The Sacramento Kings are broken. Coming off their best season in a decade the Kings managed to destroy all fan goodwill in a matter of four months. It’s actually impressive in its own dysfunctional way.
A 39-win season gave Vlade Divac a reprieve from his own 2-year deadline for improvement, and he was then rewarded with a four-year extension. A 39-win season was not, however, worthy of extending Dave Joerger. Joerger was fired and replaced by Vlade’s friend and only candidate Luke Walton. Walton has been an abject disaster, and fans are calling for accountability.
Normally in a season that’s gone this off-the-rails, the obvious solution would be to fire the coach and begin a new search.
