At the beginning of the season, the Kings gave the then coach Luke Watton a military warrant, this season must reach the playoffs, but unfortunately the team after a period of consecutive wins, finally the original form, once again opened their own losing streak mode, the King had to finally fire Wharton Squid, by assistant coach Gentry replaced him as the temporary manager of the team, but the team still failed to break the spell of not entering the playoffs for many years, In the end, it was only 30 wins and 52 losses that ended all the journeys of the 21-22 season.
The Kings sacked Gentry and failed to make it to the playoffs for 16 consecutive league records
Earlier today, the Kings had informed the team's interim manager, Gentry, that he would be looking for a new manager. Counting this season, the Kings have failed to make it to the playoffs for 16 consecutive years, setting a new all-time record in the league. The last time it goes back to the 05-06 season, when the Kings also had bibi, Peggy, Brad Miller, Artest and other old fans familiar names, the result did not think that from then on, the Kings in the playoffs is such a luxury thing, in fact, during this period, the Kings have not been able to turn over the opportunity to turn over, the first round of the No. 4 show in 2009, the rookie season will hand over the average of 20 + 5 + 5 Tyrick Evans, 10 years of Kentucky main interior Line Cousins once became the first center in the West in the Kings, and had the opportunity to help the team make a comeback, but unfortunately, the team's faint operation, there was no patience for the coach, and the Kings never returned to the playoff stage as they wished.
The Kings have changed 11 managers in 16 years, and Adelman is still the most reliable
According to relevant statistics, since the Kings last made it to the playoffs, the team has changed a total of 11 managers in these 16 years, and no season has a winning rate of more than 50%, and this time Kindley's dismissal has unfortunately made him the 12th coach to be dismissed in 16 years. As a famous fish belly in the NBA over the years, the Kings had a record of less than 50% of the winning rate in 15 consecutive seasons as early as the beginning of the 83-84 season, and after they signed Rick Adelman as the coach in 1998, the winning rate exceeded 50% for 8 consecutive seasons, and as a result, in the 2006 offseason, Adelman's contract expired, and the Kings did not choose to renew his contract, since then, the Kings have begun to win less than 50% of the "pendulum" for 16 consecutive seasons.
Player coaches shouldn't be back on their backs! The King's silent management had primary responsibility
In fact, the Kings have not improved over the years, and there is not much to do with the players and the coaching staff, but they have a direct connection with the team's faint management, but as long as they can maintain some patience, so that players can get a certain period of training under a stable coaching staff, it is really not necessarily necessary to refresh the embarrassing record of not entering the playoffs for 16 consecutive years. When McMarone was the King's manager, the team actually showed signs of turning over, but unfortunately the management did not maintain patience with him, sacked him in December 2014, and then coached the Nuggets, Malone also made this Northwest team a regular in the playoffs, and led the team to the Western Conference Finals in the 19-20 season.
In addition to Malone, there is also a very suitable for the King's Joelge, but also unfortunately became a victim, this extremely good at adjusting the defense of the academic coach, once in 16 years to hang the King's coach, the result of 3 years, the management and directly fired others squid, let Luke Walton this mediocre coach to serve as the new manager of the team, after he took office, the previous team hard to build a defensive system all negated, but also let the King once again become an uncompetitive fish belly. This time, Gentry's dismissal is only used by the management as a scapegoat for the team's poor performance, and if the management does not reorganize for a day, the Kings will never want to usher in a turnaround.
