Karl：沒有任何球員是非賣品；藉口是留給失敗者 精選

帝王主帥George Karl在季中接任球隊後，已不是第一次向外界表示，球隊沒有非賣品。在對湖人的比賽後，他們得到了28場膀利，與前兩個球季相同。賽後，Karl教練向傳媒表示了一些他對球隊未來的看法。
Karl認為，明年帝王將會取得一個很大的進步。然而，Karl說陣中沒有球員是非賣品，他認為隨時也要為好交易作好準備，因為這些交易能夠提升球隊實力。不過Karl說這是總經理Pete和副主席Divac擅長的事情。

引用"I think we can make a big step next year. As an organization, we have to be aware of what if? What if we get offered (a good trade)? What if? That’s Pete and Vlade’s (Divac) area of expertise.”

“I’ve had some great players and I’ve never had one player that I have said is untradeable.You always got to be ready for the possibility of a great trade that could come your way."

言下之意，是否指出DeMarcus Cousins可被交易？Karl沒有正面回答，他指自己很尊重Cousins，每天也有所交流，而Karl也希望此溝通能夠繼續。

引用“I know I respect him (DeMarcus Cousins) a tremendous amount . . . I think our give and take and our communication has been almost on a daily basis . . . until we can really get to a special place together, I think we’ve got to continue to communicate, what he wants and what I want.”

此外，Karl也認為，球隊面對艱難的時候，總可以找到藉口，但他不會這樣做。這是因為他認為藉口是留給失敗者，而他們想成為贏家。

引用“We have excuses but excuses are for losers and we want to be a winner.”
