What happened with the Sacramento Kings GM?
Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily. Before we get started, a little bit of an addendum to the show. As soon as we finish recording, as you know, because you were a part of this, the Sacramento Kings and former now GM Monty McNair mutually decided to part ways. We just got that news. Yeah. What's your initial reaction? I'm sure it's not shock.
Why did the Kings struggle this season?
No, I'm not shocked at all, although it is funny that they let go of their GM after the two major moves that just happened over the last six months. You would think that they probably trusted the person who made those decisions, but nonetheless, this is just another set of rash decisions by the Kings. I'm not surprised that they let go of their GMs. It just shows a history of Vivek Ranadive basically continuously doing this, firing coaches, letting go of GMs, trading players very quickly. Like that's just the way that the Kings have operated. And it's funny because when we talk in the pod about Kings versus Bulls.
Spoiler alert. Yeah.
I have a clear cut.
Yeah. Spoiler alert. We mentioned patience and how that can be a benefit to you. And the Kings, you know, listen, I will say this. They gave it a shot, but you double down on fool's gold. You know, that three seed year, it was very clear that that team had some issues. I don't think anyone should be surprised that they've wound up where they are, except. Yeah. Didn't take that long.
That's the thing. It's really unfortunate from a Kings fan perspective to get to this point, but it is what it is.
Well, anyway, that's our addendum. Now to the rest of the show. Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily. Coming up, the Heat and Mavericks are moving on in the play-in. Christian Clark's here to talk about the Mavericks facing the Grizzlies. And we debate who has the worst future between the Bulls and the Kings. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, us. Good morning, Chicago. Both.
How did the Miami Heat perform in their latest game?
The one in California? Yeah.
No, the purple one.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Play in last night. The Heat looked pretty good. Tyler Hero continuing his most improved player campaign. Try to say that just once and stumble over it. Had 38 points. I mean, the Heat just dominated this game. The Bulls really just they showed nothing. No fight at all. In Chicago, they got booed. Fans were leaving with about five minutes to go. About as bad as you can get for the Bulls.
Yeah, it was funny listening to the broadcast and Mike Breen, you know, the Bulls cut it to like 17 or something.
It turned into a roast.
It turned into a roast. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, they're trying to cut back into this lead. They're down 17 and Mike Breen is trying to get you interested in this game. He's like, all right, well, you know, they're down 17. Let's see if they can make a run in his very casual Mike Breen type of way. But you're right. The heat dominated in this one. There wasn't a soul on the Bulls who could guard Tyler Herroff. There wasn't one single player on there that could even remotely guard him. He was getting tons of opportunities to get downhill. The driving was there, the pull-up shooting. He was feeding Kalil Ware and Bam Adebayo. It was basically free money for what the Heat were trying to do offensively.
Bulls, we've kind of been fans of the fun, interesting season, but now it's over. And now you have tons of questions heading into a pretty interesting offseason for them.
Yeah, for Miami, look, this is a team that they had a weird year, right? The Jimmy Butler saga. The, I don't know, up-and-down play of most of the team outside of Tyler Hero. And Bam Adebayo even had an up-and-down season. But this game, they got contribution from just about everybody. We got to talk about Davion Mitchell. I do believe it's in your contract that anytime he has – A nice game. Anytime Davion Mitchell has an on night offensively, we have to talk about off night. He was five and five in the game. He really has provided a spark for them off the bench since he's gotten there. And it's something it's funny. It feels like Miami always has a guy like that. And he might be one of the best ones that they've had.
