Start scanning podcasts. Seems like that's the main requirement on most office hirings right now.

BJ Armstrong has been an agent for the last two decades so he’s probably got a firm understanding of salary numbers. Perry has also been in the league long enough to know how things work.
This isn’t quite a Vlade situation where we’re getting a guy coming in cold with absolutely no idea how the league works.

I was thinking along the same lines as Tetsu...I don't think this is gonna be a "one person does it all" task...I think both Perry and Armstrong will work together in this department.

Yeah Indiana was a bit of a mess. Doesn’t mean he won’t be a good assistant but …

let's not forget here that Mike Brown was holding players accountable too and players eventually turned sour on him because of it, need to have the right type of players with the mindset of never ending growth and constructive criticism to change and keep a culture in place long term
We don't have a huge pool of franchise success to pull from, so I take it as a positive that there are a few former players out there who still consider Sacramento not just a box to check in their careers, or even worse an ordeal to endure, but a home that they'd like to return to in their continuing basketball careers. I'm happy to have Bobby Jackson back home.

The entire 2003-2004 Kings rotation aside from CWebb and Anthony Peeler is going to be living in Sacramento next season if Songaila is also joining the coaching staff as reported
This is apparently that entire team’s happy place haha

Yeah, as much as I'm skeptical that Perry is really just a Vivek puppet, he's at least a long-time NBA exec that knows how things work. Absolutely not a Vlade nepo hire
Yeah, Bobby is a great case of
1. Love seeing a Kings legend back
2. And is an actual good coach that's more than paid his dues.

Vivek does pay his guys so that's certainly a nice incentive to come back to

Those Kings might not have a championship but they displayed a positive brotherhood on and off the floor. You can't deny the heart and chemistry even after all these years. I loved the old guys showing up for the recent play-in game against the Mavs. Too bad the current team didn't show up on the floor.
Christie and Bobby were both known as gritty give it their all type players. That’s great. Their roster is full of guys who quit on Mike Brown because he practiced them too hard and then complained that Christie didn’t practice enough. Need to eliminate those guys(Domas) so that the roster matches their personalities.

Um, Domas is pretty much known as gritty give it their all type player throughout his career.
I don’t think it ever came out what exactly happened did it? I think I heard Domas lives in Napa so when the team had a stretch of home games he wanted to spend more time with his young kids, but Mike Brown pretty much wanted to practice daily or any chance the team had. I get where MB is coming from, but also as a father I get where Domas is coming from. And unless we get it confirmed we’re on the outside and don’t have all the facts of exactly what happened.
Got his head coach fired it appears.
Can only go on what we know at this point.
Which isn’t much at this point? We’ve heard little bits of hearsay which may or may not be true.
Whole lot of reaching there on "What we know"
The Domas slander continues to be astounding.
What slander?

No one gives a damn about Sabonis in the FO or ownership group. It's way above his pay grade. The lazy media first blamed Fox for the firing and then pivoted to Domas.

Bobby coached my daughters team one time and the other team coach didn’t know who he was and asked him”what do you know about basketball” lol
