Rondo and Cousins are on the same team. Karl doesn't have a shot

And neither does the team. Rondo has to be one of the most dislikable guys in the NBA.

They totally quit against the Spurs the other night. The way they played the 4th quarter was a joke

From reading Amick's article it sounds less like this is a Cousins/Rondo thing and more that their owner is fricking insane

Well their owner is insane, but isn't there a report right now that Cousins cursed out Karl recently in front of the entire team?

Found it:

Cousins is uncoachable
Even Calipari almost went to blows with him at UK on the bench.

Cal loved Boogie

Hence:

quote:

he’s desperately trying to make that happen because he knows the team’s publicity-craving owner, Vivek Ranadive, wants to make another run at Kentucky coach John Calipari in 2016.


quote:

Adrian Wojnarowski reported in June that Ranadive was interested in Calipari, and that interest has developed into full-blown man crush in recent months. The Kings over-drafting Willie Cauley-Stein 6th last summer was mostly due to Ranadive’s friendship with Calipari. Ditto the signing of Rajon Rondo.

In early October, The Big Lead has learned that Ranadive cleared everything off his schedule one week to jet to Lexington, Kentucky at the last minute at the behest of Calipari for a Kentucky basketball event.

Drake popping up courtside in Sacramento this week? A Calipari thing.

Huh? Karl wasn't even hired until this year (second part of last season).

Okay. I saw Matt Moore mention a big lead story, but didn't get to read it. Amick's basically just said the players are frustrated.

That quote in the big lead story about them asking all of the players in a meeting if Karl should be fired is just crazy.

Let me rephrase that... There was talk of Karl getting fired in June, right when last season ended. To the points where the Kings owner hired a lawyer to find a loophole in Karl's contract that would allow them to fire him without having to pay him his full buyout. And reports also said that Karl was no longer in the loop on draft and personnel discussions.

This isn't a new development in Sacramento.

Did anyone ever see the real sports segment when randive first bought the team? It was a few years ago but I recall a large portion being devoted to Vivek turning around his daughters pee wee team by increasing the pace, then discussing how he wanted to apply those lessons to his nba team.

Frankly if that memory is wrong I don't want it corrected because it makes me laugh every time I see how badly the kings are being run since he took over.
