It is now clear the Warriors got the best coaching work out of Luke Walton as he is out of the playoffs once again.

The Sacramento Kings hired Luke Walton with the hope he could turn the team around. Instead, the Kings are out of the playoffs once again as the streak that began in 2007 lives on.

Walton’s Kings could not even qualify for the play-in tournament, so it is hard to have too many positive takeaways from this season other than player development. But Kings fans have heard that story before.

What has become clear is that the Golden State Warriors got the best version of Coach Walton thus far.
