Sacramento Kings GM Monte McNair has agreed on a contract extension.

[QWERTYLICIOUS]

I haven't been this happy as a Kings fan since 2004 when we were somehow rolling before Webber returned and the chemistry went downhill lol. This is AWESOME! Props to our owner Vivek who rightfully got a lot of criticism and actually listened rather than doubling down on stupid moves and being stubborn just for the sake of doing so. I'm gonna give him props for not only saving our team once, but, apparently twice, just for the simple fact that he's moved out of the way and let this staff cook.

LIGHT. THE. BEAM.

I haven't been this happy as a Kings fan since the night of May 28, 2002

Is it too early to start talking about dynasty?

Yes. Let's first win one. As a franchise, we have no space in which we can talk "dynasty" until we win one. Maybe even two...

In a row...

Followed by a third...

Then, and ONLY then, may we EVER talk "dynasty".

I was expecting it to be for a little longer (like 5 years), but I can understand, and get behind, the logic of only extending Monte for 3 years. Go to the playoffs 3 straight years, with gradual progression each year, and earn yourself another extension, and nice contract.

Anything short? Reevaluate and adjust the terms of the contract/extension accordingly.

Personally, I am perfectly fine with 3 years. Based on what I've seen so far, I fully expect Monte to "play" his way into another extension in about 3 years from now.

Puts him on the exact timeline as Brown which is all anybody has been asking for.

Makes sense.

Ya gotta have more faith in life, my friend...It's way too damn short...

well, the last time the Kings were good, my son, who is a senior in High School….:checksnotes:….wasn’t born.

 

[PorchSurfin]

Jamal and a certain energy vampire who I don't think even goes to this school any more had a wager that we were assured would be paid out this time for reals  that Monte would be canned by the trade deadline or all star break. I don't remember which one and I don't think it matters because we've all seen this movie before.

Energy vampire lmao

Same here!! My son is a senior also. Weird.

May this be the start of another 8 + year playoff appearance and DEEP playoff runs to the promise land. We get to that point, and we'll never ever have to think about who we passed on in any previous drafts. I certainly wont give a damn about that

May this be the start of a (multiple) championship run. We get to that point, and anything else that has happened since 1985 won't mean a damn thing.

Well, for what it's all worth at this point, they last reported for duty on 1/8/23...

That makes sense since he was probably sworn into congress on the 7th.

Alright, keep the cajones Monte and get this team a ring. For all the down years.

 

[White_Chocolate]

LETS EFFIN GO!!!

Monte is a stud. The Michael Jordan of middle managers even!

Haha

 

[Tetsujin]

Kb02 right now

 

[Padrino]

And here's my regular reminder that Monte McNair did not give up a single first round pick to acquire Domantas Sabonis, undisputed team leader and straw-that-stirs-the-proverbial-drink, a double-double monster and nightly triple-double threat, likely All-Star and All-NBA selection, and unlikely party crasher to the fringes of the 2023 NBA MVP discussion. Well done, Monte, and keep building this thing.

More like this one really.

I can’t help but think my post in the Grizzlies game thread last night led to this. #638

 

[dude12]

Awesome news.

We finally found our new Petrie and Adelman in Monte and Mike Brown

Hopefully even better than those two greats.

It’s not that weird, they are probably the same age.

 

[NewArena]

Really sad that some "fans" disappear when the team does well because they'd rather be right. I will never understand

I *was* a senior in high school last time.

I wasnt old enough to drink quite yet. I still have my ticket to the last playoff win in our history. How sad is this? Also the song at the top of the charts was bad day by daniel powder

And...

@wojespn

Kings are working to finalize a new deal with assistant GM Wes Wilcox too, source said. McNair and Wilcox have worked closely together in reshaping the organization into a Western Conference contender.

Let’s not forget to give Wes some love, who I strongly suspect was instrumental in keeping the Hawks engaged with us in trade talks all last year culminating in a masterful fleecing for one of the final and biggest pieces of our puzzle

Naw, weird that my wife and I were Having this conversation a couple nights ago, about how the last time the Kings were any good she was pregnant with our 1st born. Good times!

 

[hrdboild]

Well deserved! From complete dumpster fire to the toast of the league in 2 1/2 seasons is seriously impressive! I hope Monte takes some of that money and gets Coach Brown something nice.
