Yeah, I think maybe not making the best use of Garcia could easily be part of the problem.
Everyone has their talents. What is great leadership is knowing how to put each individual in the best position to shine. Or at least perform as well as they can and contribute to the success of the whole with the things they are good at. To me that is the hardest part of coaching or managing a group of people.
Hopefully, Garcia will learn from his mistakes. I'm sure he wants to get better.

why the hell did quincy douby bearly play?
they should have got him involved earlier in the game....mussleman really made me frustrated, i was at the game, we couldnt hit any threes....we also needed a spark in the 2nd quarter, he coulda been it....musslemen took too long to put him in, and he was forced to shoot when he was put in

"I'm goin' with the Lakers" - Vlade Divac
I live here in LA area and watched the game thru KCAL. During a 2nd quarter break, Vlade was interviewed and was asked who he was rooting for in a game like this. Vlade said the abovementioned, but was visibly uncomfortable in saying it....he said it only after he mentioned that he was now working for the Lakers...awwwww, Vlade....
Why didn't we allow him to retire as a king?

Yep. KMartin was taken out of the game due to his lack of size/strength (which lead to his inability to contain Luke Walton), so I don't see how there was a place for Douby on the floor, unless he was going to run when Farmar and Sasha V. were out there...but those were the times when KMartin and Bibby were having the most success attacking the Lakers' perimeter defense. To take out either of those two (on a night when KMartin's minutes were already limited and Mike was having a vintage Bibby-vs.-the-Lakers game) in favor of Douby would've have been too speculative a move, imho.
Oh wait. I have one more...
OH LOOK! There's Vlade!!!!!
...sniff, sniff...

So, not only did the Lakers take down the Kings in the 2002 WCF, but one of the key plays made by a King which determined the outcome was inspired, so to speak, by the actions of the Lakers. Is there no escape?
It's not really about the money, imho. It's more like Vlade didn't get the feeling that he is still wanted here...sigh...after all he's done....and the Lakers showed him that he is still wanted, and they even gave him his present job. We should've been the one that did all that. I'm sure he would've been a great asset to the Kings organization.
There's more to the story. Vlade has a great respect for Magic Johnson. It was the Lakers that brought Vlade to the NBA, and made his entire career possible. When it came time to end his career, Vlade had a choice. He went with the Lakers for a number of reasons. He still cares deeply about the fans in Sacramento and cherishes the time he spent as a Sacramento King.
