    Why Did Sacramento Kings Fire Coach Michael Malone?

    They are 11-13 while playing without Cousins a lot of the time, they have some good young talent, team appeared to be on upswing when fully healthy.

    11-13 in the West is like 4-20 in the East.

    Kings are paying a lot of players big time dollars and its not translating to wins on the court.

    somebody must pay for the Kings failures. The coach is usually the one to get the ole axe to the ball sack

    11-13 vs. a West schedule is like 20-4 vs. the East.

    Owner suggested playing a 4 on 5 defense with a cherry picker upcourt. That should sum up their hoops background.

    Not really all that confusing given the incompetence and general dysfunction of the entire franchise.

    Idiot owners, idiot players ... no coach can or will succeed there. Toxic environment. They just keep burning through coaches because they don't want to identify the real problems.

    Bear you know asking someone to update their record while not having a tracking thread yourself is pretty idiotic.
    Why don't you start a thread with your picks and lets see how you do, actually lets see how long you last.

    This is really the weirdest shit ever. They were having their best start in ages before Cousins went down.

    Shit, even their current record qualifies as their best start in ages and that's with Cousins missing over 1/3 of the games.

    Only "logical" explanation possible, agreed.

    Might be that their owners are just idiots though.

    Reports are Vivek wanted malone to run a 4 on 5 defense with a Cherry picker and he would not. Bleacher report has stated that the interim coach will run 4 on 5 sets.

    That Indian owner had it out for him

    Look for Kings to make a splash in the trade market in the next couple weeks

    If they tread water I would not be surprised to see them hire George Karl mid season

    No disrespect to Corbin but he has proven nothing as a coach. Make a trade, bring in Karl now. Have him lay down the law, play the uptempo style the owner wants and see where the chips fall

    It was a combination of both. Indian owner has never played ball before. Doesn't really know much about it, but wants to implement things like playing 4 on 5, which is completely retarded. Malone was always at odds with him, and really pissed him off when he said publically that he didn't want the team to sign Josh Smith.

    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.

    Well what do you expect when you have an Owner who believes in the skillset of a one Josh Smith....You know..many people complained about the Maloofs and how they chose to run the team...but I think this new Indian fella will give them a run for their money. 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.......

    11-13 is not a record to be proud off. All coaches below .500 should be canned.

    For sure. I had them winning the West.

    But really, I had the "pleasure" of watching them in person last year. and other than Thomas going off, they were horrible.

    They traded Thomas too.

    Speaking of Indians, the Kings should play their 8 foot Indian player. Maybe that will make the owner happy.

    I think the management wants the team to tank (into the bottom 10) so that it doesn't lose it's 1st round draft pick.

    Cousins out they still should be able to win. Every good team can win without their best player. Kings have a talented roster but since Cousins has been out they have looked like shit and thats not acceptable.
