The Slightly-Too-Early Offseason Coaching Thoughts Thread

Anyone would be better than Gentry. Even Luke Walton.

After reading this post, I just could not resist posting a response. To sum this post up in one word "Lame."

"Make your own blueprint."
"Denver hasn’t won jack anyway."
"The KINGS need to find their own way and not resort to trying to duplicate others."

The Kings have had no success following their own way over the last 16 years. Other teams have proven and successful strategies. Why not implement one of these successful strategies.

“Lame” yet you follow up with this? Unreal.

What you’ve written here is so flawed and ridiculous I’m not going to bother explaining it to you, other than to say that the KINGS built a winner earlier this millennium doing things their own way and not following anyone else’s blueprint or style after decades of futility.

But apparently you missed that era, “Greatest Show on Court”?

That history and success after decades of futility defeats everything you said here.

One-dimensional thinking is apparently all you got. More power to you. Have fun with it.

Yes, and no.
I do agree that a high post half-court offense similar to what Denver employs would be a good blueprint for this team. It's almost like Malone finally got the right pieces in Sacramento...too bad he's in Denver celebrating win #300. If you squint, you can see it. We're just a Michael Porter Jr. away.

That said, I think that offense relies too much on Jokic, who is currently all-worldly. Sabonis can have a similar impact, but I wouldn't want to slow things down as much, and I would rather give the ball a little more to Fox in transition to get things rolling downhill when the moments strike.

Denver is a competitive team, and if Murray comes back in good health, why can't they win it? That's what we want in Sacramento; a "why not us?" feeling. I think we're still one impact player and good coach away, but the blueprint is there.

Yup couldn’t agree more. We need a 3rd blue chip talent on this squad to get away from the play-in. If I had to pick, I’d prefer it be another big man that complements Sabonis.

If we found that guy we'd be set for a long time.

I would have to watch some tape before I could answer that question.

I absolutely would have Doug Christie on the short list of final candidates. His people skills, motivational skills and deep understanding of the game would be something to consider. I also think he would demand more and get more out of the players like Joerger yet, not pee them off like Joerger. That is a skill in itself. I just don’t know if he’s the best candidate but his personal strengths are valuable in a head coach.

The other vet candidates out there would also be of interest. I just don’t know what that list is right now

The Kings have needed a defensive minded coach for 20 years. Malone was close.
