Kings assistant coach Bob Beyer leaving to join Pelicans

Beyer leaves Walton's staff to reunite with Stan Van Gundy.
By | 30 Comments | Oct 31, 2020

Sacramento Kings assistant coach Bob Beyer is leaving the Kings to join Stan Van Gundy’s staff with the New Orleans Pelicans, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

Beyer came to Sacramento by way of Oklahoma City, but prior to that he had spent years working with Van Gundy in both Detroit and Orlando.

When Beyer joined the Kings he was known as a coach who had run film sessions and tweaked systems to improve them. It’s unclear if he had those same responsibilities during his time in Sacramento.

This move is likely less about the Kings and more about Beyer reuniting with Van Gundy. We’ll wait and see if the Kings backfill the vacancy on the coaching staff.

The marks the second departure from Walton’s staff. Igor Kokoskov also left the team, as he was taking over European powerhouse Fenerbahce. That vacancy was filled by Alvin Gentry.

Jesse Mermuys and Roy Rana remain as assistant coaches, with Bobby Jackson, Rico Hines, and others in player development roles.

A downvote, seriously?
I mean, it wasn’t great or Tyler made, but surely enough to keep the h8ers at Bey?

If that’s true, Walton definitely didn’t utilize him. Another underutilize personnel in this short Vlade-Walton era

Walton decided he didn’t a second guy watching the tape. That would’ve made Walton redundant.

Bye Bye Beyer and Bye Bye Buddy.

Kings to get 6th or 7th pick for Buddy, use to choose Vassell.

Then Bey or Nesmith when picking at 12. Two gunners on board and payroll down $94K over 4 years.

Grant is, and always has been a piece of shit. A real asshole, trying to use MLK quote. Honestly, fuck him and glad he’s gone.

Doug threw a wrench in Grant’s “I have black friends” defense, and someone is none too happy about it.

I predict in another year or so, when his name pops up we’ll be like “Oh yeah, Grant Napear. Wonder where he is now?”

I guess Beyer felt he had nothing left to learn from Lose Walton.

And why is Bobby Jackson still on the payroll? I used to see him often coaching when my kid was playing AAU ball, but I’m pretty sure that didn’t prep him for a front office role.

I used to ask it about Peja, but I’ll ask it now about Jax: Can anyone explain a tangible benefit to the organization to keep him on the payroll?

There would be a lot of locks to replace. Except on defense.
