George Karl wants Cousins gone, but their owner Ranadive came out and said that's not going to happen. What a dipshit organization that is. Karl has a history of butting heads with his star players and Cousins already has attitude issues. Gee I wonder what could go wrong there?
Ranadive has already put a player above the coach, which in this case is accurate but that isn't something you make public. He's awful but he wouldn't even be an owner if Stern didn't want to fuck over Seattle again. -

I've seen mocks that have Okafor going to the Kings at #6 ... if that's the case then you can assume that the Kings will be able to finally pull the trigger on Boogie Wonderland.
Hard to blame Boogie for being a malcontent in an organization who has an owner who has openly opined on whether or not cherry picking would be an effective NBA strategy. -
I don't think Okafor lasts until 6. I'm not a huge Okafor fan, but that would be pretty stupid. I think at minimum he's a 15 and 8 center. An Enes Kanter all offense, no defense type. At his best he's a 22 and 10 All Star. And for all the bullshit about "today's" NBA, when all the other teams zig, you are better off zagging.Tequilla said:I've seen mocks that have Okafor going to the Kings at #6 ... if that's the case then you can assume that the Kings will be able to finally pull the trigger on Boogie Wonderland.

On the Kings front, they are a retarded franchise and should seriously punk the shit out of Karl, if not fire him for letting things get to this point. But the damage may have already been done. They are still years away from being any good with Cousins. -

Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive has considered firing George Karl, who was hired as coach four months ago to help turn around the struggling franchise.
"If you fire Karl, now you can't control Cousins because he'll know he's running the place," the source said. "Now he'll feel like he's telling you what to do."
Lol, nice. Karl gets $11 million guaranteed for 4 months of coaching. -
Wall to wall coverage of the Lakers big #2 pick tonight. The Clippers didn't get this much coverage in the playoffs.
This is the the big test for Buss. From Jack Kent Cooke through Dr. Buss the Lakers rebuilt on the fly and got superstars by hoodwinking other teams. I don't think it is as easy to do that these days but still......gotta make something happen
Ted Stepian isn't going to trade Lebron for that #2 pick. -
Actually, I don't think it's that bad for the Lakers if they can get shit figured out here ...
If they can pull off Boogie for the #2 pick ... and even more so if they can pull off assets (including Julius Randle) to get the #6 pick back, that's the MASSIVE element that will spur their rebuilding.
What are the odds that Westbrook heads to LA when he's a free agent?
If they strike out on Boogie, what are the odds that they can lure Love? Particularly if there is a wink wink deal in the background for Westbrook in the future? If the Lakers get a big, I think Love heads to Portland. IF they don't, I think he heads to the Lakers.
Kobe's crazy contract comes off the books after this season and they can go after a huge piece at that point.
As long as Jimmy Buss does what he does best (be a rich guy that likes to party) and not interfere with the grownups, the Lakers will be just fine. I have 100x the confidence in Jeanie Buss to do the right thing given her background working for her father from the bottom up in his sporting empire while Jimmy was busy doing whatever it was that Jimmy was doing. -
I like the Russell pick.
-
Upshaw to LA? at 27, Love to Lakers?
-
They must think they are getting a big somewhere. I think they keep Russell so the Boogie dream is dead
