DeMarcus Cousins, one of the player for the Sacramento Kings that represents the team may leave after the 2015-2016 NBA Season.

Lately, Cousins got into a heated argument with Kings head coach George Karl in their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Kings lost to the Cavaliers, 120-111 recently.

Karl has undergone a minor cancer procedure according to Yahoo Sports.

"It's a simple procedure. Almost done. I will be fine," according to Yahoo's interview with Kar.

Vlade Divac, the general manager of Kings, rejected the trade rumors that they want to get rid of Cousins in the offseason but it seems even the former NBA player is frustrated with Cousins, whom he suspended for the Magic game on Friday.

However, The Kings' imminent challenge isn't trading DeMarcus Cousins according to Ailene Voisin at The Sacramento Bee. "The more important task is coexisting with the volatile center long enough for general manager Vlade Divac to hire an experienced executive who can help him negotiate a decent deal." Ailene added.

Cousins was previously linked to the Boston Celtics before the deadline but the two sides failed to sign a deal. Cousins current contract in Sacramento is until 2018 that pays him around $16.4 million per season.
