Mike Brown Signs 3-Year Extension With Kings

According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania and ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Sacramento Kings have extended head coach Mike Brown to a new three-year deal.

Earlier reports suggested contract talks stalled, with money being a huge factor. However, both sides were able to come to a compromise that still allowed Brown to be paid a pretty penny but not at the $10 million he wanted.

Originally, Sacramento offered Brown $7 million a season; the 54-year-old wanted $10 million a season, as he thought himself a coach who deserved a big pay raise for what he had done to the organization. In the end, both sides agreed to $8.5 million a season.

The official deal will run through the 2026-27 season, with him earning $30 million over the next three years. Mike Brown was entering the final guaranteed year of his contract.

Zach LaVine To Pick Up His $48.9 Million Player Option For Next Season

According to The Athletic’s Sam Amick, Zach LaVine has full intentions of opting into his $48.9 million player option for next season. This season, he stands to make $47.5 million.

The league-wide expectation is that the 30-year-old will not be traded at this year’s NBA deadline. This is wildly due to his massive remaining contract.

However, this upcoming offseason, it is entirely likely to see Sacramento trading LaVine as an expiring contract for the 2026-27 season. Despite carrying the massive contract, they could find value for LaVine from a team looking to clear salary for the 2027 offseason.

This season, LaVine is averaging 19.8 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game.
