Fire Christie

Nah. More likely Thibs
One can only dream. No matter how close he's with Perry, Thibs is not going to get tied up with this Kings roster that doesn't have any star level talent. He's well established and can wait for the right opportunity. It's more likely that a retread or long time assistant would get the nod.

Is Thibs considered a retread yet?
 
I really hope this isn’t true. He has shown nothing as a head coach.

I get the roster sucks, but he also gets outcoached basically every game.

No adjustments most of the time, or when he does they are often too late. I’m convinced that he could stay in the locker room most games and you wouldn’t even notice a difference in the product on the court.

It's just GM speak, I expect. Doug Christie is a Vivek guy, not a Perry guy. So despite the fact that he doesn't like labeling it a rebuild, Perry's going to get to work rebuilding the roster while the Kings lose enough games to keep their lottery chances high this season and next. I'd guess they don't pick up Christie's option after next season, though, once Perry has had enough time to lay the groundwork with Vivek to hire a new head coach, trotting out more GM speak about appreciating Christie's service as a Sacramento Kings legend, but so-and-so is now the coach we need to move into the future, etc.
