They have a roster construction problem, not coaching

DeRozan is a horrendous fit

This probably means they aren’t trading him.

Kings went with a scapegoat, sad to see. Roster fail in the off-season plus Mike getting punished for over-achieving to start.

What exactly did they expect? They rushed their rebuild by trading for the mediocre Sabonis. Fox and Sabonis will not lead your team anywhere

Seems like a couple of coaches have been fired after losing/almost losing to the Pistons.

Sure it’s a coincidence.

Have all time offensive output.

Hire a defensive coach to better defense.

Sign only offensive players.

Defense still sh*t.

Fire coach.

Their off-season stunk and Mike Brown is paying the price.

history has shown there's been many teams unexpectedly win like 45-50 games one year and then drop off immediately the following season. kings were just another one. first move is to always fire the coach.

Sure its his fault that team went after players profile they didnt need simply because hes not spacing floor and making things worse from spacing angle

Really ridiculous to be honest. I told everyone before the season the Demar move was a mistake and the Kings were missing the playoffs. It's crazy to blame this on Brown, it was easy to see coming.

There isn’t a coach who could make this roster do well. It’s just a ridiculously poorly put together roster. Sucks for Brown but I’m sure he’ll get another opportunity soon.

I don't pay much attention to Sac games but was Mike Brown really the issue?

They shot themselves in the foot thinking Derozan was going to be enough of a difference maker on offense to justify his defensive shortcomings. Between that, very little depth next to, and behind, Sabonis, as well as an imbalanced roster with no way to build around either Fox or Sabas without trading one of them, shows that this team is back on the hamster wheel of mediocrity and Play-In region of ball. It's a bummer. This team was so fun to watch during their playoff run a couple years ago.
