This is weird, considering that Sacramento Kings owner Vivek Ranadive and VP Vlade Divac have said numerous times that they will not trade star center DeMarcus Cousins.
However, Yahoo! Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski dropped one of his famous Woj bombs late in the night, revealing that head coach George Karl wants the big man gone via trade.
Despite Sacramento Kings management's public insistence that DeMarcus Cousins is unavailable in deals, coach George Karl's intense desire to trade the All-Star center has made it increasingly unlikely this coach-star partnership can peacefully co-exist next season, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Karl has been recruiting Kings vice president of basketball operations Vlade Divac and multiple players on the Kings' roster to unite with him in making the case to owner Vivek Ranadive that Cousins needs to be traded, league sources said.
We'll see what the Kings decide to do, but it's not a good look right now.
