Doug Christie HAS TURNED THE SACRAMENTO KINGS INTO A SCARY GOOD TEAM
Doug Christie has turned around the Sacramento Kings and they are once again a scary good team. Now the question of should the Kings trade De’Aaron Fox or Domantas Sabonis still seems like a terrible idea considering how good Fox and Sabonis have been for the team over the years.

We don’t need fox we have Carter! We went 3-0 without fox
Bro trust me as a life long kings fan brown fell from grace quick. He’s not head coach material, everybody loves Mike brown the guy he’s nice and he’s positive but dude sucks at rotations and bare minimum not starting Keon Ellis all season after what he did last season raising our defense to top ten in the league. Literally unforgivable the kings should be sitting at like the 5th seed minimum with the talent we have on our squad. Mike brown is that bad no doubt
Kings don't win the game if Fox doesn't play.
Kings were MASSIVELY underperforming all season long and even last season at times. Not to say I knew it would be Doug that got the ship righted but I figured at some point things would pick up. Only reason you trade a superstar talent you drafted and developed in Fox is if he makes it clear he wouldn't re-sign at the end of next season because the team isn't doing good enough or he's worried about the Kangz instability he has seen his entire career.
Kings should have been 5-6 seed last season and would've been if Monk didn't go down, and they should be the same this season with potential to make some noise in the playoffs. Need a Cam Johnson John Collins idk wing depth and another backup center to have Len be third off bench at the 5
There is only one coach any organization in the NBA would keep over a star player, and that is Gregg Popovich.
I think it speaks volumes that 1) the Kings players by having a less complex offensive and defensive playbook, plus less practice before games are actually playing better. So, is Mike Brown's playbook really that good, and was he forcing all that extra practice to learn it worth it?
And 2) ownership is willing to pay off millions (Brown was extended to a 3 year contract over the summer), just to get rid of him. Thats not player power. Thats ownership thinking, i rather lose millions, because he's costing us much more. The Kings need to be a fun team to watch. Its their best path to success, and it is the only way they get on TV as a small market team. Brown was sucking the fun out of the team, so he had to go.
