Sasha Vezenkov Wants Out Of Sacramento

The former EuroLeague MVP, now NBA player, is officially done playing for the Sacramento Kings. According to multiple reports, Sasha Vezenkov told the front office that he has no intentions of returning to the team for next season.

It appears frustrations grew after being told he wouldn’t be in the team’s plans for the upcoming season, which includes minutes. While he wants to leave, it isn’t as simple as the 28-year-old wants it to be.

He signed a three-year deal with Sacramento before last season, as next season is fully guaranteed. Sacramento isn’t going to waive him, lose all that money ($6.6 million), and be on the losing side. If anything, it would have to come through a compromised buyout agreement.

Vezenkov has two options, either get traded or come to a buyout agreement. Both options will take time, but the option of him playing for Mike Brown is no longer happening.

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.

Mike Brown Offered $21 Million Extension By Kings

The Sacramento Kings have been evaluating his performance since the beginning of this season, which has raised areas of concern and praise; earlier reports have suggested ownership wasn’t too convinced about extending Mike Brown.

However, management has offered Brown a three-year, $21 million extension. It could grow to a total of $27 million with bonuses, but for right now, it would be sitting at $7 million a season.

It’s unknown how Brown’s desire for $10 million a year, as opposed to $7 million a year, will impact the relationship.

This breaking news featuring Mike Brown and Sacramento has been confirmed by The Athletic’s Shams Charania.

Kings Haven’t Talked About Extending Mike Brown

According to The Athletic, head coach Mike Brown wants to return to the Sacramento Kings, but Sacramento is currently weighing their options.

There appears to be a prove-it attitude towards extending him, as ownership and the front office may be wary of him. This is terrifying in the sense that he is entering the final year of his contract.

His last guaranteed season is 2024-25; the following season is a mutual option. While he’s expected to return next season, there are expected to be some mangled relationships and feelings due to this extension hold off.

Brown has finished his second year of coaching with the Kings, amassing a record of 94-70. His playoff record is 3-4.
