What we all speculated is now official, George Karl will be the next head coach of the Sacramento Kings after agreeing to a four-year, $14.5 million contract, according to league sources. The Kings (18-34) have been struggling under the helm of interim head coach Tyrone Corbin, which somewhat proved to be an obvious indication that [...]

Mike Malone was surprisingly fired as Kings coach nearly two months ago and Tyrone Corbin has been the interim. But Corbin surely knew he wasn’t the long term answer since the team has been openly interviewing candidates. George Karl is one of those and he’s reportedly set to take over after the all-star break according [...]

Fashion and NBA players have become synonymous of late. Guys arrive to games in attire that is sure to garner some attention. Partially because it helps boost their personal brand perhaps because they actually think they look fresh. For the first time in league history, players will compete in a fashion show during all-star weekend. [...]

Damian Lillard’s all-star snub is one of the more egregious occurrences in recent memory. Despite that, I’m not sure it justifies that letter he posted on social media minutes after learning DeMarcus Cousins was given the final spot. In any event, having to decide between Damian Lillard and DeMarcus Cousins (two guys who are definitely [...]

Last year as a second year player, Damian Lillard was selected by the coaches to be an all-star reserve in the Western Conference. Since that had already been established, it seemed only logical that with Portland being third in the West, and Lillard having better numbers this year than last year at this time, he’d [...]

Question of the week: Do any of the NBA’s Eastern Conference fringe playoff teams actually want to make the postseason? Asking for a friend or 50 here. Seriously, once you leave the East’s top-six teams—Hawks(!), Raptors, Wizards, Bulls, Cavaliers and Bucks—it feels like you’ve entered the “Let’s try and suck as much as possible in order to [...]

There’s something truly zany about the 2014-15 NBA season. It’s been weird. It’s still weird. It’s truly, utterly, completely, wholly, wonderfully, purely, perfectly zany. Allow me to offer up Exhibit A: These here power rankings. Collective movement is neither enormous nor insubstantial. There is virtually no change at the top. But then we get into the [...]

Well it’s official: The NBA is a forest fire of craziness. To wit: A lot has happened since we last met. Kevin Garnett decided to head-hump Dwight Howard amid the Net’s demonstrative downturn; the Pistons decided to be an actual basketball team; the Knicks and Celtics let Sam Hinkie know they’re coming for his (pingpong) balls; [...]

Sure. Mike Malone is no longer the coach of the Sacramento Kings for stylistic reasons, mainly the fact that ownership and management want the team to run fast. So, naturally, in the post-Malone era, that’s led them to targeting a trade for the Brooklyn Nets’ Deron Williams, a former All-Star with paper ankles and spongy [...]

When the Sacramento Kings decided to give Mike Malone the shaft, almost everyone was surprised. Including Malone himself. Sure, the Kings were under .500 at the time and in the midst of a 2-7 stretch, but they had shown progress under Malone, beginning 2014-15 at 9-5, their best start in nearly 10 years. Malone’s dismissal [...]
