Sacramento: So, the Kings have let go of Mike Brown midway through his third season. It’s been a rough ride with a 13-18 record and five losses in a row. Fans were hoping for better, especially with De’Aaron Fox’s trade rumors swirling around.
Now, the big question is, who’s next? They might not have a permanent coach until next summer, but there are four names that are getting a lot of buzz.
First up is Doug Christie. He’s a former player who’s been with the Kings for years as an assistant coach. He’s stepping in as the interim head coach. With over half a season to show what he can do, he might just win the job for good if he can turn things around.
Then there’s Micah Nori, who’s been the lead assistant for the Timberwolves. He’s familiar with the Kings from his time there and has been in the running for head coaching gigs before. It could be a smart move for the Kings to chat with him.
Sam Cassell is another name on the list. He’s well-liked by players and has been recognized as one of the best assistants in the league. He’s interviewed for several head coaching positions but hasn’t landed one yet. It’s about time he gets a shot.
Lastly, we have David Adelman. He’s currently an assistant with the Nuggets and has a solid reputation. His father was a legendary coach for the Kings, so there’s a nice connection there. He’s definitely someone to keep an eye on.
