Former Sacramento Kings head coach George Karl has a new podcast, and in the latest episode he went into great detail discussing his time with the Sacramento Kings. Vance Walberg, who served as an assistant under Karl in Sacramento, was a guest on the show as well. I’ll be discussing some key moments, but the whole thing<\/a> was a really fascinating listen (outside the podcast host, who is useful in guiding the conversation but way too effusive with his praise of Karl and Walberg every step of the way).<\/p>\n

It is also worth noting that all stories are from the perspective of Karl and Walberg. Karl certainly doesn’t paint himself as perfect — he says it was a mistake to say no player is untradeable — but he tends to put the blame on everyone but himself — he says it was a mistake to say no player is untradeable because his team wasn’t mature enough to handle that.<\/p>\n

Carmichael Dave shared some snippets of the podcast on Twitter, and I’ll share those hear so you can hear some of the more relevant parts of the show.<\/p>\n

On Vlade’s hiring:<\/p>\n

In this clip, Karl talks about the first sign of trouble in Sacramento. <\/p>\n

According to him, he had no clue Vlade was hired, and neither did Pete D\u2019Allesandro. <\/p>\n

In fact he says he yelled at Pete when he found out. pic.twitter.com\/WhzWojmi6F<\/a><\/p>\n
