Correction: Divac called Karl while he was at lunch in Phily. Vlade told GK in 5 min convo they will make it work and better defense needed.
LOL you can't make this up

Kings GM Vlade Divac had a lengthy meeting with head coach George Karl this morning in which improving defense was the most notable topic.

How do you even get that wrong in the first place ?

Not excuse, the fact, he was not chosen by Vlade.
What is not the fact is: "owner leaned towards firing".
If you follow the leaks, there was 1-2 folks that said anything, and then retyping army of paper-monkeys that quoted those two.
Since the leak followed our Kings fans agenda, it raised our hopes, we accepted them as true so this development is more shocking than it should be.
Few thingies that make this not such a surprise:
- Vivek has to fork out millions of $$$ to replace the coach, but we take it that he was leaning toward firing.
- Having Corliss instead of Karl does not mean ANY improvement, unless you think Corliss is a long term solution... which I do not agree with.
- The next coach has to be a long term solution. How well finding proper coach under pressure within a weeks works? Just look at the last year.
- We already had "players quit on the coach" discussion... right before the winning streak.
- Absolutely nobody can predict what will this Kings team do next, on and off the court (now this statement borderlines with being the fact )

Jason Ross & Co: #1 you either decide to trade your star player (for great value) or as a franchise you have to change your approach with your star player; they've catered to him for six years. Can you do that? That's a parent laying down the law after six years of coddling. He's not optimistic. They think it probably gets worse before it gets better.

Then Woj and pals picked up with "sources" stories that were mostly just thinly veiled resumptions of their summer attacks on Vlade and Vivek.
In the end the number of obvious and confirmable internal problems never equalled the amount of outside/conventional wisdom pressure.
On the other hand you would have thought it amounted to more than one 5 minute phone call.
They've barely catered to him at all. They dress him in rags, banned his best friend from the house and refuse to let him take the classes he wants. The only way they've "catered" to him is given that he in fact has never been in trouble in school or with the law and understanding what crapty parents they've been, they accept his occasional outbursts without a grounding,

It tells you how much fans should believe these quotes and news released by national writers coming from their anonoymous sources. The first quote was probably just a guess by Spears. These guys.... smh
