Is like to thank Mike Malone for making a hall of fame coach possible. If it wernt for him getting us to 9-7 and looking good the job isn't that disarable. But most importantly if he let the FO hire that below average coach, Gentry that clown would be here as he fails for the next 3 years. Malone saved us and got us the opportunity to get Karl. I love you Malone.
Is there ever an end to this?

Hearing multiple players on Kings do not want George Karl as their coach.

Apparently some folks are turned off at what they see as Karl's social media campaigning for the job.

Yahoo Sources: Sacramento, George Karl progressing on four-year deal worth between $4M-$5M annually to become coach. yhoo.it/1Frgl4i
Finally some real numbers. Cheaper than i thought actually.

Some interesting info in here. Specifically that Vivek insisted on the coaching change despite resistance from the FO. The obviously flies in the face of what they said originally. So either the PR plan they had backfired or people in the FO decided to be "sources" in selling Vivek out.
Either way, just a massively unneeded clusterf.

"After owner Vivek Ranadive insisted on the firing of Michael Malone – against the wishes of his front office, sources said – the Kings struggled under Corbin and turned toward Karl in the past few days."
That's interesting. Haven't heard this relative bombshell before. Means Vivek hired Malone and then fired Malone - not PDA. Does this change way many of us have viewed PDA - if true, I'd say definitely yes. The saga continues.

That right there tells me whoever is the mole leaking to Woj represents the split in this FO as well as an opposing faction. Whoever was Voison's source stated PDA and Mullin flew to Vegas and campaigned for the firing of Malone. Now we're supposed to believe the FO was against it? No, there's at least two sides working against one another and leaking to the media. Vivek needs to grab a hold of his balls and get a hold on upper management. It's chaotic. We need some leadership, Vivek.
We appear to have one side leaking to Woj and Amick, the other leaking to Voison and Bruski. Where Dave falls I don't know.
As I said, hiring Karl helps in some areas but we've still got a war going on in our FO which will ultimately play itself out over the next however many months. Hopefully months, not years.

Oh, dear, if this is true.
Don't know where rainmaker's note is but people who are wildly successful can think that they will be wildly successful elsewhere. The huge problem is that Vivek was schooled in one field and became successful. He was not schooled in basketball.
He's arrogant and hopefully we will come out of this OK. Depends on if he learned anything.

Yes and no.
Obviously D'Alessandro signed off one the move and was okay taking the heat for it. If he was that adamant about it he could have refused or told Ranadive he'd have to make the announcement himself. Considering Petrie resigned in Portland rather than fire Adelman it's not that far fetched. Either his objections weren't all that strong or he's okay with being a yes man.
But it does make a lot more sense considering that D'Alessandro's arguments for firing Malone were laughable and why I had to figure there was some definite behind the scenes issues that weren't going to be brought to light. Makes a lot more sense that you had a very impatient owner who thought he had a better roster than he did and didn't understand what kind of a job Malone was really doing.

We are screwed until Viveks sits his narrow ass down and let's the real basketball people do there job and that doesn't include Mullin. We will end up like the Knicks. Last year knicks/raptors had a deal in place for Kyle ****ing lowery and knicks giving up scraps. Lowery can basically buy his plane ticket until Dolan comes in and vetos the trade and the rest is history. That's our future if this continues.
Ugh......
Vivek....Go away.
You can still be the owner but just....Go away.
What a ******* egoist, arrogant, clueless dipshoot *** ****** ***** **** $#^&*^$*#^@^*#@^&@*#&^$#*^$#&^#$*())@(# ! of an owner.
Go away Vivek...You suck. You are really, really, really horrible.
(in case y'all didn't notice....I really hate Vivek)
