Malone fired

**** PDA **** vevik.

No doubt in my mind we are bringing in that clown josh smith. Shoulda known dude was a clown with that stupid crap in the dleague. I know what the differences was between Malone and the 2 clowns . Malone was the only one preaching defense PDA wants this small ball bull crap and vevik wants to run 4 on 5. We all wondered why malone stop talking defense and preached offense he was forced. Cousins, Collison, Gay, landry all love malone and go to bat for him.

I want someone to tell me malone can't teach. Our starting 5 is the best defensive group in the league if we has a bench malone would have lead us to a top 10 record in the league. When your group improves that much it's the coach.

Also what is this win loss nonesense. 11-13 is a success with cousins. But cousins hasn't played in 6 games is that not factored in. None of us thought we would be that good. We are the butt of the joke in dleague and we fired our coach in less than 25 games and again that's with the best player not playing. How stupid is that. Did these fools think we were a 60 win team.

Also to the 2 names thrown out isn't Karl a fast break coach? If so we are ****ed gay/cousins are slow pased players. And mark jackson if hired I will be at sleep train protesting. Dude couldn't even coach a team as talented as GS to a top 8 offense dudes ass.

Now that I'm 100% sure malone had nothing to do with poistionless ball i can say PDA/vevik are fools. They keep talking fast break small ball when you're 2 best players play slow ball should you cater to that.

Style of play factor in Malone's firing, too. Malone's job was in jeopardy over summer, but quick start spared him --- until Cousins injury.
How the **** can this be possible over the damn summer.

Continuing on @WojYahooNBA Malone firing news, source said Kings mgmt was disappointed with the player development, game plans & adjustments



the bold part i totally understand. But i think considering the record before DMC went out, and the fact our starting lineup was #1 defense in the league for a while, i think Pete should have been on the hot seat more than Malone
I don't care about the bold part no matter how good he game planed or adjusted sessions, landry, Evans, cassipi would have to play. All of the are sorry and shouldn't be playing more than 15min. And for the love a god player development. I'm guessing Ben/JT/Gay didn't improve?

"I will get my talking points on this issue from the Kings around lunch, regurgitate them on the radio, and do a poor man's Mike Francesca impression with anybody that disagrees with said talking point."

I think PDA is at fault as well cause was he not the guy there in Denver when they ran that up and down system I assume that's why Vivek hired him in the first place.
Ultimately, Vivek writes the checks. Perhaps PDA never wanted Malone on board in the first place in which case, that's purely on Vivek for putting together two heads of the organization together who didn't want the same things.

Just a strange, strange move to make when we've been one of the surprise teams in the NBA this year and the main reason for our recent collapse is us missing Cousins
 
what the holy crap. this is unacceptable behavior. i'm in total shock. things were starting to look bright for the first time in a decade, and in the span of two weeks we complete an epic downward spiral right into the ground.

fun while it lasted...I guess?

So odd when Malone was Vivek's guy and praised repeatedly by Vivek, although the philosophical differences with PDA were pretty obvious. I am hoping the players will respond with Corbin. Can't say Corbin inspires a lot of confidence after his stint in Utah.
 
Ty Corbin is an awful head coach.

I can't believe Sacramento fired Malone who did well when he had his best player in the lineup.

This would be equivalent to OKC firing Scott Brooks for the Thunder's crappy record when Durant and Westbrook were out. But Presti isn't that stupid.

I could see Cousins demanding out of Sacramento now.

Well OKC should fire Brooks for other reasons, but that is a different discussion.
 
The worst thing is thinking about the press conference for the new head coach when Vivek says.

"When I came here I asked Pete to go get me George Karl. And now he's here... As my friend Steve jobs once said"
 
What the flipping french toast????

Malone's had issues certainly, but nothing close to him needing to be fired, especially without Cuz in the lineup
Thats so funny I just got done slurping up my consoling plate of french toast

such a cliche lose 8 of 10 fire the coach

i hope someone talked to Demarcus first!

Another long-term candidate to monitor for the Sacramento Kings coaching job, league sources tell Yahoo Sports: Vinny Del Negro.

W...T...F...!!!!!!!
We are ****ed simple as that we will never win a championship with the clown fest in the FO. Del Negro sorry ass had bad offense with ****ing chris paul running point and derrick rose.

Dishearting knowing we will be playing minimal defense and look like the PDA nuggets and small ball GS teams.
