\"Michael<\/p>\n

We live in a world of fast paced, minute to minute information. \u00a0We process and spit out new tid bits at an alarming rate and often without properly vetting what is in front of us. \u00a0Misinformation becomes reality in the blink of an eye.<\/p>\n

A report earlier today<\/a> paints a less than favorable picture of former Sacramento Kings head coach Michael Malone during his tenure with the team. \u00a0According to the piece:<\/p>\n

\u201cRanadive, a source says, told Cousins he had to do it because Malone didn’t get along with GM Pete D’Alessandro and had been insubordinate by missing a meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether Vivek Ranadiv\u00e9 told DeMarcus Cousins that this was the reason Malone was relieved of his duties or not, is unknown. \u00a0NBA sources confirmed to Cowbell Kingdom <\/i>that the incidents mentioned in the report are factually incorrect. \u00a0And according to multiple sources, the insinuation that Malone was ever insubordinate during his time with the Kings is laughable.<\/p>\n

Malone and D\u2019Alessandro did not have a perfect relationship during their time together with the Kings, that much is clear. \u00a0But league sources highly doubt the authenticity of these reports regarding a major blow up between Malone and D’Alessandro, or for that matter, Malone and any other member within the Kings organization.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Kings are in lockdown working on a potential deal with a new head coach. \u00a0It’s probably time to move forward and not backwards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
