Report: Kings made Brown ‘competitive’ three-year contract offer originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The Kings and coach Mike Brown have exchanged numbers, but there is still no contract extension agreement between the parties.
Sacramento has made Brown a three-year contract offer worth $21 million, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported Thursday evening, citing sources.
The Sacramento Kings have made a competitive offer to head coach Mike Brown for a contract extension — three years and $21 million through 2026-27, up to $27 million with bonuses, sources say. No agreement so far. It is believed that Brown is seeking approximately $10 million annually.

Charania reported that the Kings’ offer includes bonuses that could bring the total value of the deal to $27 million.
According to Charania, Brown wants a contract that will pay him at least $10 million per season.
The latest news comes six days after ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Brown and the Kings had tabled talks due to a rift in negotiations.
Brown, 54, has one guaranteed year remaining on his current contract and is seeking an extension that would make him one of the highest-paid NBA coaches.
On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Clippers and coach Ty Lue agreed to a five-year, $70 million extension, Charania and The Athletic’s Law Murray reported, citing league sources.
The Kings have a big offseason ahead of them, and the first order of business is figuring out what the future holds for Brown, who is 94-70 in two seasons with Sacramento and broke the franchise’s 16-season playoff drought.
For the time being, the parties appear to be far apart in terms of contract terms.
