    They should fire Karl. There are plenty of above average coaches and the Kings are not going to contend right now anyway.

    There are not many dominant young big men in the league, especially ones who showed dedication to overcoming their own attitude issues early in life. Plenty of champions have had the same attitude issues as Cousins, but it took a Phil Jackson or a Larry Brown to transfer that energy from negative to positive.

    The Kings would be morons to trade him, unless they get back an MVP candidate. Whether they have to fire Karl or trade every single player, whatever it takes, they shouldn't trade him. They should just find a good coach who respects Cousins' game and who Cousins can respect. Karl has always been a control freak and that doesn't mesh well with a young guy who's maturity has yet to peak.

    A franchise is probably not going to get a player to respect a coach when they treat him like a diva and fire any coach who he has an issue with. That's a formula for a Lebron-Blatt relationship rather than one built on respect.

    And Karl seemed to do pretty well with an immature Shawn Kemp along with Gary Payton. When you have a coach that has made the playoffs in 20 out of 22 years - and who's teams did far better with him than either before or after - the team should probably recognize that he knows what he's talking about.

    If I'm the Kings, the only players I would trade Cousins for are LBJ, KD, AD, Curry, Westbrook, Harden and MAYBE Blake

    Interview basically said what we been hearing dude doesn't really like cousins like that, doesn't like his attitude, and feels like kings haven't done nothing anyway with him there (kept saying they only won 29 games)

    Either cousins or Karl won't be back I'm 100% sure, cousins won't be back with Karl there. He will demand a trade for sure

    [Jones] I've had more sources confirm the Yahoo report that Karl had contacted teams and players on Kings to get DMC dealt. Oh the fun. (twitter.com)

    Vlade Dade needs to sit Karl down and tell him to chill.
