Smart move by Kings?
Keith Smart took over Sacramento under some very strange circumstances.
The very public spat between Paul Westphal and DeMarcus Cousins eventually cost the veteran coach his job and brought Keith Smart back to the forefront for his second head coaching sting in the league. The Kings were not going to blow the doors open and make the Playoffs. The roster is too young, plus you had...

T.J. Fredette Trashes Sacrament Kings’ Head Coach Keith Smart
