Malone fired
- Thread starter fursty13
- Start date
I'm more irate now than last night. This is ****ing unbelievable. Complete incompetence.
I hope the players come out and get blown off the court on Tue, 17,317 boo Vivek and chant for Malone, and when Vivek comes out at halftime, the whole arena boos him off the court and starts throwing **** at him. Delay the start of the 3rd.
Make a spectacle out of it. Let the whole country know the fanbase isn't as dumb as our FO and owner. Let the nation know these clowns don't respresent the fanbase who without us, wouldn't have been able to buy and keep the team here.
That's the only way it appears Vivek might learn and the message gets through the combination of his thick skull and arrogance.

It could be worse now. Until the Maloofs ran out of money, we used to be NBA Siberia and inept. We are poised to turn this into a circus and routinely be viewed as a joke outside the Sacramento media bubble, not because we are bad. Instead, as a fairly accurate reflection of our dysfunction and insanity.
And it's not just players. What coach or GM wants to sign up to work for an owner that will constantly tie his hands, nit pick, want to rap about coaching 7th grade girls, fire you at the drop of the hat and trash you on the way out.

Fortunately that is just picking up on some semi-speculation in the Woj article of the "logically the owner is a bleeping idiot and the interim coach has no power to say no, so..." variety.
To say that I would go ballistic on this organization if we caught an actual hint of that oncourt is an understatement. I'd probably start poking around in Vivek's finances and see if there was any strike suit that could be rustled up to cause him the same pain he is causing everybody else by being a clueless busybody.

Another good article, and this tidbit:
Malone now joins Shareef Abdur-Rahim on the list of ousted employees the Kings hired before D’Alessandro and Chris Mullin — the latter a top adviser who has Ranadivé’s ear. Abdur-Rahim expressed disagreement with D’Alessandro, Mullin, and Mitch Richmond during the draft process, and left the team shortly after an argument on draft night, per several league sources.
and
Malone was absolutely threatened by the team’s move over the summer to hire a lead assistant from a pool that included Alvin Gentry, per several sources familiar with the matter. (Three league sources say Gentry was uncomfortable with the possibility that the Kings were setting him up to succeed Malone, and ended up taking an assistant job under Steve Kerr in Golden State.

Obvious the PDA/Mullin crew is taking over and removing anyone in their path.

Kings like the uptempo offense that new interim coach Tyrone Corbin was running with the summer league team that won the title in Las Vegas.
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports:
The owner played the part of a fantasy league owner, treating the Kings like a science experiment. He shared tactical experiences with Malone about coaching his child’s youth team, and pressed him to consider playing four-on-five defense, leaking out a defender for cherry-picking baskets. Some semblance of that strategy is expected to be employed with Corbin now, a source told Yahoo Sports.

Some NBA execs curious about Chris Mullin's desire to coach Kings: "All he has to decide is that's what he wants and job is his," a GM says.
Wow just Wow.

Mullin needs to leave. He just sits on the sidelines acting all happy go lucky when he is behind the scenes dismantling any good we had and getting rid of anybody who disagrees with him.

anybody find any national media type not flat calling the firing stupid, yet?

This sucks.
Vivek is a horrible owner, I don't care if he helped keep the kings in sacramento.
If somebody adopts a child, then proceeds to starve and beat the kid, people don't say "at least they got the child out of the orphanage." A person would say "They aren't fit to be a parent."
Vivek isn't fit to be an NBA owner. He's a meddling megalomaniac who doesn't know **** about the game and he's about to turn our team into a joke.
