The Kings have agreed with Mike Brown on a four-year deal to make him their new head coach, sources told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The Kings finalized a deal with Brown on Sunday after negotiating over the weekend, sources said. Brown comes to the Kings with a clear organizational mandate: End the longest playoff drought in the NBA and return the Kings to the postseason for the first time in 16 years.
Brown comes with eight seasons of head coaching experience and nearly two decades of assistant coaching runs under Gregg Popovich and Steve Kerr.

Great & smart move by the Kings. Mike Brown will bring much needed structure to the Kings that he brought to Nigeria’s men’s basketball team that upset USA Basketball. Respected by Warriors players and won when Steve Kerr was sidelined during the postseason. Good foundation move. https://t.co/UmGYWO64wr
