And Karl is all smiles. Pure robbery.  Nice retirement fund

They should just have Cousins interview and hire the next coach. I'm not joking.

What a joke the Kings franchise is

I bet George gets one more gig.

So after they make a new hire, they'll be paying what - 4 coaches?  Bang up job Kings organization.  Good thing you've got all that Sacramento money to cover your mistakes.

Never should have hired Karl in the first place.

Guard-friendly coach. Not a big man coach. Terrible choice for a team built around a center.

Why hire a new guy?  Just make Cousins the head coach.

He didn't want the Kings' job, but like most people, he does like money. If another team offers him some, I suspect that he will accept it.

I don't think he'll get another offer, though. His team defense was too terrible, especially on the perimeter, and he didn't even try to implement changes.

Hmm... maybe Cousins getting himself fired would get him out of Sactown.

Yup. The plays will be always

On offense "give me the ball, get out of the way"

On defense "work extremely hard , I got to conserve my energy"

Yeah, I think Karl is done.

Wonder if Rondo will return to the Kings. That franchise is a mess :o

Unless the new coach doesn't think he can deal with the Boogie Man.
