The Kings worked hard to build their coaching bench in support of Luke Walton last offseason, bringing in respected assistants Alvin Gentry and Rex Kalamian to helm the offense and defense, respectively.
After a season in which Sacramento finished with the worst defensive rating in the league, Kalamian is on his way out. He is headed to Detroit to join the Pistons staff, per reporting from Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Given that the contracts of assistants aren’t made public, it’s like that Kalamian’s deal was simply up, and he’s moving on to a new opportunity.
Detroit is finalizing deals to hire three new assistants to Dwane Casey’s staff: Boston’s Jerome Allen, ex-Indiana assistant Bill Bayno and Sacramento’s Rex Kalamian, sources tell ESPN.
