Kings reportedly will fire coach George Karl

The Sacramento Kings plan to fire coach George Karl on Thursday, according to the Sacramento Bee's Jason Jones. ESPN confirmed the report, which is not the least bit surprising after 14 months of drama and rumors about conflict with players and the front office.

From the Sacramento Bee:

In some ways, a dismissal might be a relief to Karl, as communication between the coach and the front office has not been ideal. Divac fired one of Karl's assistants, Vance Walberg, in February, and Divac stopped Karl from suspending Cousins in November after a locker room tirade.
