The Sacramento Kings are not expected to make Alvin Gentry their permanent head coach coming out of a season in which they didn't make the playoffs. Gentry replaced Luke Walton on an interim basis this season.

Terry Stotts, Mike D'Antoni, Mike Brown and Steve Clifford have been mentioned frequently in coaching circles as potential targets for the Kings.

Sacramento is believed to prefer a proven head coach who can help end their 16-year playoff drought.

Monte McNair worked with D'Antoni previously when they were with the Houston Rockets.

Stotts is expected to be a coveted candidate during this coaching cycle after taking the season off following his dismissal by the Portland Trail Blazers.
