ProBasketballTalk has been told the Kings have a strong interest in George Karl, something that multiple other reporters have heard and publicized as well. Karl has lobbied for other NBA coaching jobs recently and Monday was on SiriusXM NBA Radio and said the Kings are a team that he would be interested in.

Regarding #SacKings, George Karl telling me on @SiriusXMNBA "I'm humbled. If they're interested in me, I'm interested in them" #NBA


Karl said he’s open to starting a dialogue whenever the Kings want. Which maybe should be sooner rather than later.

Back in the 2012-13 season Karl led the Nuggets to 57-wins and was named NBA Coach of the Year. They played an exciting, up-tempo exciting brand of basketball. What the Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé wants. It’s not what they have the roster for, but it’s what he wants. Today anyway.

Karl said recently he wants one more three-to-five years stint as a head coach, he wants one more chance to coach a team and win the one thing that has eluded him, an NBA title. Which is why if the Kings wait until next summer things could get interesting — Sacramento might not be the only team knocking on Karl’s door then. And if we wants to chase a ring there may be teams closer to that goal than Sacramento right now.

There are other rumored names. Chris Mullin is the guy Ranadivé seems to trust most and if he wants to be coach (or GM, or both) he might get that gig. Mark Jackson and Vinny Del Negro’s names also have come up.

But we heard what Ranadivé wants is Karl.

Like I said before Monty is not the coach to lead the Pels to the next level. It's time to cut ties

Yeah. FML.

I was hoping he would stay unemployed until this offseason.

I see Avery Johnson in our future.

I do too, sadly.

Even though I'm fully expecting it to happen, I will still set something on fricking fire when it does.
