Jim Les thinks Doug Christie is the perfect coach to deal with Kings drama

UC Davis basketball head coach Jim Les joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross on Wednesday to discuss the Aggies’ start to the season, why he thinks Doug Christie is the perfect head coach to help the Sacramento Kings navigate the drama surrounding De’Aaron Fox and more.

“I’m not sure there’s anybody better than Doug to help navigate that,” Les said about Christie.

Given the ongoing Fox drama, it’s hard for that not to be a distraction. Still, Sacramento must continue to play through it, with a matchup in Philadelphia against the 76ers on Wednesday night.

The trio also dove into the Aggies men’s basketball start to the season, and the importance of talent both at the collegiate and professional level.

All that and PLENTY of other great conversations can be heard using the link above or on the Sactown Sports YouTube page.

Listen to The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross from 6 – 10 a.m. PST, Monday through Friday, on Sactown Sports 1140.

The Sacramento Kings are considering all options before the February 6th trade deadline, including potentially trading star point guard De’Aaron Fox.

According to ESPN‘s Shams Charania, the Kings “are expected to open up talks to potentially deal All-Star De’Aaron Fox” prior to the trade deadline.

Rich Paul, Fox’s agent, told Sacramento’s front office that they wanted to see what direction the organization was headed in before committing to an extension that would keep his client in California’s capital beyond 2026.

They’ve been previously linked to Utah’s John Collins and Brooklyn’s Cameron Johnson as well, with the team just having spent four days during their ongoing road trip in New York.

We’ll see what direction they elect to go in, but it’s clear that they are considering all potential paths.
