Annnnnnd there we go.

This was absolutely blown out of proportion and was going to get done.

Whole thing was weird, said it from the jump. https://t.co/aoCp66FeXN

And there we go. Right at the same 10M/yr mark as Mike Budenholzer and Doc Rivers.

Happy for Mike and well deserved. https://t.co/5ZKDVYq4Jw

Phew.

 

[OffTheWallJamal]

Good that this is done.

Now Monte do your magic with the roster.

 

[pdxKingsFan]

3/30. so obvious. don't like how this went through twitter.

 

[SLAB]

Perfect. Able to continue the relationship at an even higher price going forward if he’s as good as we want/hope, but not too long to be handcuffed or have to wait to pivot off if everything either further stagnates or goes south.

3 years was always my main end point. I’m happy with it.

 

[NewArena]

In Monte i trust! Draft night and beyond certainly wont be boring around here lol

 

[Tetsujin]

Mike Brown becomes the first Kings coach since Rick Adelman to earn a contract extension in Sacramento.

Very very strange, but, since this front office has been very good as far as leaks go, i wont put the blame on them.

 

[dude12]

Good, very good.

Well that's the thing. I'm pretty sure it was Brown and his agent. Hopefully moreso the agent, but it doesn't exactly thrill me ... especially when you consider Brown has guys sign the All for One thing and the know your role thing. But he deserves it, glad it's done, hopefully Monk is next.

God I hope not. I need wheeling dealing Monte. Not sit on my hands Monte of recent oast.

 

[Caccia]

Excellent news!

 

[BenchMob]

Awesome news

 

[iowamcnabb]

3 for 30 is great. Monk knows who is coach and so do any potential mid level or minimum guys. This played out very similarly to the Ty Lue deal. Do they have the same agent?

My biggest contention is that he never should have had to go into next season in what was essentially the last year of his contract after our performance the last 2 years. Last year was a step back in some ways, but we did take a significant leap forward defensively. Now just about putting all those pieces together.

3 more years gives him plenty of chances to see if we turn this into a title contender or not. He's earned that opportunity and this pay-raise. Happy for all sides.

Conflicting contract values?

I haven’t read the article yet but the Athletic mentions that there are incentives in there to get to 10 mil per

 

[coolhandluke]

Great news! Looks like $8.5M per year as base salary that goes up to $10M per year based on incentives. I think it's a fair deal for both sides.

 

[DynaPamm]

Ok will someone please explain how $8.5mil@3 years equals 30 million??? I knew they wouldn’t let Coach go but things are not adding up for me

I believe that's the guaranteed amount with an additional $1.5 million per year available in performance incentives. We don't know yet what those incentives are but the most likely guesses are either win totals or reaching a certain level of the playoffs.
