Monte has one year left on his contract, year 3. If you extend Monte now to an addiional 2 years for instance, what happens, if we have another 30 win season, or don't make the playoffs, or continue to be between 27th and 30th in defense another year, what would you do then? Would you then...

But while Monte is GM for the past 2 years- the Kings record has sucked.

If he needed a 5 year contract, I'm guessing Vivek wouldn't go that long. If not, why did he not sign a five year contract? Instead, he signed a 3 year contract. The owner and the GM knew the parameters to be 3 years and further evaluate prospects in time. Why did he take the job with only a...

Monte McNair on Luke Walton: ‘He’s the coach who is going to get us back to the playoffs’ March 18th, 2021 Kings Herald “The thing we are definitely all doing is rowing the boat in the same direction,” McNair said. “Now we want to row as fast as we can and as straight as we can. …But we are for...

Vlade should have been fired soon after missing on Luka. It's a tough business.

Fair Analysis. I like James. I sense him to be a real sharp and calm guy. He presents what he has to the public. I imagine it is difficult to re-start your career after being let go. I too remember Kozimor. But Jim was able to re-surface elsewhere after he was let go by the Kings. "From...

Given a determined time frame, it's about the W's. At season end, 18 out of 30 teams now, get to make a run at the playoffs. But we are not a run at the playoffs team yet. Let's say the Kings extend Monte. And just maybe, the Kings have another 30 win season for 22-23. Now what? Do you...

20-21 record of 31-41 21-22 record of 30-52 No, not right now.

Example-"And it looks to me at present, the Kings continue to pay Vlade, Walton, and Gentry...after their services are no longer desired." I'm not hearing the drumbeat here, to fire Monte. However, I'm envisioning a wait and see approach-as Monte's current contract ends in the summer of 2022...

To me- the comparison ladder is not of past GM's for the Kings, but looking to have the best GM in the NBA now.

To quote Bill Parcells: "You are what your record says you are." Team defensive rating at nba.com 20-21 30th place out of the 30 teams. 21-22 27th place. I see that Mitch Kupchak also was closing in on the end of his contract this summer and was extended last week. I think the Kings...

20-21 31 wins 31-22 30 wins. At this point, I do not want to extend Monte. He's has another year on his contract. He does not deserve an extension.....yet. Win more games, make playoffs. Afterall, all the current excitement, is because the ping pong balls dropped the Kings from 7 to 4...

Excellent thoughtful analysis again by Mr. Funky Kingston. I alway look to see his posts. To add, if that future STAR (I will be interested to see how Shaedon Sharpe's career plays out) is not there, then what would be so bad with Detroits's or Portland's pick, instead of our 4th pick, if it...

I know him. James Ham is a good man. James was analytical and provided some insight. He gets what he gets....and reports accordingly. He's trying to make a living and hopefully, build something? Are not we all trying to do the same? Why no respect for this working man?

Kindly sir, you could not really believe.... "Better hope this is Monte for some reason hiring him and Gentry only answering to Monte."

Mullin was joking dude. If Vlade would have picked Luka, we would not be playoff less. And that is not on Mullin.

"Bury" I disagree. They do not play because their not very good; thus this is a McNair problem. Or do you belief GM's, Coaches and owners, would rather not play better players?

After reading this post, I just could not resist posting a response. To sum this post up in one word "Lame." "Make your own blueprint." "Denver hasn’t won jack anyway." "The KINGS need to find their own way and not resort to trying to duplicate others." The Kings have had no success...

For what I understand, Dave Joerger, after finding out he was likely to be fired the next day (Vlade was interested in Luke Walton-who was also about to be fired by the Lakers), lost the last game of the season vs. Portland. As a result, we had only 39 wins for the season.
