Hey!!!!!! Not bad, Tinker!

 

[macadocious]

Tim Connely had a vote LOL

Easy call! You get the Kings out of the 16 year drought, you get Exec of the year. Them the rules

 

[iowamcnabb]

I’m a little surprise Rob Lowe didn’t have a few more votes

Pour one out for kb02 as well. There's been a lot of bad takes on the internet, but betting the guy who eventually wins the exec of the year would be fired that same season.... oof

 

[mrlaze]

Probably because all the other GMs were bad. Not really because Monty is good /endsarcasm

Can't wait for Season 2 of Revenge of the Basketball Nerds!

Patting myself on the back for all those "stay patient" posts I made back when he was barely into year two and people were already calling for his head.

Give 'em hell this offseason Tinker!!!

Is this the award for the bestest Middle Manager in the NBA?

Great job Monte! Now let’s take it to the next level!!!

Apparently they give out exec of the year awards for middle managers who do the bare minimum to create a treadmilling team. . .

Congrats to Monte. Lots of work to do and some big decisions to make this summer, but I think this can be the beginning of the Kings as a playoff fixture. That's a HUGE accomplishment.

 

[Kingster]

He deserves it. He has the brains and the guts for the job.

 

[reptilexcq2]

Monte deserved it...when he traded Haliburton for Sabonis...nobody seem to like it. Now, they see him as a genius. Well deserved. I hope he sign Naz Reid in the summer though.

I liked it very much to hear that Murray is going to be working out with Sabonis in Napa in the off-season.

Congrats Monte! There's been a lot of love for the Kings already with the season awards -- I hope the All-NBA teams follow suit. Also... Coach Brown was right in his end of the year press conference. We're not sneaking up on anyone next year.

arent NBA teams not allowed to have potential draft prospects around for non-official visits?

So 4 of our 5 starters. Plus a valued member of the rotation off the bench. Plus a draft candidate.

Pretty cool.

Would have liked to see MM, Off Night and Huerter there too, but still impressive.

WRT to Monte McNair -- this was another well-deserved award.

Now step it up even more.

 

[King Baller]

Congrats to Monte McNair for a job well done!!!!!

Wait a sec...

Who the heck is Monet McNair? Is he supposed to be Monte's evil twin brother that nobody really knows about (yet, at least...)???

I would assume no staff could/would be present.

I wonder how the NBA views twin brothers vs. hiring your FA targets daddy?

 

[SacTownKid]

Keep going Monte, you got this.

The only one allowed to be there was someone from the media to leak it. Stay away teams Kris is ours, lol.
