    New ownership wants an up-tempo offense, while malone wanted the team to rely on defense and its interior advantages. They just clashed on ideas.

    If I was a legit coach in the NBA, I wouldn't take this job no matter how much you paid me. Imagine working for Jerry Jones if Jerry Jones was overly fond of running the wishbone and wanted to sign Terrell Owens right now.
    He should hire Pep Guardiola as coach. That dumbfukk recently said he didn't understand why you couldn't play defense 4 on 5 in basketball and leave a man up front like in soccer

    If that's your reasoning teams would be changing coaches every 10 games.

The firing is clearly a personal issue run amuck...This team had something cookin earlier in the year when Cousins was healthy and even after his injury and subsequent loosing streak...they never rolled over...they play hard for each other and the coach...I wonder if the same will be said for this owner when its all said and done.......
    Agree 100%.

    Easy answer... and I can't believe no one mentioned it.

    They lost to the Pistons. He got fired.

    Word is if Chris Mullin wants to make the move from consultant to head coach, the job is his.

    Really harsh firing, team had a 9-6 record with DeMarcus Cousins which is amazing since they are in the West.

    Really? So according to that math, if we take San Antonio, Golden St., LA Clippers, Cleveland, Memphis, Houston, and Portland, you say they're better than at least 2 of them with Cousins?

    You really should stop embarrassing yourself with your inane posts.

    Malone got a raw deal everybody knows that. But heres the real reasons why he was canned:

    Basically every direction the ownership wanted to go in Malone didnt approve & wanted to go a different direction. He was creating resistance & they couldn't get on the same page. Malone did things his way & he was winning. If Malone continued to win using his ways then ownership would have had a hard time justifying firing him later in the season. Cousins goes down & predictably the Kings drop a handful of games. This opened UP the door for ownership to fire him & call the reason for the firing "disappointment with wins & losses"
    Enter Tyrone Corbin. Now it doesnt matter if he wins or loses the Kings can & will can him when their ultimate plan is ready to be put in place....GEORGE KARL!!!

    The Kings want George Karl as their future coach but they wouldn't have been able to do so if Malone continued to win using his system. This was their chance to get him out & they acted on it. That is the real reason for the Malone firing.

    It seems Mullen is more likely than Karl. BUT it came down in the last hour or so that Mullen does NOT want to step in as coach this season, although the beginning of next season is a real possibility.

    Here is the latest: Report: Chris Mullin doesn’t want to jump in mid-season to coach Kings

    This sums it up. Did you guys hear Kings ownership was exploring the possibility of running a cherry pick offense...? To even think for one second that it could realistically work at any level above rec basketball is insanity

    Franchise would have been better off letting Seattle ownership take over. At least they might have had some competent management.

    I think the Kings want to move, but it's hard to move a winning team so they fire the coach in hopes of the team playing bad. So far the plan is working.
