Gery Woelfel: The Kings? situation is getting ugly, er uglier. A league official said George Karl is no longer in the loop on draft discussions.

Broussard is reporting the owner is considering firing Karl now.  This could be the first stage of that.  The rollercoaster never ends over there, huh?

If Karl was in fact organizing a mutiny on the team, he should be fired for cause.

The owner is choosing Boogie over Karl.  This should make all fans of other teams who dream of Boogie getting traded very sad.  He's not going anywhere.

Good for Sacramento. Next step is to fire that trouble-maker.

Nothing is ever easy in Sacramento lol

They're doing the right thing in a star-driven league of choosing Boogie over Karl, but, mannnnnnnnn, they let it drag out long enough.

owner is a dummy imo. Having Cousin as the face of the franchise will set back the Kings for a long time (currently stuck in mud)

The only thing Karl would of done with the reshuffling is made Sac better. He has the track record

again why fire Malone and hire Karl if you knew it might come to this conclusion.   I guess throwing 11 million dollars out the window is like chump change

I guess Vivek is coming around somewhat as an owner.  If the Kings do indeed fire Karl, to me that's Vivek acknowledging that he screwed up by replacing Mike Malone with Karl and making the best of the situation.  That sure beats compounding the mistake by siding with his handpicked coach over his extremely talented (and much less replaceable) star player.

the trouble maker who has a very good track record. While protecting a crybaby who has lead your team to nowhere.   Made you go through 3 or 4 coaching changes.

Hey, I was on this earlier today! :)

"The real question is, will Karl be allowed in the Kings' war room tonight?"

I would not necessarily assume that Ranadive is a better owner because he is firing another coach.

Fire Karl, fire Vlade, and then fire Boogie.

Everyone wins in Sacramento!
