Back in December, when the Sacramento Kings announced the dismissal of Mike Brown and the team seemed to suffer a miraculous recovery, Doug Christie ran as the favorite to continue occupying the bench once his interim ended. Things have changed a lot, and with a new manager general as Scott Perry, the safest thing is to continue changing.
The Executive has clarified at the press conference for the end of the season (more as prelude to the offseason in your case) that you will have a decision made next week. For better or eval from Christie.
In the second half of the course the team finished falling. The march of De’aaron Fox meant not only a downturn at the level of the template, but to finish losing the identity built by Brown. Sacramento ended the season being a team that attacked badly and that still did not defend enough. Dallas passed over them at the play-in.
This and the sudden availability of coaches (Taylor Jenkins, Mike Budenholzer and a Mike Malone that in a thousand lives returns to the Kings) greatly complicates Christie’s continuity. Although this is not the only decision that Perry has to take in summer, if it will be the first.
