Wow, so Karl has been campaigning to DMC's own teammates (!!!) to get him traded?!?! Ugh...
Why us?
Why us?

It might not, but, and let me clarify by saying if this is true, we're seeing the same mistake made again by Vivek.
Hired Malone, then hired PDA. Ended with a nightmare of a season. Then, hired Karl, later brought in Vlade who's been clear he's running this thing. At the least, they don't appear to nearly on the same page. At the least this appears to be Karl leaking to PDA who's leaking to Woj, insubordination against Vlade. Vlade's trying to silence leaks and we have our coach pushing this crap? That's how it appears at least. At the center of it again is our franchise player.
So if hiring Karl was the mistake, Vivek has to step up ASAP and correct it. He just went through this for Christ's sake. There's issues when you bring in a coach who wants one thing, then later bring in a GM/Vlade who wants another.

No it really isn't. Boogie can't "demand" a trade with 3 years left on his contract. What are you gonna do, go up to your boss with 3 years left on your contract and demand to be shipped to a new department? Seriously? Your boss would lol at you. I work in a field similar, insurance for an independent State Farm agent. I have tried to explore other opportunities. The agent cashing my paycheck is the one I have to work it out with. If I want to go to another agent, something would be worked out between those parties. If my agent wanted to keep me, guess who will still be writing my check.
Jason Jones @mr_jasonjones 10m10 minutes agoThe Kings can't go into this season with this. I think Boogie's eventually out of Sac and he doesn't want to go.

We have to let the front office we won't stand for a DMC trade? Maybe a twitter campaign?

It's late and I need to sleep. I've been trying to subtly (and not so subtly) hint for a while. Guess that ship sailed.I'll explain tomorrow

Just don't shoot the messengers.

Unfortunately you don't hire a coach like Karl without letting him interfere with personnel decisions. If you wanted someone who would just coach, they should have just grabbed an assistant 1st time coach.

How do we get an article from Sam Amick quoting Vivek and Vlade adamantly denying trading Cousins and just one hour later we get a Woj bomb that George Karl is pushing for Cousins to be traded??? Why is firing GK not an option? Pick up Tom Thibodeau (I think he's available) or bring back anyone else. This is ridiculous!

It's pretty simple, if Vlade/Vivek are 100% against trading Cuz, as they say, they've got to clear out the guy, our frickin coach, who's directly going against them. Eat that contract or say adios to our franchise player. Tough decision to be in but it's Vivek's creating. Have to make the tough choice.
As an aside, every Kings fan deserves a badge of honor for putting up with this crap. No other fan base deals with half this ****.
As an aside part II, this mess is going to hurt is in free agency. Just making Vlade's job that much tougher.

I think Karl's campaigning for a DMC trade (if true) crossed the line - if firing him makes DMC happy then please do it.

DMC is all about trust. No way he trusts George Karl now. Add the front office to that and it's all bad. But he's not the only one.

Woj cites anonymous sources, as in someone with an axe to grind. Amick quotes Vivek and Vlade.
There's skullduggery afoot here, big time.

I bet PDA leaked the Karl pushing for trade headline. Seems like a PDA-era type of leak.

Section A of your post doesn't coincide with section B. In section B you tell people not to run while covering their heads because this is going to be fixed, and in section A you admit that the sky was falling.

Who gives a **** how many coaches we fire. This dumbass is running the best player we will ever have out of town. Just think about how ducking dumb can you be like the players won't tell boogie what's happening. Fire that fool NOW.
Also I'm sure Divac is pissed he told that dumbass he overstepped the line last time. This worse.

This is some serious BS. And I thought the Niner FO had issues. Always some jackass ruining it for the fans.

This sounds like someone making up stories and pushing rumors forward....as a ploy to distract Vlade and crew, while they're trying to focus on huge decisions.
I'm not buying it yet. Will wait and see what happens in the next couple days

I don't know. This is a little specific to just be throwing darts.

Ok, I normally resist the obvious, but this would be the ultimate I TOLD YOU SO moment with George Karl. Why I was urging caution while people just saw the career win total. He has always been a diva, been trouble, and had all the wrong personality traits for Cuz.
Now the one hesitation with the normally ultra-reliable Woj is that his reporting on the PDA departure certainly seemed to be coming from PDA himself. A hope here might be its the same source this time. And PDA might well be right, but shorn of his front office ally Karl might still be tamed now.
As for the that ****ing old man, he hasn't earned any of this. He's nto a Sacrmento King at all. He's a user. A new old tumor on the franchise. But his very act of negotiating a 4 year deal makes him essentially unfireable. We may have committed the Bill Russel mistake all over again.

If this is all fake, we need an emergency press conference with Divac, Karl and DMC. Otherwise I am going to believe the reports.

And brothers and sisters, this has been circling for months. Gained steam weeks ago. Now at least the room has mirrors.

Yeah. I feel like this is the one last big argument with a girlfriend that never really worked and after, everyone just kind of walks away. I may finally be ready to walk
Not to be a jerk to Dave who has his own reasons to do things his way but instead of hinting at "stuff", why not just come out and say it.
