Kings general manager Vlade Divac said keeping George Karl as coach was right move “for now.”
How long is “for now”?
Shaquille O’Neal, a Kings minority owner, shares insight.
Sam Amick of USA Today:
Kings minority owner @SHAQ on @NBAonTNT on George Karl: "I talked to @Vivek about that. Nothing is going to happen to George Karl this year"

This would mean a little more if Vivek Ranadivé weren’t prone to wild swings. Remember, the Kings said Tyrone Corbin would finish last season as coach before firing him for Karl.
Divac also said in November that Karl would coach the rest of the season, and that came up for debate fewer than three months later.
Shaq’s revelation is as likely to embarrass the Kings in a few weeks as it is to signal Karl’s job security.
