It's a shame how little time it took for some fans to become preoccupied by "the how." I'm just saying that I thought it would take at least a whole season before people started being pressed by this stuff; they didn't even wait for the Kings to start losing again.
Reports are that Mike Brown would like to have a contract extension "at market rate." According to what I have read, his contract pays $20 million total for four years, or $5 per year. That means his annual salary comes to less than any of his players except for Colby Jones ($4.14 million) and Keon Ellis ($2.8 million). The next lowest salary is Trey Lyles at $16 million per year.
I had no idea coaches in the NBA made so little. Gregg Popovich makes exactly as much as Trey Lyles. Wow!

Mike Brown may be blinded by some of the new contracts like to Monte Williams in his request. Considering no team was giving him a shot at head coaching for many years and as far as what he has accomplished thus far, I think the $5 mil per year seems pretty fair. I couldn't find a full coaches salary list, but I would guess he is probably right in the middle of pay for coaches, which also seems fair.
After 6 years sitting on the Warrior's bench, Brown was likely anxious to get a head coaching assignment. Negotiations were on the side of management. Now, as a head coach, his negotiation position is improved.
(Oops, doubled a similar post at the same moment.)
Still not sure who will be the "Associate Head Coach", there are some tweets for Luke Loucks but I think they are wrong, probably Doug Christie has the "advantage" in that case.
