Kings Insider Reveals The Secrets Of Knicks Coach Mike Brown

Yo, what up Nick Knicks nation? Welcome back. We are back with another KFTV program show and this time we got my guy James Ham who covers the Sacramento Kings for the Kingsbeat.com and you can go find him over at ESPN 1320 over in Cali covering the Kings on the regular. All right, so make sure you hit that thumbs up button for your boys. Subscribe to the channel if you haven’t already done so. We are going to dive into who is Mike Brown. Okay, we need to get answers right now because hey, fired Tom Tibido said he wasn’t going to be the guy to take us to the championship, but now Mike Brown’s going to be that guy. But hey, he’s got an interesting past and we got to dive deep into that. So, make sure to stay locked in because we’re going to cover all the details right now. James, how you doing, my man? How you feeling? I’m good, man. I’m good. I’m really really happy for Mike Brown. Uh he’s a good man. I’m glad he he found a new job very quickly. It’s uh it’s a good day for you guys. All right. Hey, that’s what I like to hear. I like to hear high praise for a head coach, especially when you know uh Tibs, I mean, if you saw the letter from the New York Knicks, you know, their singular focus is on winning a championship. And so when you when you put those words on paper, you hit put that into the social media world, it’s kind of saying that, hey, this is not the guy like we appreciate, you know, all the work that he did to bring the Knicks out of the dumpster to being a respected team, but we don’t think you’re the championship caliber guy, but now Mike Brown comes into here. I mean, they did their due diligence. You’re trying to see could they get Jason K? Could they get Eadoka? You know, they were going all around the world. It felt like the NBA world that is to see who could be the next head coach. Ultimately they land with Mike Brown. So let’s start off with who is Mike Brown and what did you think about his tenure in Sacramento? Yeah, I I mean I think you know Mike Brown as a as a young coach took on that Cleveland Cavaliers team. His first job is is one of the highest pressure jobs you could possibly find. Not not because it’s in Cleveland because that’s not high pressure, but it’s high pressure because everybody in the world knew that LeBron James was going to be a superstar. From the moment he started showing up as like a 16-year-old uh on ESPN, we all knew he was going to be incredible. And so when you’re tasked with bringing that young player along, um it’s it’s not easy. And and to be honest with you, I I don’t think Cleveland ever really got what they had the first time around. They never understood the magnitude of the player that they had and they basically used an over reliance on him to field teams that were subpar. And you can go back and look at some of those rosters where, you know, some of the some of the second best players on those teams are guys like, you know, Mo Williams or uh Ramon Sessions. uh you’re just looking around like is Drunis Ilgosquez really like the Robin to LeBron’s Batman uh Booby Gibson, you know? Yeah. So, I think, you know, Mike did a a very very good job of bringing along a team of basically making it to uh you know, deep in the playoffs and to an NBA Finals with um a group of players that, you know, was basically a one-man band. Um but then you know after leaving Cleveland the the stuff that happens you know the Lakers job going back to Cleveland before LeBron comes back um you know that I just kind of like wash away most of that. I I don’t think that Mike was really given a a really fair shot in any of those those spots. You know whether it was the Kobe situation or again LeBron coming back to Cleveland. Um I I really liked the guy that came out of the the five or six years with the Warriors and you know he went to uh the Warriors. Um I think he became a kinder gentler soul uh in those years. I think he learned like a different approach to uh to connecting with players. uh you know personal stuff. Uh he had some life changes and and different stuff happen uh while he was there in Golden State. Um a and then you know when he was given another opportunity in Sacramento, he took one of the most inept franchises in the history of professional sports who hadn’t made a playoffs in 16 years who just assembled a team um you know during that off season whether you know earlier right before he gets there they go out and they trade for Demon Sabonis and Trey Lyles but then in that first off season um you know as Mike’s taking over to the team. They go out, they trade for Kevin Herder, they they sign Malik Monk, they draft Keegan Murray, and they go from just a hless uh, you know, lost franchise to a team that won 18 more games than they had the previous year, snapped a 16 game uh a 16y year playoff drought, and uh was the third seed in the Western Conference. And I don’t care what the the record was. You know, they won 48 games that year, but when you can be you can win a third seed in the Western Conference, it doesn’t really matter. I mean, you did amazing things, especially with a team that had won 30 games a year before. So, like I have a a ton of admiration for what he was able to do in that first season. Um, he’s funny. He he has a a big personality. He loves to laugh. he’s always got some sort of uh mantra coming into a season. Uh whether it’s, you know, allin uh or it’s I think together. Um and then the last year he he brought in a a climber that had climbed like all of the highest peaks in the world and talked about, you know, taking steps forward and understanding that there are going to be steps backwards, but there’s always steps forward. Um like it was a good time. It was a good time covering Mike Brown in Sacramento. Uh, and you know, that’s kind of the start. Uh, so I I guess I’ll let you lead me wherever you want to go from there. Oh, for well, you know, I I like what you said so far about Mike Brown. And I got to ask you about the kinder, gentler soul, but I really I think the one that really sticks out right now is you talk about how he comes into the season with a theme. And I look at, you know, you watch the last dance documentary with Michael Jordan and what Phil Jackson did, right? To kind of bring like what’s the theme of the season, how are you going to get guys to be bought in? And I think the biggest part of being a head coach is being that um motivational speaker, right? And I don’t really think Tom Tibido had that in his bag. like yes, he’s very structured, very regimented, can create the outline that you need to bring guys in, be disciplined, create that hard work ethic, and get them to the place where they want to be, where they can be respectable and a competitive team. But I think sometimes you need to have that like it’s soft factors, right? Like when you go through a job application process and you’re trying to interview people, it’s yeah, you got everything, you meet everything on paper, but what are the soft factors outside of that? Can you communicate people with people well? Can you, you know, be that motivational speaker when they when you need to be? How do you bring everyone together? Um, do you have a high emotional intelligence? And I think that’s an aspect that Mike Brown can bring from his uh from his journey as a coach throughout the NBA to the New York Knicks. But I do want to ask you about kinder, gentler soul because he said that he he became that in Golden State. You don’t think he was that in Cleveland and in LA? like he he developed that in Golden State. Yeah. I mean, I think there was there was some of that um in him before, but like look, when you come from like a Greg Papovic system, which a lot of NBA coaches at this point have, right? The the pop coaching tree is one of the most extreme, you know, like so many branches, it’s crazy. But that’s where Mike Brown really got his start. It was working with Pop and learning from Pop. The same with a guy like Michael Malone. and you can see the edge that they have that that comes from pop, right? And that’s a good thing. Even Steve Kerr, you know, comes from the great Papovich tree. And so you’re watching a guy who number one, he’s meticulous. He he has uh like people call him OCD, right? Which I I think is something that you can compare it to Tibido. Like there is a very specific style of play that he wants to play, but there’s an attention to detail that he demands. And uh to be honest with you, that can grade on some players, but players who are serious and who want to take the next step and who want to win a championship, they’ll listen because he does have that sort of pedigree. I mean, a guy came into Sacramento with like a 612 career winning percentage. And it didn’t even dip that much, you know, in his time in Sacramento. And that’s saying something. I mean, we’re talking about a franchise that, you know, before Mike Brown got there in like 39 years or 38 years, had four had eight seasons total over 500 and they were all under Rick Adelman, you know. So, no one else has ever won had a 41 and 41 record outside of Rick Adelman in Sacramento before Mike Brown walks in the door. I mean, Luke Walton, who basically got run out of town, Luke Walton had the second or third highest win percentage in Sacramento Kings history. Like, that’s that’s not a good thing. Like the the franchise was rudderless. So, I think there’s a certain amount of like again that tibido edge, that focus on detail. um his first year in in Sacramento, I I remember very specifically like as a as a beat writer going, “This is wild. We have practice every single day, you know, because anytime a team practices, they by league rule, you have to open up to the media.” And so every sing they had mapped out from day one of training camp all the way through the end of the season, we you have I think you have to have 19 total off days. They had mapped every single off day out and they had practice every single day. And not only practice, but we started hearing about two-hour practices. We start, you know, getting invited to to for media. Uh, you know, we show up, we’re in this giant like waiting area and, you know, practice is supposed to end at at 12:30 and it’s like 1:15 and we’re still sitting there. And so next thing you know, you start hearing a little bit of the players saying, “Hey, look, you know, these two-hour practices are are killer. The fact that we practice every day is a killer.” But at the same time, you go back to that season, the Kings win 48 games. They had almost like they had a handful of injuries lost. I mean, games lost due to injury because their players were in incredible shape. He demanded excellence from them. And that first season, it set a standard. And uh to me like having a a person come in and turn around a franchise like that is stunning. Like like we always talk about, you know, you’ve got to have chemistry and you’re trying to build some sort of, you know, team character and and all this stuff. The culture of a basketball team, we hear it all the time. Mike Brown walked in the door and instantly created a culture again with like six or seven guys who had never played together. It was like De’aran Fox and Harrison Barnes had played together. You had a couple of months of DaVon Mitchell, you know, playing with those guys. Demana Sabonis had finished the previous season with like 20 games, but even then Fox got hurt and they shut him down. Like these guys hadn’t played together. and to to have like almost all of your rotation be guys that had never suited up and played alongside each other and in that first year post the highest offensive rating in the history of the NBA. That’s just it’s just wild watching it play out was crazy. But but also like they did the work and and that’s something that you know Mike Brown enforces. You do the work uh or you don’t play. For sure. And that’s something that Tibs always preaches to. You know, the beauty is in the work or the magic is in the work, I should say. That’s what it is. The magic is in the work. And it kind and it sounds like Mike Brown is of that same ilk where, you know, you’re going to have to practice. You’re going to have to work hard. And that’s probably the biggest thing that you’ve mentioned that’s different from Tibs, especially this last season, is that there weren’t many held practices for the Knicks, just because Tibs played them so many minutes during the regular season. So to balance that out, if he’s going to play them a lot of minutes, they’re not going to practice a lot because you don’t want to extend them. You don’t want them to burn out because he was thinking about the postseason, too. But, you know, you got to make sure you balance it throughout the regular season. Make sure there’s enough uh practices to see that guys are on the same page. And that’s the one thing I saw when Mike Brown got to Sacramento is that a lot of guys were on the same page on the court and they all understood what they wanted to do, where their placement was. And it wasn’t, especially offensively, it wasn’t choppy. I know the defense is is questionable when when he was out there, but it’s also based on the personnel that he had too. But offensively, you could see that because of the practice, because of the detail that you’re talking about, it was there. Now, for all great things, you know, that you’re talking about for Mike Brown, it ultimately didn’t end that great because he did get fired from Sacramento. And why did he get fired? Yeah, I I mean, first of all, the second season uh wasn’t nearly as good, right? Um the Kings in that second season, they um they lost a bunch of games to the worst teams in basketball. You know, they I think in that season they lost a game to Charlotte, they lost a game to Portland, they lost a game to Detroit, they lost a game to the Wizards. And when you’re looking at a team that had aspirations of winning 50 plus games u and you come up with 46 and I can point to four or five games against the worst teams in basketball that you lost. Um that’s really a tough pill to swallow, right? And that’s why they drop all the way down to what ninth in the standings and and they don’t make they’re in the play. They don’t make the playoffs and all that stuff. Um, I just think that there was a disconnect and to be honest with you, uh, some of it is on the players. Um, you know, you had Kevin Herder, uh, you know, who who basically went to the All-Star weekend the year before and couldn’t hit the broadside of a barn, you know, as a as a three-point shooter at in the three-point contest. And then it really got in his head and he really had a tough go, especially in the playoffs when they lost to Golden State in seven games. um you know in the first year of Mike Brown we call that here in Sacramento beam team one that’s when the beam was invented so beam team two um you started to see that you know some of the practice uh like started to wear on some of the players um some of the players started to get comfortable and let their personalities come out a little bit more and maybe some of those personalities weren’t exactly like 100% team oriented right and and so you had some of these little cracks start to form. Um, but again, Mike practiced hard and and pushed the guys a lot and so you get to that that summer between the the, you know, beam team two and beam team three and I I think he started to have some factions in the locker room. Uh, guys that weren’t happy about their position, weren’t happy about their uh sort of their place in in Mike Brown’s hierarchy. uh you know, even guys like Malik Monk who was really really hoping to start. He was going into that off season as a free agent and you know, he ended up getting his deal. Um but at the same time, he got his deal, he wanted to start and that’s not something Mike Brown wanted or was comfortable with. And you know, for me, it’s a little bit like what he’s going to face in in New York. uh except for Jordan Clarkson understands he’s not going to start. You know, Jordan Clarkson understands that being a great six-man has a tremendous amount of value and you know, it it’s got him paid his entire career just like is getting Malik Monk paid. Um, so but there’s just like this little bits of friction here and there, a little bit of like some of the players hoping to go in and just a little bit of a stylistic change in the way that they’re uh, you know, they’re going into the next season. And, you know, for Mike, he kept asking for the the one basic thing that that everybody here in Sacramento has been asking for for the last like five or six years, and that’s more length and athleticism at the wings. And you know whether it was Kyle Kosma or John Collins rumors or Cam Johnson rumors like the Kings were chasing these guys but never ever got a deal done. And so you’re walking into seasons with you know just an undersized roster the whole time where you know Keegan Murray is playing the four and you know then you’re asking Keegan Murray to guard point guards one night and LeBron James the next night because you don’t have any other defenders. And so while Mike is trying to build up the the defensive acumen of the team, um especially in that second season there, you know, really the focus was defense defense. Then he ends up losing Jordy Fernandez as as his defensive coordinator. And not only that, but Jordy was his he was more than just a an assistant coach. He was um what do they call him? The he was the second in charge. He was associate head coach. Associate head coach. Yeah. Exactly. And so losing Jordy in that going into that second season too, an associate head coach does all kinds of things that you don’t even think about. Like Jordy Fernandez worked the sub patterns from the sidelines. So Mike’s coaching the team and Jord’s putting guys in and out of the game the whole time. Well, you take away Jordy from doing that and you know Mike promoted Luke Lax. Uh he promoted Luke LS to his defensive coordinator even though Lax had been an offensive guy both in Golden State and in Sacramento. Um, and there were just these little things that just weren’t setting right with that team and and unfortunately between, you know, not getting the pieces that they needed in the offseason. Um, going into the season with, you know, again, if you can’t find, if you can’t get a trade done for Cam Johnson, you miss out on a couple other players. The response was for the Kings to go out and sign uh do a sign and trade for Demard Rosen. Um, again, not exactly built for their offense, not exactly a defensive stalworth. Uh, it really just kind of set in motion something that you could kind of see happening. And and also during that off season, um, Mike had asked for, uh, a new contract. And, um, basically what had happened was when they signed Mike to his original deal, they gave him a three-year contract and they wanted a fourthyear team option. Um Mike and his agent demanded a fourthyear um mutual option and when coaching salary skyrocketed with the the Monty Williams contract and then all of the other coaches getting their contracts uh raised up, Mike was going into uh his third season. Um as number one, he opted out of his fourth season because that’s when he had to opt out. uh and he opted out because contracts had skyrocketed and then he was able to negotiate a deal at, you know, a three-year deal where they tore up his third year in Sacramento and gave him a bump from like 5 million to 8.5 million, but also put incentives in that he could get up to 10 million bucks as a coach. Um, and it was a three-year deal. But in that negotiation, I think that’s where bad blood started. And uh you know like sometimes you pay a guy uh knowing that you know you might not keep him. And I was surprised that they you know if that’s how they felt they probably should have just fired him during the offseason and paid him out you know the 5 million they owed him. Uh but instead they gave him a three-year contract uh and then you know fired him 20some games into the season. uh by that point like look things were going wrong and you know I I can like honestly being here you’re watching the team play and they’re not playing up to their potential and at some point the the voice in the locker room you know they he wasn’t he wasn’t garnering the same uh connection with the players and I don’t know why it happened so quickly but I’ll also tell you like there were groups of players that loved Mike and groups of players that were hoping to move on from Mike And I don’t think they were pulling the right way. The team itself wasn’t pulling the right way and really made things awkward, you know, in general. And it’s why we get to the, you know, Mike Brown um getting getting let go. It started a chain reaction in Sacramento. This led to a lot of negativity. Like De’Arren Fox had told the team during the offseason um that he didn’t want to play for another coach in Sacramento. he wanted to play for Mike Brown and that if they wanted to move off of of Mike Brown during that off season that they should trade him as well. Um so when they went in to to fire and they fired Mike um it was with the understanding that De’ar Fox didn’t want to be there anymore if Mike wasn’t going to be there. And so they instantly looked for a place for for De’Arren Fox to go. Um and and just one thing after another after another kind of played out to where that season, not only did the season go bad, but it’s really hurt the franchise and set them up on a dark path for the next couple of years, barring some some crazy luck or some uh some teams deciding to take on some of the contracts that they have that are now just bloated and and really difficult to move. Wow, that’s a lot of change from it’s what seems like one small move led to a massive chain reaction. Salute to Nick for Thank you all for tuning in for another KFTD programming.

So, James, uh, you you there’s a lot of gems that you just dropped in that story or talk talk about like how from season two to season 3 everything just changed within the organization with the firing of Mike Brown and and you know, ultimately Darren Fox getting up and out out of there and going to San Antonio. But you also brought up uh losing the head co uh the assistant uh Jordy Fernandez, you know, who’s over out in Brooklyn now and his how instrumental he was defensively and just with the lineup changes for Sacramento. Well, you had Jordy and Triano, who I know is known for the offense out in uh Sacramento. How how much of the offense was between both those guys was just more so on Triana? like how much of the offense was developed because that’s kind of the big thing everyone’s looking at for Mike Brown right now is that he’s going to play fast. He’s going to modernize the offense. You know, after watching Tibs work the offense with this team started off great. You know, they were top five uh in the NBA at the beginning of last season. January 1st, new year comes around. This team becomes middle of the pack offensively. So, you know, as we see in the NFL, you switch different type of style philosophies going from a defensive head coach to offensive head coach kind of feels the same thing around here. So, my question is how much is the offense was it dictated by Mike Brown or was it more so the assistant coaches? Yeah. I mean, I think Mike had a huge huge influence on what they’re doing both offensive and defensively. um you know they have coordinators here in Sacramento or they did during that during that era. Uh you know again Jordy Fernandez was the associate head coach and the defensive coordinator Jay Triano the offensive coordinator. Like look Triano’s got a long long career in the NBA as a guy who can um create a really strong offense. I mean he was an unbelievable offensive player himself. Um, but you know, I think a lot of what he was doing was designed because that’s the type of offense Mike Brown wanted and it’s also the type of offense that you use when you have a guy like Demonus Fabonis, right? So, um I I think it was just sort of a really strong marriage of a guy who, you know, when he was in Charlotte running the offense there, um he had guys like Mason Plumbley who there running the ball through a bunch and and sort of creating this uh this DHO, the dribble handoff game and using all that stuff. So, I think the design, some of it is just straight up Jay Trianiano, but also a lot of it is that that’s the offense Mike was looking for and the type of coordinator that he was looking for to run that. And, you know, Jay was there all all three years. Uh, well, two and a half years that Mike was there. Um, and he finished this last season in Sacramento. Um, and as far as Jordy, uh, the thing with Jordy is is like these two guys had a an incredible bond. Jordy and Mike have this wild, incredible bond. So, when uh Mike was in Cleveland, um I think he was uh he was coaching um international play and met Jordy. Uh he ended up offering Jordy a job as like his personal assistant and his son’s trainer. Uh and so Jordy became a trainer for one of Mike Brown’s sons that had aspirations of making it to the to the league. Mhm. Um and then someone when he was in Cleveland, someone watched Jordy working with his son and said, “Hey, is there any way we can get Jordy on our staff here?” And Mike said, “Yeah, like I” So they hired him as a player development coach um while he was, you know, like kind of hanging out with the family, right? And uh and so their bond was incredible. Uh Jordy would go on to, you know, again, coach with Mike Malone in Denver for a bunch of for a bunch of years, won a championship in Denver, um on Mike Malone’s staff. So, um like when they they brought him in, like the connection between those two was instantaneous. Like they were very close. And then you had Luke LS. Uh Luke LS of course now is a head coach at Florida State. Um but he’s a guy that was a player development coach with the Warriors. And so he had worked with Mike. Uh they brought in Leandro Barbosa who again deep ties to the Warriors, was a Warriors assistant and stuff like that. So like that coaching staff that they built early on in Sacramento was was excellent. And I I would you know I think the biggest thing for me is that they were all close. They supported Mike in the right way. And I think that’s one concern you have right now is that Mike, it took so long for their hiring process that so many of the good assistants were gone by then. You know, there was a point where Jay Triano was available and you know, he ends up in Dallas right before Mike lands in New York, but like maybe a couple of weeks and if you’re Jay Triana, you’re not going to wait around. You know, if a job comes up, you got to take it. So, I think Mike’s got that as a challenge because what you want as a as a head coach is somebody that, you know, really does trust the players, the the people around you that you’re with all the time. Um, so as far as like what Mike has, uh, you know, sort of what he brings to the table on the offensive or defensive side and and how much influence those guys had over them, I always looked at them as like really really support pieces and everyone was on the same page. Mike was the head coach without any question and he oversaw everything. So, while it might be J Triiono’s uh offense or playets they’re they’re that they’re running, it was also a really tight-knit family. And I know that there was like a game early in this uh after the after all-star weekend in that first season and um Luke LS from the backline said, “Hey, um why don’t we try to post up Harrison Barnes a couple of times and see if they can throw the ball over the top to Harrison Barnes from the high post. have Sabonis do that and they literally beat the team by just feeding Harrison Barnes like six plays in a row. And so like they’re they were a family where everything was uh where no one feared stepping up and saying something or or giving some sort of insight. And so I I I really do think that uh Mike has a a really good ability to build that to build the the pieces around him that he trusts that trust him and that back him 100%. For sure. And trust is a big thing. Even when you look at Tibs and who he brought in, obviously there’s a trust factor because a lot of those guys came from Chicago. So, I’m not surprised that you say the same thing about Mike Brown. I think that more interesting thing and that last thing you talked about were everyone has a voice in the room. That was the bit that’s the biggest difference in what this front office wanted. You you could tell that Tibs ran the ship and that it was his ideas that, you know, were set in stone. Uh Mike Brown as you already have has demonstrated just from your stories is that he’s a guy that will collaborate with his staff and I think that’s not that I think I know that’s what the front office wanted. So that’s going to be a refreshing site to see here in New York. But you know there has been some uh rumors according to Michael Scott of Hoops Hype. He did say the New York Knicks are expected to add Charles Allen to the coaching staff. Uh uh Knicks head coach Mike Brown and Allen worked together previously in Sacramento. Uh Brown is also expected to add Ricardo Foy whom he worked with in Sacramento as well. What can you say about those two guys right there? Yeah, I don’t know Charles all that well. Um he was a development coach here in Sacramento and um you know kind of a quiet guy. Uh but I’m sure he’s got a very very good future in the league. U Mike is really good about that about bringing along young coaches. Um when it comes to Ricky Fo Ricky is awesome. He is um he’s one of those guys who doesn’t stop talking and he of course is Italian and he’s got this uh you know like he’s just got this crazy energy and he’s super fun. So he’ll fit into New York no problem. No worries. Yeah. Yeah. I I absolutely love Ricky and he’s actually really close with Deanna Sabonis and also uh the head coach of um why am I drawing a blank? The head coach of uh Gonzaga. Uh yeah. So yeah, he’s definitely he’s got ties around uh not just league but uh international uh play everywhere. And uh he’s one of those guys that, you know, you he’s probably not going to be a front front of the bench head uh coach. Um but he is like a big- time culture character guy who again will have the team. He brings like a lightness and and a fun to the room. So So and what does Ricardo what did Ricardo do in Sacramento if you don’t mind me asking? Yeah, he’s a he was a development coach slash um you know I don’t know sixth seventh eighth assistant you know I don’t know how many assistants who’s actually called him an assistant who’s not anymore but um you know the Kings when they they lost uh when they lost Jordy Jordy took a couple of coaches with him right so he took um Dvitas Dulkis who those two of course played together at Florida State uh and their wives are super close So, they brought those guys. Uh, and then they also lost uh their director of of uh player development and why his name is slipping my mind right now. Uh, it will probably Oh, Dutch Gaitley. There we go. Those were two big losses uh you know for the Kings and when you add Jordy that was another big loss and trying to fill those shoes that that second that the third year did not have the same family vibe. And that’s the one other thing I would add is that um when Mike uh assembled that first group, all of the coaches were around the same age. All of them had young kids. All of them had wives that would show up to every single game with uh all of their kids. Uh Luke Loss has a couple of daughters. Uh Devitas Dulki and his wife have kids. Uh Jordy Fernandez has little tiny kids. um like all of them. It was like a a family and that’s something that that I think Mike really fostered in Sacramento because at the same time you had some of your players who are going through the same thing. You know, Sabonis had kids while uh he he’s had two, actually three now since he’s been in Sacramento. Uh same thing with De’aran Fox. He had two kids while he was here. Uh Harrison Barnes had a a little girl while he was here. So, it became like this really cool culture where all of these little tiny kids are everywhere. And I’m talking like three, four year olds everywhere um around the team, all around the court in pregame. And that’s something that Mike really pushed for this family atmosphere, which I think, you know, maybe he can he can help develop there in uh in New York as well. Right square guard, man. It is pricey. All right. It is pricey. So, you know what you got to do? You got to go to SeatGeek. And what do they do?

Salutation, thank you all for tuning for another KSTV programming. Like I said, we’re getting into the details of Mike Brown and who he is. Shout out to James Ham. Covers the Sacramento Kings for the Kingsbeat.com. You can also find him over at ESPN radio in Sacramento. All right, few more few more questions and we’ll get you out of here, James. All right. So, with with the you brought this up earlier is that Mike Brown had there was there was a divide in the locker room, right? Where some players were for him, wanted him to stay, some were ready to move on from him and ready for the next guy to come through. And, you know, big thing that we see is, you know, him, Mike Brown himself criticizing players through the media. You know, Tom Tibido is a guy that never spoke ill about any player in the media, but Mike Brown is very comfortable with speaking out about his players when it comes to the media. And in New York, we all know how vicious it can be. Um, how much of that do you think impacted his firing and what do you what do you think of him doing that as a head coach? Yeah, I gotta be honest, it’s really interesting. Um like I’ve this is my I’m going into my 16th year covering the Sacramento Kings. Um Doug Christy is a 10th head coach I’ve I’ve worked with. Uh, so I mean if you can imagine like I Paul Westfall, uh, Keith Smart, uh, Michael Malone, Ty Corbin, George Carl, Dave Jagger, uh, Luke Walton, Alvin Gentry, uh, Mike Brown, Doug Christie, like I’ve covered all kinds of different head coaches, head coaches that would never say a word about a player. Uh, you know, again, Dave Joerger does not talk about players at all. like he will not throw a player under a bus at all. Um was super cautious about it where you know George Carl once looks at looked at the box score in Sacramento and said hey even a Coke machine could get one more than one rebound in 33 minutes of play. Anyone looks at the box score can look at the box score and realize that Derek Williams had one rebound in 33 minutes of play or 32 minutes of play like and Derrick Williams was then from then on called the Coke machine. Um, so, so like look, you have players that, I mean, coaches that avoid that and coaches that, um, have no problems being super honest and, you know, calling what what they see on the court. I thought there were times where Mike caught me off guard by that because I wasn’t I’m not used to that, right? Like even though it’s 10 head coaches I’ve covered, very few of them will actually take a player to task in the media. Um, there’s even a point where I had asked a question about who why we had got a specific player that showed up to postgame media and Mike, you know, said the the uh media relation person her her name and said, “I’m not sure, you know, she brings the people out, not me.” And it was like, “Okay, that’s it’s just a change from what I was used to.” Um, and and I think a lot of what happened at the end of Mike Brown’s tenure, even the last night of of his tenure, is what really stands out and gets some of the press. And that’s because, of course, um, they were playing Detroit at home. And Dearon Fox, they were up three with 3 seconds left. And De’aran Fox fouled Jaden Ivy shooting a three from the corner. He hit the three, hit the free throw, and the Kings lost. And Mike Brown, you know, like he didn’t mince words like in in postgame. He was very clear that they had specifically talked about whether or not they were supposed to foul or not. And whether you know, if you got a guy and his back is to the basket, then foul him and make him go to the line. If you if not, then get away from everybody. Let them shoot. If they tie it, they tie it, but let’s not lose the game. And so I mean he really did like put De’ar Fox on blast in postgame and it wasn’t just like accusatory or anything else. It was just I don’t have an an explanation for why De’ar Fox was did something that was not part of any game plan and not something we would ever do, right? Um and then so that becomes like the story that night that Mike Brown had lambasted Dear Fox. The next day we get to to practice and Mike Brown goes over, puts his arm around De’aran and you know I filmed uh 45 seconds or a minute of him having a conversation with De’ar Fox on the court and um this is when things get weird, right? Uh him and Fox seem totally fine and to be honest with you, they were totally fine. De’Arren is a player who always always wants to be coached hard. He would love to play for Tibido. He loved to play for Mike Brown. Uh his high school coach, his dad, they all coached him hard and he didn’t understand not being coached hard. And so he got it and he knew he had made a mistake. Um but the way that that whole entire day worked out was after we left and I posted that video of Mike Brown talking to Dear Fox, like 20 minutes later on his way to the airport, Mike Brown is called and fired over the phone. And so it became like this really weird situation where a lot of people who weren’t paying attention to the nuances of it believe that his relationship with De’aran Fox was tattered and that Fox played some role in Mike getting fired. Couldn’t be further from the truth. Uh Dearan Fox absolutely loved Mike Brown, did not want to play for anyone other than Mike Brown. And it felt more like a situation where the Kings knew they were going to LA against a bad Lakers team at that point. Um, and they were looking for a moment where they could probably fire him before a game. Um, because they had a stretch of games coming up that weren’t against tough opponents. And I think the Kings end up going what they lose to the Lakers, but then they win seven in a row under Doug Christie right after that. Part of it schedule, part of it changed in voice and all that stuff. But, uh, definitely like this moment where De’Arren Fox takes a bunch of blame for something he had no part in at all. Uh, Mike Brown, you know, it looks like he’s a coach that throws players under the bus all the time. That’s not really the case, but it was the case the night before he gets fired and and so I think a magnifying glass has been put on that more than it probably should have. Um, and it ended up being an easy narrative and one that De’ar tried his best to to like get away from. I mean, there was even a point where after he was fired, Mike Brown and De’Arren Fox were seen at a local restaurant going out to dinner together, and that’s unusual. So, uh, yeah, just a a weird situation, but look, there are a lot of weird situations in Sacramento, I got to be honest. And you know, like how many coaches I mean, I’ve covered three head coaches in one season and I’ve covered two multiple times, but three in one season. You know, the Michael Malone, Ty Corbin, George Carl era, but like it wasn’t fun for anybody. Basketball hell is what they called it. Thank you, Rudy Gay. Wow. Oh, Rudy Gay. I remember that time period. And you know, another I think another player outside of that incident that you discussed about uh with Darren Fox and Mike Brown, you know, you we remember Keon Ellis, you know, kind of feeling like he’s in the doghouse uh under Mike Brown as well. Is do you think that even adds to it as well? Because I I think there was some rumbling that they wanted Keon Ellis to get some more playing time and Mike Brown didn’t feel like he was ready for that. Yeah, I mean I think people should like again if you’re not like there covering them every single day like like Keon Ellis was an undrafted free agent like they signed him and the and they signed him to a two-way contract, right? Mhm. He put in a tremendous amount of work. I’m not going to take anything away from Keon at all because I he’s a great kid and he’s put in a tremendous amount of work to get better as a basketball player. But opportunity in the NBA is is something that doesn’t come around very often. And Keon got in in his first season, he ended up getting opportunity that typically doesn’t happen for an undrafted free agent for a two-way contract player. And he got some opportunities to start. He got some opportunities to play some minutes. And he made the most of those opportunities. But those opportunities are created by the head coach. And so there’s this weird dynamic where Keon is both created by Mike Brown, but also held back by Mike Brown. And like look, you had other players that had to play. And at some point, you know, the Kings had to do everything in their power to try to figure out what was wrong with Kevin Herder and how to get him back on the right path. Sometimes you play him more than that. You asked for 6’7, 6’8, 6’9 wings during the offseason. They traded two second round picks for Chrisorte who’s 6’5, 66 and plays a shooting guard position. And and again, that’s Keon’s position. So, you can’t really blame Mike for what the front office brings to him and says, “Hey, you know, we need you to get Kevin Herder right because either, you know, he’s our guy or we need to trade him, but we need his value to get up so we can trade him.” Also, here’s the defensive guy you keep asking for. We brought you, you know, Chris Dwarte who plays a two and so he kept having basically the pathway to Keon blocked. And when it was all said and done, like look, I I don’t think Doug Christie played Keon Ellis all that much more than Mike Brown did in year three uh of this whole thing. Um but also like look, did Keon get a DMP CD? Yeah, he got one. Like that happened. Uh the year before though, like Mike put a lot of faith in that kid and he ended up going like the Kings were I think they started out 8 and0 with him in the starting lineup. Um but it was over like three different stretches and you know a lot of coaches would never have given an undrafted free agent uh an opportunity to to get on the court let alone start games in their rookie and sophomore season. And so I I don’t I don’t fully prescribe to the whole Keon Ellis situation being part of the reason why Mike Brown was let go. Okay. And and the reason I’m asking these questions is because look once again like I said, Tibs is not a guy that criticizes players in the media. And when you look at this roster that the Knicks have, it’s it’s an interesting group of personalities. And so to being being able to manage all those personalities and still go out there and compete and earn their trust, which is going to have to be done in, you know, a very short time because this team is already situated for the expectation is that this team’s going to go to the NBA finals, right? That that’s essentially what you said, not only with the front office, but then you look at the landscape of the Eastern Conference. Boston Celtics, no Jason Tatum. That team has just gotten dismantled. They have a soft reset. You have the Indiana Pacers. You don’t have Tyrese Hallebertton, the guy who stirs the drink. He’s out for the season. They just made the NBA Finals. So now you’ll get those two teams that are out. Magic interesting. They still got to prove themselves. Hawks, interesting. They still got to prove themselves. But when you look at the hierarchy, it’s like, okay, why shouldn’t it be the Knicks and the Cavs now? One and two, right there. And if you’re not a big believer in the Cavs, then New York is right there. They just made the Eastern Conference Finals. You know, you’re talk, we’re all talking about, hey, a game one that was an out-of- body experience where you’re watching a ball just shoot up, touch the essentially the ceiling of Madison Square Garden, and then drop and then just the series just unfolds in a way that you didn’t even expect it to after the Knicks. Could they beat the Celtics and they do that? You know, this is where for Mike Brown, you got a lot of personalities, there’s a lot of expectations. How’s he going to manage all of that and just move the ship forward? So, hey, I’m I’m very curious to see how he’s able to, you know, finagle all that and maneuver that throughout the regular season because these guys, man, I I don’t know if everyone’s going to be excited when their name is in the media, it’s on a tab on the tabloid the next day and they’re like, “Why is it my fault? Why am I getting the blame for this?” Right? So, this this is what I want to figure out, man. Yeah. Yeah. And like look, I don’t think Mike Brown’s going to walk in the door and start throwing people under the bus, but what he is is he’s honest. And a lot of times when you’re a coach and you’re deflecting and you’re just hiding hiding a player’s faults, that doesn’t help anybody either, right? And you know, I guess he’s going to face a a harsher media group in New York than than he will anywhere else because that’s just New York media. New York, Philadelphia, you’re going to get beat up. But um I also like look I’ve covered so many head coaches and I’ll tell you this like I thought firing Tom Tibido was the wrong decision and you guys there you you guys can look at it your way and and say oh things had kind of run its course but what I watched was a team who had five players and make they made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals. They had no bench and they had no bench because they went out and traded for Male Bridges and Carl Anthony Townson the same offseason and gave up all their bench pieces to do that. They gave up, you know, a ton of depth to do that. I love what they’ve done this off seasonason and I think there’s still potential for them to do more this offseason. You is there a possibility to add a Ben Simmons, but you know, adding some of the pieces that they’ve added. I would have liked to have seen what Tom Tivido could have done with an actual bench that he trusted and and that’s the biggest thing. You know, you have Mitchell Robinson playing what, 13 games? Yeah. and then he’s got to figure out a way to get him into the playoffs when he hasn’t played the whole season. U you know, you have young players who who just aren’t ready or you had aging veterans who just couldn’t help and and I get like not extending that to those players. Um but now again, you you bring in a Clarkson, you bring in uh who’s the power forward they brought in from Philly? Yavelli. Uh yeah, Yavelli. Yeah. Like I think that’s a great signing. you get a healthy Mitchell Robinson, like what is that team going to look like? And to be honest with you, Mike Brown won’t have to coach that team the same way that Tom Tibido did because he’s going to have better depth. And and that’s a big deal. It’s a big deal at the NBA level. Like the two deepest teams in the NBA is who represented the the the league in the NBA finals. Oklahoma City and Indiana. Two deepest teams in the league. and that, you know, that was a great uh like collection of players for both groups, but again, not the topheavy talent that the Knicks have, just better depth. And when you have a player have an off night or you have a couple players get dinged up in a series, like those other teams had the opportunity to go to somebody else to help them and the Knicks just didn’t. It’s like, hey, these are our five guys. you know, you want to throw in maybe a sixth guy or a seventh guy. Yeah. Campaign or or deuce or whatever. Like, okay. Like, you know, it’s one thing to play a guy like that who’s young and who can make mistakes in a regular season, but when you get to the NBA uh Eastern Conference Finals or or a deep playoff series, you got to have guys that have experience and you trust. Now, he might be better this year for that opportunity, but the fact is that, you know, Tibido was in a lot of ways, um, you know, kind of had one hand tied behind his back when it came to his rotations and, you know, it was like the Villanova guys are bust pretty much. Yeah, this is true. Now, James, I got one more question for you. Uh, as I do agree like having depth is important in the NBA for sure and we did see that this finals. My question now is to wrap this whole thing up. How will Mike Brown deploy Brunson and Towns? Uh, is it going to be similar to what he did with Fox and Sabonis or do you see something different? Yeah, I mean that really does depend on what Carl Anthony Town shows as a passer. Right. So, um, the DHO game works so well with Sabonis because he’s so gifted, right? He’s so gifted as a passer. He’s not the scorer that Towns is. he’s a he’s a much better rebounder historically. I know Town’s had a good rebounding year, but um it’s definitely uh it’s going to be their biggest question and how do you manage those personalities and how do you you know again maybe spread the wealth a little bit beyond those two like how do you get how do you get the other guys involved and that wasn’t always the I mean that might be one of the biggest things that hurt Mike and in Sacramento is that guys like Keegan Murray kind of fell off that rookie year and guys like Kevin Herder he lost his way and they couldn’t find a way to get him back on the right path. Um but I do think that um he gives the players a lot of freedom to to grow and to be better. Um and the one thing that he begged for here in Sacramento is number one OG Anobi uh who the Kings tried to get. Uh but also Mikuel Bridges. Like those are the types of players that Mike Brown loves. He loves long athletic defensive players. So, I I think that those two key components uh with Brunson and with Cat are going to be huge. But realistically, if Cat can develop some of those uh the DHO skills that you know, play um not just as a primary scoring force, but somebody who’s a more willing passer, then I could see a lot of, you know, the similarities between Fox and Sabonis. Um, but you know, it really does depend on how they play out on the court and and how much you sort of value some of the other guys and what they do as well, you know, because I I think that that team is so talented from top to bottom that you have a bunch of untapped potential and and Muel Bridges as a scorer. For sure. Yeah. And and even OG Anobi, you know, there are times where he does some things that you’re like, “Hey, I didn’t know he could really do that.” Um, I personally would like to see more of Male. uh with that team, but I I look at him in a similar way that I look at Keegan Murray. Uh he’s a guy who’s going to be team first and who’s quiet and probably that hurts him in the grand scheme of things when other guys are noisier and demand the ball and have that little bit of a cocky edge to him. Yeah. So, I think it’s going to be a good marriage, man. I do I do think it’s going to be a really good marriage. I’m I’m hoping for the best for Mike. He’s a He again, he’s a fun dude. He’s super honest. um doesn’t hold punches. Uh he’s always got a smile on his face. Again, he’s super funny. Um he makes jokes about himself. He makes jokes about other, you know, just like the situation. Um you know, he’s off the record, he’s even better. Uh just a a really honest to goodness, good man. Uh that I think people will enjoy being around. And I I really wish it would have worked out a different way here in Sacramento because it it should have worked out a different way. There you have it, James. Appreciate your time and and giving us the 401 on Mike Brown and his tenure in Sacramento.
