Hornacek, Blatt among 4 interviews for Kings this week

Sacramento Kings general manager Vlade Divac should receive more clarity this week as to who will succeed George Karl as the team's new head coach.

Divac will interview Mark Jackson, Jeff Hornacek, David Blatt, and Patrick Ewing this week, sources told Marc Stein of ESPN.

Karl was fired last month after just one full season despite agreeing to a four-year deal in February 2015. He spoke about his firing Monday, saying that he never believed he received the level of support he needed in order to be successful.

After employing nine different coaches since last making the playoffs in 2006, the Kings are certainly doing their due diligence. Sacramento has already been in touch with Sam Mitchell, Vinny Del Negro, Mike Woodson, and Nate McMillian, while Kevin McHale has also garnered consideration for the opening.

Sacramento has gone 206-434 over the past eight seasons.
