As soon as you thought John Calipari was safely embedded in Lexington, another rumor pops up.
The Sacramento Kings are probing University of Kentucky coach John Calipari about his interest in taking over the franchise’s front-office and coaching jobs, league sources told Yahoo Sports.
Sacramento’s interest in Calipari has only risen, as it appears there’s no fixing the relationship between George Karl and DeMarcus Cousins. However, in order for this to become a real possibility, Sacramento has to figure out if there’s a way to terminate Karl’s contract for “cause”.
Karl is set to make nearly $10 million in guaranteed money over the next three years.
Cousins spent a year under Calipari at Kentucky, where he averaged 15.1 points and 9.8 rebounds a game.
