According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Sacramento Kings have made the decision to fire head coach Mike Brown. He was under contract through the 2026-27 season.

Brown was in his third season with Sacramento, as he was the head coach to win Coach of the Year in his first season with the team when he led them to their first playoff series in 17 years.

Currently, Sacramento is on a five-game losing streak. Last game, they blew a 4th-quarter 14-point lead to the Detroit Pistons. This losing streak has made them fall to 13-18 on the season.

In each season with the Kings, the 54-year-old had a winning season. He was 48-34 in his first season and 46-36 in his second.

Many speculate that this is a sign that the team will blow it up and start from scratch; De’Aaron Fox’s name has been in trade rumors and reports, which could signal that his time is ending.

Brown was fired minutes before their team plane departed for Los Angeles. He ran practice and talked to the media, but beyond that point, management talked to him and decided to fire their promising head coach.

Doug Christie will become Sacramento’s interim head coach until they find their permanent guy. Christie has been with the team since 2021-22 as an assistant.

According to The Athletic’s Sam Amick, the continued belief coming from the Sacramento organization is that Jonathan Kuminga wants to be a King.

This is revving up even more due to the off-and-on talks between the Golden State Warriors and the 22-year-old.

Reportedly, Sacramento was ready to send a 2030 first-round pick and Malik Monk to Golden State for the superstar prospect. This would have saw Kuminga sign a three-year, $63 million contract.

Whether it is the Kings or another team, to acquire Kuminga, it would have to come through a sign-and-trade.

Kuminga only appeared in 47 games last season. During those appearances, he averaged 15.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists.

In the end, Kuminga wants a larger role than the one he currently has with the Warriors. It’s believed he would get that if on the Kings.

According to ESPN’s Tim MacMahon, the most likely landing destination of Russell Westbrook are the Sacramento Kings. A return to the Denver Nuggets seems unlikely at this point in time.

Other teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder were in play, but now that seems unlikely as well. All signs point to Westbrook continuing his career in Sacramento.

Denver saw sparks of productivity from Westbrook, but management felt as though bringing back Bruce Brown Jr. as his replacement was the better option.

If the 36-year-old were to sign with the Kings, it would his sixth team in the last seven seasons.

Dennis Schroder Signing Three-Year Deal With Kings

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, Dennis Schroder is signing a three-year, $45 million contract with the Sacramento Kings. This offer came to reality after the 31-year-old was able to repair his value through solid play through the end of the season and in the postseason.

The official details of this deal is that the first two years are guaranteed financially, but that third year will only be partially guaranteed.

By signing Schroder, Sacramento adds more security protection to their point guard position. This was something they needed to get done since trading De’Aaron Fox to the San Antonio Spurs.

For the veteran point guard, the Kings will be his tenth team he’s played on for his career.
