    Kings interview Del Negro, Jackson and Mitchell for Head Coach position (Yahoo News)

    I do wonder if part of this process is just gathering information from around the league of what think of his players and what they would do with them. Maybe try to come to a consensus of what to do with Cousins, whether to keep Rondo, etc. Not to say that Divac can't make these decisions...

    A Stats Thread: What the Numbers Say About Rondo and Gay

    It is interesting that the main premise and discussion of this thread is about the importance of Cousins, a selling point to keep him. Similar to one of your earlier threads which showed the difference in scoring for the team when Cousins is on and off the floor and compared that to other star...

    George Karl did too.

    ESPN: George Karl fired (edited title)

    I'm with you on Mark Jackson and Vinny Del Degro. As good as the Warriors were with him I think we know it was more about the players. Also even though the players seemed to like him it was reported on multiple occasions that Jackson kind of held them back in certain ways. For example he didn't...

    ESPN: George Karl fired (edited title)

    Not exactly true when it comes to Popovich. Perhaps at first he leaned in the direction of adapting more to his players, but at the same time he slowly implemented his system, little by little. He also had a very talented roster which made things easier. Over time the Spurs became more about the...

    DMC's comments after the game

    I'm with you on that one for sure. I've actually been a Karl supporter this year for longer than most I think, but I'm fed up at this point. The more interviews and press conferences that I watch he just seems to not really care. Almost every time he says something along the lines of, "We're...

    Contract extension for Divac + David Morway

    This is a great move! One of the few moves this new organization has made to promote stability. Also look at the first year resume, I think Divac has done a very good job. The biggest problem was the coach that he didn't even hire. Add to this an assistant general manager who is a salary cap...

    DMC's comments after the game

    Karl is gone and I think the players know that, perhaps officially. Something over the last few games has brought these players together, you can see it in their play, win or lose, they are inspired. Something has changed behind the scenes, let's hope that we don't win too much and lose that...

    DMC's comments after the game

    Totally agree! Karl gets little to no credit for Cauley-Stein's development. Karl has stuck Cauley-Stein on the bench all season and refused to play him for any meaningful minutes outside of five minutes here or there. To be honest, Calipari plays a part in this too with Cauley-Stein's days in...

    How did we manage to do this to ourselves... twice? (pick swaps)

    Hard to know what the best option is, I guess we just wait and see how it plays out. It would be nice to win and give the pick to the Bulls this year so we are finally done with that obligation. However if we keep the pick this year then basically we keep our pick and the Bulls are stuck with...

    Thought Experiment, Do you Keep George Karl If He Makes the Playoffs?

    If this team somehow makes the playoffs with the brutal schedule ahead then Karl should definitely keep his job, he would deserve it, would be a disgrace if he got fired. It's amazing to me how so many people want to blame him for everything when things go bad and then if things go well it must...

    Ben working with Kings to find a new place to play?

    Just that McLemore has always been a poor defender and an average at best 3-point shooter, this is one of his better years actually. Normally he would be in the bottom quadrant. For Rondo he should already be there defensively, I do think his steals throw off the number somewhat and I think this...

    Ben working with Kings to find a new place to play?

    Every statistic has its limitations, but just by watching the games I would say this does tell a realistic story. All players except for Rondo on the below average defense side with Rondo barely above and it is probably because of his steals. Also shows that even though we are an improved...

    Ben working with Kings to find a new place to play?

    It probably has, just like it probably has for many of our previous and current players. There is one thing worse than having a bad system and that is having no system which is what we have. We have had numerous coaches with numerous systems and numerous players to go with it. With that many...

    Kings Plan On Searching For New GM, Coach In Offseason

    I think this whole searching for a new general manager thing is way overblown. The team is not going to replace Divac, he has made good moves so far and all indications are that he gets along well with ownership and the players. All the team is probably going to do is get an assistant for him...
