ESPN Sources: After orchestrating a remarkable franchise renaissance, Sacramento Kings GM Monte McNair has agreed on a contract extension. Under McNair, who was in final months of his deal, Kings are third in West and on cusp of ending a 16-year postseason absence.

Kings are working to finalize a new deal with assistant GM Wes Wilcox too, source said. McNair and Wilcox have worked closely together in reshaping the organization into a Western Conference contender.

'bout time! Nicely done, Monte! The extension is certainly well-earned!

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

'Bout.

Damn.

Time.

Brown and McNair might be taking home the COTY and EOTY awards if the Kings keep this up. Curious to see the details but regardless, well deserved.

 

[Pacboy]

Does this mean the bet is over regarding the middle manager??

 

[gunks]

LETS EFFIN GO!!!

Monte is a stud. The Michael Jordan of middle managers even!

You never know. He might still get canned before the trade deadline.

 

[Insomniacal Fan]

Well done!

 

[iowamcnabb]

yesssss!

 

[KainLear]

You never know. He might still get canned before the trade deadline.

Especially if we are entering the "treadmill" phase...

 

[iowamcnabb]

one year deal right?

 

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

Pulled out of an ESPN article (link to article located below)...

The Kings hired McNair after 13 seasons as a front office executive with the Houston Rockets, charging him with the reshaping a historically dysfunctional and underachieving franchise.

Monte has, single-handedly, taken the "dys" out of "dysfunctional" AND the "under" out of "underachieving"...

so umm, he's not getting fired before the all star break? I was assured he was.

Vivek gonna Vivek

 

[SLAB]

Win!

Definitely came into this season feeling unconfident in the team, thinking Monte wouldn’t be extended, and we’d forever be on the GM/Coach from different regimes treadmill forever.

Love to be wrong. Just gotta get Sabonis’ pen to paper now.

 

[The_Jamal]

one year deal right?

One month deal more than likely

 

[The_Jamal]

Props to Vivek for getting this done early and not leaving any doubt heading into the off-season. Now McNair can operate this deadline from a long-term perspective rather than worrying if he'll still have a job next season

Ya gotta have more faith in life, my friend...It's way too damn short...

 

[macadocious]

Refresh my memory. What was the bet and between whom?

 

[cwebb2002]

I think having the stability of GM and his coach now on the same timeline and establishing the stability may improve the ability to restain not only Domas, but also Harrison (who i continue to maintain is the 3rd most important player on this team and theold man stabilizer). I know that multiple players have said they rely on his leadership and advice off the court, none more so the his fellow iowa nativ le and our rook Keegan.

Is the league source Woj?

Did y'all see he was driving the youtube tv troubleshooting yesterday for the blackout game on twitter?lol

Jamal and a certain energy vampire who I don't think even goes to this school any more had a wager that we were assured would be paid out this time for reals that Monte would be canned by the trade deadline or all star break. I don't remember which one and I don't think it matters because we've all seen this movie before.

Well, for what it's all worth at this point, they last reported for duty on 1/8/23...

I haven't been this happy as a Kings fan since 2004 when we were somehow rolling before Webber returned and the chemistry went downhill lol. This is AWESOME! Props to our owner Vivek who rightfully got a lot of criticism and actually listened rather than doubling down on stupid moves and being stubborn just for the sake of doing so. I'm gonna give him props for not only saving our team once, but, apparently twice, just for the simple fact that he's moved out of the way and let this staff cook.

LIGHT. THE. BEAM.
