We’ll watch for an official announcement tonight or tomorrow. I actually don’t know how I would feel about this.
So I keep seeing that people are ok with him as an assistant, but not as a head coach.

I think the first ones to go are guys like Joseph, Bjelica, and probably Bogdanovic. In the short term, the Kings got themselves an above average assistant coach. That said, the numbers are the numbers, and they reek for themselves. .Just thinking that McNair isn’t a basketball guy, Alvin is. He has married twice in his life.
