Kings Have Yet To Approach Mike Brown With Extension Offer

Post #1 » by **RealGM Wiretap** » Mon Apr 22, 2024 3:46 pm

Mike Brown would like a long-term contract extension at his market rate with the Sacramento Kings this offseason, sources tell The Athletic.

Brown signed a four-year contract with the Kings in 2022, but Year 4 is a mutual option, which makes the 24-25 season his last guaranteed season.

In the time since Brown signed his contract, the coaching market has been reset by deals signed by Steve Kerr ($17.5 million annually), Gregg Popovich ($16 million), Erik Spoeltra ($15 million) and Monty Williams ($13 million). Brown won't command a salary in that range, but it could approach $10 million per season.

Sources tell The Athletic there's been a wait-and-see approach from ownership on Brown. Vivek Ranadive has not yet approached Brown with an extension offer.

Brown will definitely return for next season, sources add, but the extension conversation could complicate the partnership.

All the Kings have to do is pick up his fourth year option and then decide next offseason whether to give him an extension or not.

Vivek is a loose cannon!

It is a mutual option, so if Brown wants to opt out early to test the market, then it's not as easy as you make it out to be.

Vivek is an idiot. If Brown optsout, he will have options and the Kings will return to 15 years no playoffs

He’s done an above average job there imo. I don’t know they’re going to improve that roster though

Then this article is pointless. They’re making Vivek seem like the bad guy. If Brown wants out, then report that.

If Kings did want to make a change they've lost the chance to promote Jordi Fernandez
