of the contracts and salary cap. SO they had best hire a REAL coach ASAP to coach this team. And if PDA screws up and gets a coach that fails, he should be FIRED for his INCOMPETENCE ! He has not done very well as GM. He had a few good signings but he's made some really boneheaded decisions. Seems the TEAM does not think much of PDA and his ideas of STYLE. Fans dont think much of his STYLE. He better have a coach before Friday or he needs to be fired.

Lame duck head coach who knows hes gone soon and the locker room seems to be falling apart. What a shocker.

I like the fire, but I don't know if it's time to start calling out teammates after the defensive performances he's turned out the last few games. Charity begins at home big fella.

How do you combine Jason Thompson and Derrick William's names into one. Somebody get right to that.
