The Sacramento Kings mess surely can’t be resolved with all parties involved returning to the franchise when training camp starts can it?
Management believes Cousins and Karl can co-exist peacefully and successfully, but I’m not sure how with snake emoji’s and reports of serious discourse floating around.
According to Aaron Bruski, via the Sacramento Bee, Karl has reached out to his star center at least 10 times since the season ended to hopefully smooth things over.
In that report Karl maintains he has contacted DMC ~10 times w/ no response. That part I can believe, despite weirdness on the Pete issue.

While Cousins has complained he has not heard from his coach, in an ominous sign, a source said Karl sent an estimated 10 texts or phone calls since the season ended, none of which has initiated a response. In a brief conversation Tuesday, Karl sounded as exasperated as Divac.
“I want to get better,” Karl said. “I’ve had more conversations with my staff about ‘How we are going to coach him (Cousins), how we are going to motivate him, connect with him?’ than anything else.”
Vlade Divac has told the agent for Cousins that Karl is staying put along with the talented big man.
