Although the negotiations were difficult, Mike Brown got what he wanted three weeks ago. That is to say an increase in his contract, with 10 million dollars per year (bonuses included), and an extension which allows him to be at the head of the Kings until 2027. All this was welcomed with satisfaction by De'Aaron Fox.
“We are talking about stability. It's not to be confused with stagnating, but it's good to have a kind of core and a coach.”, rejoices the playmaker. “Everything can change in the blink of an eye in the league, since Monty Williams just got fired. We never know. So having stability to move forward is very good. We can build from that. »
It should be remembered that De'Aaron Fox has had four coaches in seven seasons with Sacramento. He started under Dave Joerger, for two years, before two more seasons alongside Luke Walton. The latter leaves for the 2021/22 financial year, but he is fired and replaced by Alvin Gentry.
The importance of stability
Finally, in 2022, a good pick from the leaders who will look for Mike Brown and the franchise returns to the playoffs in 2023, 17 years after its last participation. “This is my fourth coach and I come from a situation that was anything but stable”specifies the Sacramento star. “Having this stability helps in the long term. »
The Kings, defeated in the play-in against the Pelicans, will therefore begin a third season in a row with the former Cleveland coach, and after exercises with 48 and 46 victories, there can be optimism in California to continue a third exercise in a row in the positive.
