Corbin already signed for remainder of year?
- Thread starter VF21
- Start date
deep breaths. deep breaths. this seems very normal to me. you get Corbin to take the interim role by signing him thru the rest of the year. They will just pay him out the year as "severance" when they get the real coach.
this doesn't change anything at all. you figure Corbin would just pick up "other duties as assigned" without a little sugar added to the deal?

Yeah cause if you were also an A's fan, instead of a World Series Championship you'd have one of the worst second half collapses in history, a memorable 12 inning crapfest of a Wild Card game loss, and 5 All Stars traded in the last 6 months. Oh yeah and there's also the constant threat of losing the team and an owner who hates the city his team plays in. Kings/Niners/A's -- tell me again why I care about sports. 
Oh god only knows who Mullin and PDA may have in mind and like the rest of us I have no idea if minds are changing upstairs either, but I HOPE a little time and pressure might translate into a thoughtful process of selection. My original suspicion was simply based on trying to make sense of the early firing of a successful coach with no clear replacement in the wings.
Problem with it being a new contract is he's no longer an interim coach. Why is that important? Because to hire Karl or someone else before the season is over would require firing Corbin.
I don't see it being likely that we'll see two head coaches fired with a couple months of each other. Also doesn't look like Karl is an option. If we were in serious dialogue with him, why would we sign Corbin to a new contract?

Karl was never and will never be an option for PDA/Vivek. He would not be the puppet that Vivek and PDA want, hes got 21 winning seasons under his belt he wouldn't put up with any of there data point 3.0 fast pace non sense, heck they would have a better shot at getting Malone to comply.
For anyone paying attention to the signs the message is clear, its looking like a Corbin-Mullin transition.

how long before cuz demands a trade is going to be interesting. they have 2 seasons to convince him to stay before he can opt out. if shi- keeps moving at this pace he'll probably demand it soon. if all goes well, we'll get a gigantic trade exception and maybe some second round picks. this is based off previous talent bleeds.
If it comes down to a choice between Cousins and PDA, there's only one answer. And luckily for us, it's not PDA. The NBA is a business. Some very wealthy people invested a TON of money into the Sacramento Kings and they expect a return on their investment, especially with the new arena on the horizon.
Cousins puts butts in the seats, PDA does not. It actually can boil down to being that simple, especially when you consider that Vivek is not the sole owner. Guys like the Jacobs Brothers are not going to be happy if things get so bad that the only cash cow this franchise has seen in over a decade gets to the point of wanting to leave.
