This has been an interesting year for the Sacramento Kings but things could be about to get better. Following the tough first half of the 2014-15 NBA season, the Kings may have found their new head coach.
According to ESPN, the Sacramento Kings and the 2012-13 NBA coach of the year George Karl may be close to deal that would make Karl the Kings new head coach.
Although the Kings have yet to formally announce a done deal with Karl, sources told ESPN.com on Tuesday that the organization is already operating under the premise that Karl will take over the team after the All-Star break.
The parties, sources said, were still working Tuesday on the finer deal points of an expected four-year contract that will formally establish Karl, an ESPN analyst, as Tyrone Corbin’s successor and Sacramento’s third coach of the season starting next week.
The sides are said to be still finalizing contract terms, such as the total worth of the financial package and whether the last year of the proposed four-year deal will be a team option or fully guaranteed. But sources said the delay in publicly confirming Karl as the Kings’ new coach is at least partly due to the club’s determination to help Corbin get through Sacramento’s last two games before the break with no further distractions beyond what he’s already faced over the past few days since Sacramento’s interest in Karl became public.
The Kings have some bright pieces and although this season is pretty much done, the Kings could begin to change their culture and end the 2014-15 season on a positive note.
