When Do We Blow It Up?

Unfortunately, the longer this toxic mess lasts, the less value you're likely to get for Fox or anyone else. I doubt that Time is a friend for GM having to make these decisions.
Stiles on 1140 is going nuts about the Fox-McNair-Brown dynamic. Fox is doing his best to hide in the corner and say he had nothing to do with the Brown firing. Already the attention is focused on the players and their culpability in the losing and the Brown firing. Fox is giving his best "don't look at me" routine like he had nothing to do with it.
Stiles thinks that McNair crammed this roster down Brown's throat and that McNair needed a fall guy for the losing. It just had to be Brown that caused it, not his own personnel decisions.

Given the pool of reporters asking the questions, what makes you think that this would actually accomplish anything? Any info that is actually useful to the discussion is already coming out via Amick/Shelbourne aka people who are actually good at their jobs.
Dude’s just mad that the Kings didn’t leak the firing to him first so he could get the clout.

If I’m wrong let me know, but don’t teams usually have a press conference to announce their intern/new coach? Just something simple to announce we are behind our guy and we are trying to right this ship.
ham went on to bring up the maloof and how they bailed on the team and hid before they sold the team, effectively leaving the coaches and team to take questions from the press after games.

They've made it clear that they all hate Vivek and Monte. I can sorta get questioning Monte's moves but I don't know what Vivek has done since hiring Monte that makes them so mad.
Up until about 72 hours ago it was cheap, but firing the guy you just got strong armed into extending (by the same people who were critical of the hire) sorta puts that to rest for now.
also I keep hearing about him not breaking the bank to go over the luxury line but we sorta did this DDR thing that caps us at the apron so I think we're screwed on that front right now.

I’m not team ham either, I just don’t get the hate for
the guy. He seems so vanilla and non threatening to me. This team is so lucky to have the press corps that they have here in sac. If ham rubs people wrong here man, how would you guys handle the absolute crap storm that is the Chicago, NY, Boston, and even Atlanta press corps? The press here and in the Bay Area pulls no punches!

The fact that they put Christie in charge tells me what the FO is thinking. They're thinking tank and hopefully get a high pick in a loaded draft. Not sure I agree with this but appears to be where it's headed. If somehow DC rights the ship and they start winning well they'll take that as well. I don't like interim head coaching jobs it's like you can have the job for now but, we have no confidence in you.
It seems like the draft is shaping up to be pretty top heavy as in a 4 or 5 player draft and then a lot of question marks after that that. It would be tough to get into the top 5 without a friendly ping pong ball.
Allegedly Doug was Viveks pick for coach when Brown was hired so it looks like he is going to get his shot

Hot take. There is no rebuild as long as Vivek owns this team now. They have royally f’d everything up. Who wants to play in Sac now? Who wants to be coach or GM now? Nobody.
Thank you Vivek for saving the franchise, but this just ain’t your game. You’re not good at it. Move on and give these ever-loving Kings fans a break.
Maybe, just maybe something can be done with the right trades and a retool, if that brings immediate success. But if not, there’s no way this ownership rebuilds again.

I’m not a Ham fan, but I do think the organization owes it to the fans to go through the motions to explain the position to the fans. Probably won’t learn anything all that meaningful, but they could at least take some heat off of the players and coaching staff to clarify things.
I‘m of the general sentiment that brown needed to be let go. It’s not necessarily fair but you can’t make good trades at the drop of the hat and you can’t fire your GM midyear. With that said, I have some serious concerns with Monte right now. Unless he pulls a rabbit out of his hat, he’s basically dead man walking until the offseason. I think he is an honest standup guy, but he has no motivation to look out for the future best interests of this team. I do not want him sacrificing multiple future assets looking for a Hail Mary trade for us to sneak into the playin.

Yeah that's fair. Even though it's going to be:
"We felt this was the right time to move on after our disappointing start to the year. We're excited about what Coach Christie can bring and the direction he can take our team. We thank Brown for everything he's done to turn around this franchise and wish him the best going forward."
