The way the other teams playing the Kings in the Bubble called out their sets and were prepared only highlighted how ill prepared the Kings were. The Kings poor showing in those Bubble games are what led to Vlade leaving and McNair coming in.
Can someone please explain to me one logical reason for Walton to still be the Coach? Is it purely a cost savings decision? Does Vivek and company feel Walton deserves another chance? Is McNair taking a slower approach so the other Coaches in the league don't go too negative about him and steer clear of the inevitable Kings Coach opening? Was Walton being forced to play Buddy as a ball handler?

I'll say this, one reason they might want to hang onto Walton is that they don't want to add on to the legacy Vivek has created where they are seen as coach disposers. Well, I hate to tell Vivek this but that legacy is already pretty much carved in stone at this point. Walton could change it up and show a willingness to adapt and that's truthfully the only hope at this point. I still point to history and odds. The odds of a handpicked coach lasting after the person that hand picked him is ousted in this fashion is not only a long shot but borderline delusional from a management standpoint. It reeks of wait and see. Vivek is out of touch if he doesn't see the steam rising and waiting will only make it thicker and harder to get through.
