There are rumors floating around that coach George Karl wants DeMarcus Cousins to be traded away from Sacramento. That will be difficult however, considering Kings owner Vivek Ranadive told USA TODAY Sports he has “zero interest” in trading away his star. But the rumors will persist, especially given the tenuous nature of the relationship between Cousins and Karl.
When the Kings began considering the coach in February, Cousins’ representatives offered swift resistance. When Karl was hired, he commented that he’d “never had one player that I have said is untradeable,” signaling to some that Cousins was on his radar.
