00:00
You're still kind of getting over this Mike Brown situation in Sacramento.
00:04
I mean, A.K., always great to be on with you, brother.
00:08
Happy New Year to you and the family.
00:11
Listen, this Mike Brown thing is such a damn joke of what went on in Sacramento.
00:17
And I want people to understand, I talked about this on my podcast yesterday, I want
00:21
people to just sit back and listen to me for a minute.
00:24
This is an organization that since the firing of Rick Allerman in 2006, think about these
00:32
coaches.
00:33
And let me tell you something, some of these coaches are damn good ones.
00:36
Eric Musselman, damn good coach, right?
00:39
Reggie Theis, Kenny Knapp, Paul Westfall went to a finals with the Phoenix Suns.
00:44
Keith Smart, oh yeah, Michael Malone, oh yeah, the Michael Malone that went to Denver and
00:47
won a championship.
00:48
Tyrone Corbin, George Corle, basically a Hall of Famer.
00:52
Dave Jaeger, Luke Walton, Alvin Gentry.
00:55
Now one of those guys had a winning percentage of higher than 422.
01:00
Higher than 422, and that's Luke Walton.
01:03
And I'm not going to talk about another coach, but you can kind of go where I'm thinking
01:07
with Luke Walton.
01:08
So at what point do you guys start looking at the organization, right?
01:11
They are a clown show over an organization, right?
01:14
This guy, Mike Brown, got them, was legitimate for the first time in damn near a quarter
01:19
century.
01:21
They go and get DeMar DeRozan.
01:22
Folks, here's the next guy I want to pull up.
01:25
DeMar DeRozan, go look at his track record folks, 16 years in the NBA, only seven times
01:30
in the playoffs.
01:31
DeMar DeRozan, only been to one conference finals, right?
01:35
DeMar DeRozan, they couldn't get rid of you fast enough in Toronto and they wouldn't want
01:39
to bring the year after you got there.
01:41
DeMar DeRozan, everywhere he's gone, the lifespan of the games he's played in, every team, Toronto,
01:50
San Antonio, Chicago, Sacramento, all four franchises under 500.
01:57
And then lastly, De'Aaron Fox, the De'Aaron Fox that came up two days after Mike Brown
02:04
got fired and said, Oh, we had a great relationship.
02:08
Oh, I love Mike Brown.
02:10
Oh, that's the only coach I want to play for.
02:13
But up three, you're guarding the block instead of Jay Nieve in the corner?
02:19
Then you foul a guy in a three-point shot?
02:22
That De'Aaron Fox?
02:23
Or is it the De'Aaron Fox that wanted to play for Mike Brown but didn't sign a contract extension?
02:29
So, which is it?
02:31
And then lastly, I'm going to go to the organization as a whole, front office.
02:36
How do you let a guy walk into your building, run practice,
02:42
run a press conference, leave the building, and then you fire him on a cell phone call?
02:49
Right?
02:50
And then the next day, you have the players first off saying they've got to address the media
02:56
before the front office.
02:58
Sacramento, I said it yesterday.
03:00
Light the beam.
03:01
I unscrewed the beam.
03:04
I stepped on the beam.
03:06
I threw the beam out the window.
03:08
The beam done gone.
03:09
Change the hashtag.
03:10
Light the beam.
03:11
Beam done finished.
03:12
I'm done with them.
03:15
As you can tell, Coach is completely unbothered by what is happening out there.
03:19
Completely unbothered.
03:20
Completely.
03:21
I love it.
03:22
I love it.
