I noticed his teammates aren'tbdefending, and leaving Gobert to not only defend his own man, but his teammates guy too. The game changes in the playoffs but his team mates don't seem to grasp that. Mitchell underperformed but the media wants to focus on Gobert.

Well deserved!
He's not going to accept the sixth man role longterm but he did an outstanding job.

And to see Clarkson ahead of Bogi is the joke of this ranking. I take Bogi any day in my roster instead of Clarkson

I'd make a low bid to bring in Ben Simmons while he's technically still injured.

Proposed Trade: John Collins and the expiring contract of Danilo Gallinari for Ben Simmons straight up.

This feels like a really good hire by Sacramento. I predict he'll have them in the play-in games within 3 years.

A man who allegedly killed former Orlando Magic player Adreian Payne told deputies during his arrest that he was intimidated by Payne’s size.

I expect Mike Brown to be fired after two seasons. The guaranteed money is why these guys pursue the jobs they do. Stan Van Gundy signing with New Orleans is a perfect example. At 62 years old, he basically ran himself out, benching Zion during the forth period, and Stan receives his full contract.

Wow!!!

We're really far apart on this one. Mike Brown has been desperate to get back into the league after his disastrous tenure in LA. (I don't even remember his second stint in Cleveland.)

But at age 52, he has a lot left in the tank. I'm curious to see how he does in Sac-town.

I basically see him as a very good defensive assistant, but as an head coach, unable to make adjustments in playoffs, but certainly a better player management than a guy like Thibodeau.
He may have progressed on his negative points, something Thibodeau won't

I wish Coach Brown well but I don't think he has success. It won't be 100% his fault because Sacramento is ran poorly.

Coach Brown will do his best I suppose but I don't believe he last the duration of the contract.

As for Stan Van Gundy, it was a no brainer for him to sign with New Orleans, and only last eight months. He was paid $5m and was owed another $15.2 or so million...lol I believe he knew damn well what he was doing. Now, he's back with TNT where he makes six figures. He secured the bag as a Coach which was wise.

This is a brutal end to the season for Danny Green...in every way possible.

It might also the be the end of a surprisingly long career.

I think their team goal is to be respected organization and get to playoffs... Not win it all... So brown is a stable choice

Supremely talented. But unmotivated and immature.
