Paul Westphal was fired after a 2-5 start and a clash with DeMarcus Cousins. This is an obvious case of the ownership siding with the players over the coaches. Westphal has butted heads with DeMarcus Cousins and Tyreke Evans last year. Westphal finished with a 51-120 record in Sacramento.
I don't mind the firing, because 1. He's not that great of a coach, 2. The Kings should be better with that young talent, 3. If your coach is butting heads with everyone, maybe it's his fault.
Assistant Keith Smart will be taking over the team.
