Kings owner

[UK2K]

Jason Jones ✔@mr_jasonjones
Sources say Vivek Ranadive is frustrated w/ DMC/Karl rift because Karl said when hired he would not be involved in personnel

Jason Jones ✔@mr_jasonjones
Karl shopping DMC on his own obviously goes against that. Vivek has no desire to trade Cousins

Jason Jones ✔@mr_jasonjones
Sources reiterated Cousins only became open to a trade because he believes Karl does not want to coach him

:lol
DeMarcus Cousins ✔@boogiecousins
What's done in the dark comes to the light ...💯
2:33 PM - 25 Jun 2015

Cousins actually WANTS to be in Sacramento, and Karl is trying to give him away.

:lol :lol :lol

Kings....

[DMAVS41]

How can organizations be so poorly run?

[dazzer87]

Damn DM sounds like cancer......DO it Mitch........:applause:

What part of that exchange makes you think Cousins is the problem?

[JerrySeinfeld]

George Karl hates star players. Kings should have known that when they hired him.

[no pun intended]

Karma for the Kings organization for idiotically firing Mike Malone.

[ArbitraryWater]

I do wanna see him on a good team.. preferably in the East to get that conference up (Raps/Wiz, unrealistic though), but, most good teams are in the West as we know.. imagine DC or Davis going to another elite team in the West.. how ****in unfair would that be. And this conference shit wont be stopped this year, we heard some talk about Silver considering, and now when the off season is here, nothing.... it will continue being this way for years to come, perhaps forever... now 2 West teams also get the top 2 picks :facepalm

[chips93]

is ranadive the current worst owner in the league?

hes had 4 coaches in two years, two general managers, he alienated one by hiring chris mullin as an adviser, and now hired a coach known to meddle in personnel, who has alienated his best player. not to mention draft picks like lyles and winslow wont even workout for the kings.

what a mess

:wtf:

Glove
Kemp
Melo

superstars here :rolleyes:


i think after seeing DMC's work ethics and so forth, he just doesn't want to be bothered and on top of that he's a nutcase who's probably just uncoachable. has great talent tho, so he'll be serviceable but i'm sure it's causing more bad than good with his ways :confusedshrug:

[BlakFrankWhite]

And they can't even sack him...or else they'll have to pay a shitload of money. :oldlol:

[Jailblazers7]

Not familiar with the situation but can the Ranadive literally not afford to fire Karl at this point? If I were him I would Ari Gold the **** out of him.

[salwan]

Stauskas? Stauskas?!?



Stauskas??

[LoneyROY7]

When the grass is cut...

[BlazerRed]

Lol what? The Kings :facepalm

[Lakers Legend#32]

Should have moved the team to Seattle.

[chips93]

stein is now reporting that the biggest tension is between vlade and karl, not vivek and karl.

[UK2K]

It's between everyone and Karl.

I'd be pissed if I was Vlade (the VP and in charge of player personnel)l too, if the head coach is trying to give away star players.

[brownmamba00]

reports coming out now that Karl is getting fired. Looks like Cousins will stay for now.

:lol how long did they sign Karl for? If this is true it's ****ing hilarious.

[JellyBean]

The Kings ownership knew what they were getting when they hired Karl to coach the team. Now they have to deal with it.

[gts]

damn.... :lol

Because they hired a snake to coach the team.

[Levity]

haha what a draft day.

15 mill contract/4years

[Smook A.]

I will always wonder why the Kings fired Mike Malone in the first place. The guy was actually doing a pretty solid job with the team and DeMarcus liked him. I feel bad for the fans. Their team's front office is still ran by a bunch of worthless schmucks.

[SpecialQue]

Crazy how that man's a walking cancer.

[Andrei89]

Pun intended?

Stauskas??
Nik Rocks.

[UK2K]

15 mill contract/4years
He's got 11m guaranteed if they fired him today.

[oh the horror]

Pun intended?




Oooooh :pimp:

to my understanding, mgmt wanted an uptempo type offense, similar to SSOL. it was purely aesthetic for the fans, despite how well the team was playing in their half court, old school offense, while healthy.

pretty ridiculous.

[BlazerRed]

Dude Karl is a ****ing genius. Gets hired, works for 4 months, gets fired and collects a cool 11 mil doing nothing. Or go get another coaching job. Alpha as **** :bowdown:

[Levity]

. Or go get another coaching job. Alpha as **** :bowdown:

dont see this happening anytime in the foreseeable future.

[BlazerRed]

dont see this happening anytime in the foreseeable future.
Don't think he'd mind. Dude can chill by the pool while collecting 11mil. OR swim in a pool of 11mil.

[Optimus Prime]

The Kings :facepalm

Come to LA, Boogie. You'll be playing for rings instead of clowns.

Took a page out of Rex Ryans playbook.

That dude is getting paid twice this season :lol

[daily]

dont see this happening anytime in the foreseeable future.Karl won't get hired again. If he is cut loose because of this no owner is going to hire the guy. The word will spread among the players and nobody will want to play for a backstabbing coach

I agree. Mike Malone was doing a pretty decent job with the team. And if Demarcus likes you, that is a huge plus!!

Had a winning record AND liked by Cousins..

When was the last time the Kings could say they had a winning record?

[hawksdogsbraves]

Dear lord what a joke of a franchise :facepalm

[Bernkastel]

The Kings are so pathetic. :lol

The league should contract them.

[ShackEelOKneel]

Shaq needs to step in and shut this down as well. He obviously loves Cousins' game and he is often critical of other bigs.

[chips93]

mike brown is getting twice, while sitting on his couch :lol

[raprap]

Oh man. :lol

Mike Malone stays winning. :applause:

This. There have been reports that Karl has been leaking all kinds of stuff. Dude went full-on rogue to try and get his way and force the front office into making a trade.

these are all true. Vivek is worse than the Maloofs... at least they were hands-off their first few years.
