The Sacramento Kings hiring Mark Jackson as their next coach would be the NBA equivalent of lighting a cigarette at a gas station. For the franchise with the longest playoff drought in NBA history and consistent organizational drama, pairing up with Jackson would have serious disaster potential.
The Golden State Warriors’ coach from 2011 to 2014, Jackson, is reportedly the leading candidate for Sacramento’s head coaching job, according to Jake Fischer of Bleacher Report. According to Fischer and NBA insider Marc Stein, Jackson, at this stage, is considered the favorite because he is Vivek Ranadive’s preferred candidate for the job.
