Breaking -- The human race has waived Josh Smith: 2014-15 regular season thread part 2

Sources: Kings and George Karl's rep will re-engage Monday. Front office has recommended hiring, deal terms are close. it's on owners now.

this is so dumb. they're not making the playoffs, might as well tank away with Corbin.

vivek is too idiotic/delusional to be that shrewd

i think there's something to be said abt getting a guy in who boogie can work with. given his record, karl is presumably such a dude.

wonder why boogie doesnt want to f w him

there are reports that boogie isnt on board with karl, tho according to marc stein they are not v substantiated. i wonder why karl even wants this gig tho, i guess he really has the itch to coach again and he'd be given a top-10 player to work with, but that roster ain't doing anything in the west anytime soon

ya one wld think he cld wait around for a better job, maybe hes not popular these days tho idk

heard somewhere that the kings were gonna wait til offseason but orlando opening made them worried karl wouldn't be available. hiring him now though would give him a chance to know the roster and what he wants/needs to do w/ it going into the offseason and it's not like they won't still be a lottery team plus vivek gets to save face sooner. if i was karl i'd wait for orlando.

ya srsly orlando is a great job w a talented young team and a smart GM where sacto is literally hell w a no nothing meddling owner who will try to draft nick stauskas every year until the earth goes dark

also orlando is in the east

only thing sacto has going is the best player of the two teams

personally i would like to see Karl land elsewhere thus opening the door for chris mullen to enter the coaching world. partly at least bc he's been in viveks ear giving advice and look how far that has gotten the team. can't imagine where they go with him driving the buggy.

agree mullen is destiny in sacto

seems like he doesnt want the job tho?

@SpearsNBAYahoo
Kings interim coach Tyrone Corbin has been told he is coaching the next two games going into NBA All-Star Break, a source told Yahoo Sports.

please show up to work this week before we fire you

Nah, I ain't pumped up. I just got a lot on my mind. The crazy thing about it? I just got a question for y'all: how you gonna stop God's plan? How you gonna do that? How you gonna do that? That's what I want to know. How you gonna stop God's plan?
Man, this city done put me through so much. I done stayed loyal to it the whole time. Hey, I just want to know how you gonna stop God's plan. God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers. The marathon continues. I'm out.

Demarcus Cousins, on playing for the Sacramento Kings.

xps to goon - i think there was some spec when his name was first floated back in Dec that he wouldnt consider the job until after the reg season so he could get a staff and not hop on a runndown horse midstream. buy speculation is what it is so who knows

yeah was thinking if he wanted the job even after the season prob they wldnt be talking to karl but who really knows what goes on behind closed doors

what if this whole thing is just a vivek power play to try and coerce mullen into the role?

we are moving behind the looking glass here ppl

I think that's giving vivek too much credit, but who knows maybe he speed-read 48 laws of power and Machiavelli for dummies in a weekend and is like, FOLKS I GOT AN IDEA

he is a silicon valley billionaire, this brand of thinking is probably not too foreign to him. also high probability that mullen likes getting paid to opine on hoops and isn't interested in the stress of coaching a losing team

mo'ne shooting the pro three, nice

luv aggro kd https://vine.co/v/OUj9QY6bpgA

tbh kenneth faried pisses me off

what sort of a name is kenneth anyway

btw keep any eye on this for the next month http://hesheatingup.tumblr.com/

nice

digging that

thats fun

mo'ne shooting the pro three, nice

Pfft, corner three.

hornets traded to get mo williams, lol

so, is mo now regretting that 50 point game?

hawks traded adriean payne

that pick didn't work out too well

frees up salary for them tho

@RotowireATC
Adreian Payne had one of the most unique injury profiles in the 2014 Draft. In addition to ADHD, he has been diagnosed w/ having small lungs

SMALL LUNGS

Hawks prob not too concerned since they're sitting on that pick swap with the nets this year

Two tnt games tonight fyi prob bc of all star break coming up, rockets-Suns should be good

Nuggs-lakers less so

SMALL LUNGS

oh no

I think they just didn't see a spot for him. They like Muscala a lot and this 7 footer in Spain is apparently looking badass. Any chance Minny will be out of the lottery before 2020? If so, Hawks get their 1st rounder.

Lol Bledsoe and pj tucker just did the inbounds pass back inbounds turnover thing that the lakers (maybe?) did the other night

Then they yelled at each other some bad vibes in phx feel like they need a lil shakeup trade before the deadline

you need lungs man lungs are important

Yah that's super bizarre

is there not a more fancy medial name for small lungs than "small lungs?"

watching the suns/rockets game in india btw, the broadcast doesn't seem to cut away during halftime so i saw those masked dancer guys and now i'm watching shootaround. exactly like being there except for the lack of a halftime beer run.

Broadcasts overseas are glorious for that reason - had the same thing happen in China
