Karl's agent wants Bobby Jackson fired

Nope, you just can't make this stuff up.

After a blowout loss to Brooklyn last week, Jackson's co-host mentioned that Karl was hired after last year’s All-Star break. Jackson countered, “It can be post-All-Star break that he can leave, too. There ain’t nothing wrong with it. It’s just the business.”

Karl's agent, Warren LeGarie, told the Register in an email that Jackson should be fired or suspended. “(There's) no place for that in a legitimate organization,” he said.

This from the guy whom many suspect may have been complicit in the leaks about GK both before and now? What a crock.

 

[Sac.Kings]

That's the key phrase there isn't it? Well Karl's agent, there ain't nothing legitimate about us, except that we legitimately suck. Suck it up buttercup.

I called it that night didn't I

It's to the point now where I won't be surprised by anything that happens. Hell, we could sign Kenny Thomas as our new GM and Quincy Douby as our new Head Coach and I wouldn't bat an eye. But this??? George Karl's agent coming out and calling for Bobby's dismissal? Welcome to the MonkeyHouse.

If Karl was coaching properly, Bobby wouldn't be making those comments.

How about getting your client to coach like his life depended on it and implement something that suits this roster? Like I siad, flashing your number of wins doesn't get the buy in from the players especially when the coach has the sort of history of run ins everywhere he has gone. Respect and trust are earnt, not demanded.

Keeping Karl makes me question how much loyalty I should have as a fan. Firing Bobby would remove all doubt. Fortunately this comes from an agent, one life form above PR exec in the swamp.

Why am I not seeing that happening?

Because Vlade will let everybody in organization know. If you do this, you might as well have moved to Seattle

Wasn't there a picture of a bunch of Kings with John Salmons today? Don't tempt fate!

 

[sdballer]

I wonder if Karl and his agent feel as strongly about their star playing getting ripped regularly by the team play by play guy

 

[gunks]

**** show.

I love this team!

 

[Merdiesel]

**** this ***hole.

I'm the paying fan, Im the customer and I loved what Bobby said. He was pissed off like us and had a right to be. He was spot on.

I don't care how bad he is as an analyst, they fire him over that BS and I'm boycotting this team.

 

[fansinceday1]

It must be so easy to be a beat writer for this team. There is always drama going on. ALWAYS! They are a hot mess.

Karl ain't got no loyalty to Sacramento. Bobby J bleeds purple.
Karl's agent can go pound sand.

 

[Spike]

Karl's agent can go crap in a hat.

What basketball game does GK's agent think the fans were watching before Bobby came on to brainwash them?

Karl's agent can go poopoo in a hat.

Karl's agent can go kick rocks.

Karl's agent makes all Kings Fans

 

[swisshh]

Seriously, if Karl wanted to influence the fans to go against him and influence a firing then having his agent go after Bobby is a fine way of doing so.

 

[The_Jamal]

I mean of course he does. Who'd want their client getting called out like Bobby has been doing for the past week or so?

Similar to Cousins agent and the supposed beef with Karl coming aboard. Just agents trying to show they matter and act like they have any kind of pull.

 

[King Baller]

The irony here is that Karl has been spared being fired and now his mouth piece wants Bobby J fired.

 

[dude12]

Bobby was preaching. The agent should not go down this path with Bobby or Christie.

Notice this report didn't come out before Vlade announced to the world that George Karl would not be fired (yet).

Bobby Jackson speaking his mind is what finally called overwhelming public attention to a whole list of ongoing issues with the defense that needed to be discussed. If whatever changes George and his staff implement to recover this season actually have a positive effect, than George Karl's agent should send a hand-written thank you note to Bobby Jackson along with flowers and a generous assortment of his favorite chocolates. He may have saved your client's job in Sacramento.

Karl's agent can go poopoo in a hat.

Would you hold the hat? Or would you put it on the ground?

Either way it doesn't seem easy.

I know exactly where I would put the hat.

It's his hat. I'm a polite guy, but I have my limits.

 

[Sluggah]

Strange. MY agent wants KARL fired. Go figure.

As a psa there is still plenty of room on the Jazz bandwagon . Not asking you guys to change alliances permanently but we have a solid ownership group a great coach and we play hard every night. The best thing is that we are finally getting healthy.
