Kings hire Alex English as an assistant coach. This guy can score with the best of them. Played forward for the Bucks, Pacers, Nuggets (where he really thrived and made it big as a scorer), and Mavs.
Maybe the Kings are hiring him to help with the run game?
Now I hope we can lure Vlade or Webber to coach the hell out of cousins.

He retired from the NBA in 1991 having scored 25,613 points in his illustrious career. Only six players in league history-Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Elvin Hayes, Moses Malone, Oscar Robertson and John Havlicek --had scored more at that time.

With a healthy David Thompson at his disposal and rookie forward Kiki Vandeweghe also aboard, Moe turned on the running game full blast. English (23.8 ppg) posted the first of nine straight seasons in which he averaged at least 23 points. Denver rocketed from 14th to first in the league in scoring. Unfortunately, the Nuggets also surrendered more points than any other club and posted a 37-45 mark.
Now I hope we can lure Vlade or Webber to coach the hell out of cousins.
