“Go to the Lakers”: Fans Recruit Mike Brown as Kings Fall $9 Million Short of Ex-Warriors Coach’s Expectations

Because of years of consistent failure, the Sacramento Kings had become the league’s laughingstock. After missing the playoffs for 16 straight seasons, it was hard for anyone to treat them as legitimate competition. But in just two years, they have managed to turn it around. A lot of their success has to be credited to their head coach, Mike Brown, who took that responsibility in 2022. However, with Brown looking for a new deal after the two successful seasons, the Kings have reportedly not met his expectations yet, leading to many turning on GM mode.

As per NBA Insider Shams Charania, the Kings have put forth a competitive 3-year offer of $21 million through 2026-27. While the deal also includes a $27 million bonus, there has been no agreement between both parties. That is because Brown is believed to be seeking $10 million annually, leaving the current offer nine million short.

And Brown might be right in expecting so. Before he arrived in Sac, the Kings had only won thirty games the previous season. But the year Brown joined, the Kings took a massive leap and finished as the 3rd seed and won 48 games. Yes, they were not able to get past the Warriors in the first round, but Brown won the Coach of the Year trophy for his efforts. Even this season, he led the Kings to 46 wins. So, with the team heading in the right direction, Brown would deserve to be rewarded for sure.

New destinations for Mike Brown have already been prioritized by the fans!

Fans leaped at the opportunity to recruit Brown as the head coach of their favorite teams. And one team that is desperately looking for a good coach to fill the vacant spot is the Los Angeles Lakers. So, one LeBron James fan, as suggested from his display picture and username, tried to lure Brown to LA, “Mike Brown should go to the Lakers.”

Laker Nation soon jumped onto that bandwagon and started making speculations about Brown heading to LA to take the head coaching job. Another individual made the same prediction!

The Lakers are currently neck-deep in the recruitment process for a head coach. But they are yet to find the right candidate. And with Brown’s proven Championship experience, he could be the perfect choice. Here’s another individual who’s made his wish loud and clear.

Hearing that Brown might be available, fans from the Golden State Warriors also started pleading with him to return to the Bay Area!

One netizen even declared Brown a “WARRIOR”. Before his Sacramento job, Brown worked as an assistant coach at Golden State for six years and won three titles. So, the fans there absolutely adore him. And would love for him to lead them to another ring.

While fans from different teams try to rope in Mike Brown, it is unlikely that the Kings will let go of the head coach. With his Championship experience, they can be a legitimate contender if they improve the roster. And there are not many coaches better than Brown left in the market to lead the Kings to their goal.
