I understand why everyone is so cynical about this decision and lack of an interview process, but Doug has shown he’s capable of being a true motivator and a good coach when he has the right personnel. Plus, his ideals for his style of play align exactly with what Perry wants this team to be. Why blow a bunch of money on another coach who might not fit that identity when we have one in-house and can use those funds on the market? Lord knows we’re already going to have trouble getting the most out of trade deals to offload Demar and other pieces we need to move.
Huge mistake. He's gone in a year. Another wasted year, another year of false hope and stupid decisions.
I lean more towards a complete rebuild trading everyone but, Keon, Keegan & LaRavia. We need long athletic wings / forwards that can guard the 3, stay in front of their man and a center that can provide rim protection and defend the paint.
People need to stop guessing and assuming what it is and see what happens you can’t get mad or change what you can’t control we are all outside looking in and we will never get the inner workings ore what’s said behind closed doors we as fans always think we are entitled and that’s the problem that’s not how business works just sit back and let’s see what happens the future is scary yes but the guessing and worrying every day is worse Doug earned his job with what he was given
I’m glad! They hate you cuz they “ain’t” you! They hate us cuz they “ain’t” usssss!
Go after Kyrie Irving trade Zach Levine for Miles Bridges trade Monk for Dyson Daniels offer Miami Keon Ellis and Markelle Fultz to try to get Davion Mitchell back try to resign Jake LaRavia and sign Jamarion Sharp
0:25 Doug is going to do what it takes to bring the beam back congrats on new head coach Sacramento kings good pick right choice #unfinishedbusiness # beamteam2
Bro is vivek still running this thing or what? I like doug but I'm not certain whether this is perry decision or owner interference
I hope Scott Perry can pick up Kyrie Irving
Im so disappointed right now. Scott perry just lost all trust i had in him. Hopefully he can earn it back but i doubt it.
Awful franchise. There’s nothing to look forward to. Sell the team already
Davion Mitchell? Lol wow unreal and so long good bye to all those dropping out as fans good luck with whatever you are doing but you won't be missed
Good for Doug but I hope he gets a new start as in his own coaching staff and developmental team as well. Let’s start the season fresh and work our way their to the playoffs. I hope GM Scott Perry make enough changes to roster as well and tbh I believe Kings should retool back to being young again and trade the guys that are eating that CAP Space indefinitely. That’s hurting this team rn and we have to trade at least 2of the 3 either domas, Levine or Deebo before the season starts. We have seen that when our young players were on the court we torched OKC in a quarter for 28-4 run just utilizing Keegan, DC, Keon and Jake.
Last run for Perry. Only chance for Christie. Hang on, Kings fans, this may get interesting. P.S. Vevek hands off, please 🙏
I’m very happy! Christie gets a lot of respect from the players ( as he should ) and now has his chance to get his revenge championship!
Yes! Jake kept saying it depends on DC what happens since we can't offer him more than 5+ million. Super stoked!
He wasn’t even the right choice to be the interim coach when Mike was fired 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️ 2023 was fun but it’s never happening again. We had our one year of being good.
It also means there is no money for a new coach
Doug doesn’t coach? As one former player said. Which is the main reason this team got smoked in the play-in
Perry should have just hired MIke Brown again! 😉
1:53 Doug Christie has to "finish the story"
If Scott Perry and Doug Christie are actually given the time to put their basketball minds together and put the vision into practice and get the right players in here who fit the identity Perry communicated, I’m pretty hopeful. I really hope that happens. I’d love to see that kind of team in Sacramento.
Vivek runs the show and he is not competent. No reason for optimism.
He was fourth in line for head coach ,god were the worst franchise in sports history.
