He says the old Kings had a system and teams had to adjust to them. Until our Kings can do that, they're gonna suffer. And there's no way they can develop a system overnight with a change in leadership and direction. He's very complimentary of Cousins and says the guy plays with as much heart as any player he's ever seen.
Doug is happy to be given the opportunity to broadcast (nothing mentioned about Bobby).
He thinks Ben is really improving and working on his defense. Says his improvement on defense is helping his offense. Doug thinks Ben should work more on his steals, that he could get a lot more of them. (Flashback to Grand Theft Christie!)

@mr_jasonjones: FWIW: I'm no longer getting the feeling the front office is sold on George Karl as a coach after the season.

@mr_jasonjones @SactoKingsFan I don't think front office ever was sold on George Karl, as much as fans want it. If they were, he'd be here

Napier is talking about how unbelievably intelligent the FO and owner are. There is a problem with that: Intelligent people can do very stupid things, typically because of their inexperience and hubris. Grant also said that "we need a plan." No we don't need a plan, we need a freaking fantastic plan. We had a plan under Malone that was good. The only way forward is to get a coach that everybody knows is great and then give that individual autonomy within the organization.
Jones says he talked to Cousins TODAY and nobody on the team knew Corbin was going to be the coach the rest of the year until it hit social media last night.
He says they don't understand why Malone still isn't their coach and what they did to get Malone fired. He says they're really confused, since some of them had never won until this year with Malone.

The FO has gone dark. They are not communicating with the players, the media or the fans. Not even sure what that means. The one communication we get is a leak that Corbin has been signed for the remainder of the year.
If I had to guess, there is some major issues being ironed out behind closed doors. Dangerous when it seemingly brings the whole basketball operations to a halt.

The thing to remember is that while Vivek is the majority owner and face of the ownership group, he is not the sole owner. There are a lot of other guys with significant basketball acumen who have also invested in the future of this team. I suspect there is some real in-depth discussion of where the team is and where they want to be going on right now.
he said the players are confused by all of this. A lot of this are angry about Malone firing. nobody is happy basically.
also talked about how the uptempo play is not going to work. DMC isn't even getting over halfcourt a lot of the time on offense. just waiting for someone to chuck and get back on defense.
he only got 12 shots last night in a game where he made 9. This offense isn't working and its not suited to our best player

I don't think Jones has any inside track on the whole Karl scenario. I do think, however, he knows what's going on in the locker room. When he says the players are confused and some are angry, I think he's right.
Angry could be Rudy Gay, who just signed an extension in part because of Mike Malone. Angry could also be Darren Collison, who said publicly he was glad to be coming to play for Mike Malone.
