They really gonna give him to LA? :grin: REALLY?! Pau Gasol Dwight Howard DeMarcus Cousins Good grief...
If this happens, I really like the idea of swooping in and getting Collison for something like TJones and Prigioni.
If Vlade Divac and the Kings choose a HC over a top 15 player and simultaneously help the friggen Lakers, I will forever feel sorry for Kings fans. Unfathomable

The Lakers have jack **** to offer. Randle? He's an unknown and injured. #2 pick? Yea if you like to gamble instead of going with an all-star player. I wouldn't blame Divac for this; I point the figure right at that idiot of a coach who's hellbent on bringing his old sorryass Denver team to Cali and the dumbass owner that clearly don't know what he's doing

Where is Philly and Boston during all this? They are the ones who have been stock piling assets for this exact reason.

Sure - but that's in the past. Nothing they can do about that now. Informed decision? You pretty much know what you're getting with George Karl - he's been coaching for 20+ years. The reason you do it midseason is that you have no competition. How many other (better) jobs opened up this offseason? If you wait until then, no guarantees you can get him. Is he, though? How many coaches with Karl's track record are available for hire? Karl's done it with everything from great HOF type talent in Seattle to complete nobodies in Denver. If there's any coach that can get Sacramento to the playoffs soon, its probably him.

well i called it yesterday morning. but me personally I think clarkson, randle, & okfar is a lot to give up for lakers. Free agents want to join them after kobe leaves they could hold on to all their assets & still get big names. and solid center for cheap in draft. But guess they are trying to move fast.
