[Game] 31/82: Kings vs. Pistons 26 DEC 2024, 7pm PT/10pm ET

I think this is it. Would honestly be more surprised if we don't see some sort of news tomorrow with Brown, Monte, someone.

Amick said this morning that so far there is no smoke to the Monte/Brown firing deal. It’s viewed as a player issue. Losses like this could flip things though

This the 3rd game in the last 6 that the Kings have had a 10 point lead with less than 3 minutes to go. 2 of those losses and one win by 2 points.

Beyond heartbreaking. It would feel worse if i allowed myself to care more than i do lol for my own mental health, i just can’t.

Uh oh. We know who the resident ball walker and roller is. Sounds like a shot

That guy he’s talking about has ****ed up multiple games on the fourth with the same crap he’s talking about

 

[Makaveli]

We have had 2 stars since Chris Webber. Demarcus Cousins and dearron Fox. Neither time have we been able to get a team around them that worked and as it turns out we will lose Fox just like cousins. It’s done deal.

Hey Mike, maybe you don't let them shoot at all huh? ****ing sad.

Looks like the dude wants to get fired. smh

It was, and he's not wrong TBH, but this is close to a wrap on the Mike Brown era if the Kings history is any indication. This is all stuff we've seen and heard so many times before. He's pulled out those "get 'em inspired" cards too many times already. If something did happen with Brown a lot of the Cavs fans pretty much hit that nail on the head on what to watch out for.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Brown trying to lay it all on Fox. Yeah a trade will be asked for now or Mike brown will be gone.

Probably the dumbest foul in the closing seconds, we've ever seen by a King's player. A 4 point play, when you're up by 3

Brown has gotten a lot more pointed with his post game pot shots. Obviously there is plenty of blame to go around but I can’t imagine it’s all peaches and cream with Fox and Brown right now, regardless of how much Daaron says he wants to be coached hard.

I love Fox. He is Sacramento through and through. And that is absolutely a backhanded compliment.

we aren’t trading Fox for a Buddy and one pick package.

 

[The_Jamal]

Whole lot of nothing from Fox in the presser. Guy does not want to be there (who would?) and just giving non-answers to everything.

Man i agree so much with Mike. I'm litteraly watching him say push the ball, fox ignores him, let's clock go all the way down then shoots the ball. 3 times in a row. Sick

Oh, really. I thought Mike Brown was at the game.

I love the culture Brown set for this team two years ago and I like the idea of stability, but at this point I can’t keep watching games like this and think brown isn’t part of the problem. I absolutely do not think firing the coach will then result in us turning around the season, but I just don’t think he’s as good of a coach now than he was when he first got here. Way too many things he does that has me shaking my head.

 

[TheMobb]

Well, at least Brown just called out Fox for the stupid play and foul to lose the game

Fox is a hell of a player, scorer and 1 on 1 defender. But put in the position where he has to make a quick read and react play he just doesnt have it, and that applies to both ends. That’s what limits his ceiling to a fringe all star caliber player from being up there with the SGAs and Lukas.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

Two recent high lotto picks and 3 picks and 4 swaps is the minimum they should take.

This is utter bull crap and false if Boogie had half the talent they gave Fox we’d be in the sixth seed

What do you mean who would? This is a basketball city, he has a family, sac is litteraly perfect for him if he would step up to the plate. He's already rich. He wants max money without max responsibility

If Fox ended up gone it was a miracle they even built a playoff team on that timeline Monte had. The Kings screwed Fox around from day 1. Pushing him next to other PG's, bringing in veterans like Zbo to take shots when Fox was still the most talented player on the team from day 1, etc. Monte pushed all of his chips around him, which most times that player would have been gone already.

yeh I don’t really have a strong opinion on it. It’s super messy that’s for sure

Real interesting. Wonder if that means Vivek will let Monte/Brown go through a rebuild. I cannot imagine he lets this thing go much further out of hand without something changing.

And little ancillary deals like trading Huerter or Lyles won't make a difference.

 

[Makaveli]

I didn’t say what we would trade him for. Just saying he is gone if brown isn’t

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

Any sort of leader or decent team player would say that they made a stupid foul and take accountability for losing the game. Will Fox do that?

 

[The_Jamal]

At the presser. Not Sacramento, lol. Why would you think I meant he doesn't want to be in Sacramento in that context?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

we aren’t trading Fox for a Buddy and one pick package.

Sure, you say that now...

 

[Rob-The-Great]

You guys don't think that Fox is worth keeping, but you think that Atlanta is going to trade you their franchise player and a pick to get him?

You act like fox isn't our franchise player, or that fox isn't statically better. It can definitely be made

 

[SacTownKid]

Maybe. The league going all offense has closed the talent gap by pushing lesser talents beyond former role players so it depends on the era maybe.

 

[ShastaKingsFan]

.....and the answer is, nope

 

[PorchSurfin]

Absolutely not for Trae Young c'mon now.

Trae Young would fit this team so much better than Fox.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Sure, you say that now...

If we trade Fox for that kinda package I’ll eat my shoe and I won’t even wash it off first.
