Never have I been so relieved to see the Kings do the bare minimum of not being dysfunctional.

 

[iowamcnabb]

Yessss!!!!!

 

[steelevt]

So is there a button that isn’t quite “like” but more “relieved cuz the other option kinda sucks but wish there was a better choice”? If not can the mods work on that

Can’t wait until we start blaming him because we’re still terrible. Nothing’s changing.

 

[iowamcnabb]

This is a win for a lot of different reasons but the biggest might be Vivek appears to be letting Monte do his job. Now ink that extension

Dude literally made up a whole weirdass narrative and is now acting like the Kings are somehow the team that was wrong about how things were playing out behind the scenes.

So do we want the warriors to win it all so our new coach has more finals experience

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Now we need to find the next Lebron and we are good. Finals here we come!

Nah

 

[KainLear]

Bronny is like, what, a year or two away?

Warriors Twitter is upset about losing Mike Brown which is pretty much the exact opposite of the time we made Keith Smart our new coach.

 

[SLAB]

Whoa SLAB in a good mood today

I’m being generous on that last half season after Domas bails.

 

[iowamcnabb]

How about Kenny Atkinson as lead assistant?

Plus we will get lebron if we draft him. So the next lebron and the original lebron under Mike brown, championship here we come.

Basketball hell is a defense led by Davion Mitchell and coached by Mike Brown. Let’s do this!!!

The first thing that came to mind when the Kings fired Luke was I really hope they go after Mike Brown!! I’m so happy, I’m about to go buy season tickets!!

 

[iowamcnabb]

Sounds like the decision was made and they were “negotiating over the weekend”. I wonder if Sam was wrong about non one being offered the job. Maybe not technically as the details were being worked out but he implied a decision had not been made.

So what kind of style can we expect this coach to run?

 

[kb02]

From Woj: “Brown comes to the Kings with a clear organizational mandate: End the longest playoff drought in the NBA and return the Kings to the postseason for the first time in 16 years”

https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id...tate-warriors-assistant-mike-brown-head-coach

Im sure the mandate is for the playoff drought to end by year 4 of Brown’s contract, right?

Maybe you can go halvsies with Slab. You can go to half the games and wave a “bring Fox off the bench” sign and Slab can attend the other games in a Mark Jackson jersey while waving a “shoulda let it burn” sign.

 

[macadocious]

This decision cost me in the range of $6,000 a year!

Play Lebron or Steph 40 mins each night.

what a huckster.

I am glad our FO situation has matured to the Monte and Wilcox show. I think they are hitting about 80% thus far, and while Brown may not be as exciting as some of the blank slates, I do like him over the final 3 and I was also firmly against D'Antoni, so assuming there was some degree of compromise in taking a proven guy, he's the best of the lot. Youngest too. And I think he is hungry and has as much to prove as any of the first timers would be - namely that he can win without LeBron.
