A week ago, we learned that the negotiations between Mike Brown and the Kings for a contract extension were on hold. The reason ? Divergences on the amounts since the coach believes he deserves an annual salary of 10 million dollars.
Shams Charania we now learn that the Californian franchise has offered an extension of three years and 21 million dollars. We are therefore well below the mark of 10 million per year, even with the announced bonuses, which could increase the total amount to 27 million greenbacks.
An eight-figure annual salary
Much lower figures compared to recent extensions or signings among coaches. As a reminder, Monty Williams (Detroit), Steve Kerr (Golden State), Gregg Popovich (San Antonio) and Erik Spoelstra (Miami) will all be paid between 12 and 17 million per season in the years to come.
Latest example: Tyronn Lue has just extended with the Clippers for $70 million over five years, or 14 million per year. While perhaps waiting for Tom Thibodeau who, too, could continue his adventure with the Knicks for a salary of this level. The one that Mike Brown expects from Californian leaders.
