Kings Ask Players If Team Should Fire George Karl
November 11th at 5:36pm CST by Chuck Myron
5:36pm: Karl wanted to suspend Cousins for two games after the center’s
Monday night verbal tirade, Jason Jones of The Sacramento Bee relays.
According to Jones, Divac told the coach that he did not have authority to
suspend Cousins, and Divac refused to grant Karl permission to impose the
suspension.
3:15pm: Karl is indeed in jeopardy of losing his job as soon as this week,
USA Today’s Sam Amick reports. Meanwhile, owners who have minority shares in
the Kings are more frustrated than ever with Ranadive in large measure
because he isn’t consulting with them on decisions, Amick hears from a
source.
2:46pm: Kings vice president of basketball operations Vlade Divac and
assistant GM Mike Bratz asked players during Tuesday’s team meeting whether
they thought he should fire coach George Karl, reports Jason McIntyre of The
Big Lead. The players weren’t sure how to respond, McIntyre adds, though
Caron Butler said after the meeting that the players are behind the coach.
DeMarcus Cousins verbally lit into Karl after Monday’s loss to the Spurs,
though he later felt a level of regret about having done so, McIntyre also
hears. Divac is under pressure as Vivek Ranadive’s interest in hiring John
Calipari to both coach the team and run the front office has ramped up in
recent months, according to McIntyre.
Cousins asked a couple of teammates if he had been too hard on Karl, who
simply walked away at the end of the center’s rant, and they advised him not
to “scream and curse” at his coach the way he had, as McIntyre details.
Karl and Cousins have had an up-and-down relationship, at best, since Karl
took over the team in February, with the two saying over the summer that they
had patched up their differences following reports indicating that Karl
wanted the team to trade Cousins and had sought to do so. Kings officials are
reportedly concerned with Karl’s low energy amid a 1-7 start.
Ben McLemore expressed confusion during Tuesday’s team meeting about his
role, though teammates told him it was to hit 3-pointers and defend, and that
those are the responsibilities of everyone aside from Cousins and Rajon
Rondo, as McIntyre details.
The Kings denied a report over the summer indicating that they had reached
out to Calipari at that point, and Calipari has continually maintained that
he isn’t interested in returning to the NBA, despite persistent rumors to
the contrary. The team’s decisions to draft Willie Cauley-Stein, whom
Calipari coached at Kentucky, and sign Rondo, who played at Kentucky before
Calipari became coach there, were mostly because of Ranadive’s friendship
with Calipari, McIntyre writes.
