George Karl admitted apologizing to DeMarcus Cousins during a meeting facilitated by Vlade Divac during the offseason.

Karl had suggested every player on the Sacramento Kings was tradeable.

“What I said, I should not have said,” Karl reiterated Friday. “But we all make mistakes. I make mistakes with game-planning, make mistakes coaching. DeMarcus makes mistakes. I think he was a little surprised (laugh) to hear me say that I make mistakes and that I’m going to ‘bleep up’ again.”
