Apparently, this Kings issue was a pretty big deal. I think it's highly likely that one of Karl or Cousins is gone by the trade deadline.

Article suggest nothing of their interest in moving Cousins. Nor should they. George Karl is not exactly a hot commodity -- you ditch him and keep your All-Star center.
Karl is gone soon. Rondo Played awesome last night. He knows if he looks good with the Kings he will get his money and then not play d. LOL

After all, your all-star center IS the main reason for winning so much... oh wait.

But we know how these head coach v. star player confrontations go in the NBA about 99% of the time.....the player wins out.

Then, more times than not, the star player usually helps up out of town sometime later.

Paul Pierce and Doc Rivers worked things out....Players work things out when they decide it is in their best interest to do so.

Rondo's jump shot looks 100 percent better now.  Can't believe it took him this long to finally get it.   Defense effort is still suspect

His beautiful jumpshot is helping him shoot 41% from the field, 22% from 3, and 37% from the line.  Obviously not just jumpshots but he is still shooting pathetically.

even if he misses it looks better.  He folding a follow through "pose"

Sully is doing the same now and it has helped his jump shot

Just to be sure, you're suggesting the Kings should keep Karl over Cousins? He's the better asset? Or are you just being glib...

Hmm, that's weird. I had originally put in there the clause "more likely the former than the latter," i.e. pretty much what you just said. Somehow it didn't show up in the post.
