Are they really going to do it? I heard Rome talking about it - didn't think it was serious.

New Kings owner Vivek Ranadive and GM Pete D'Alessandro wanted to run an up-tempo, high-scoring system while Malone was a defense-first guy, according to Yahoo!'s Adrian Wojnarowski, Grantland's Zach Lowe, and others.

Wojnarowski reports that Ranadive is so committed to pushing the pace that he instructed interim coach Ty Corbin to experiment with a 4-on-5 defensive scheme.

From Yahoo Sports' Adrian Wojnarowski:

The owner played the part of a fantasy league owner, treating the Kings like a science experiment. He shared tactical experiences with Malone about coaching his child's youth team, and pressed him to consider playing four-on-five defense, leaking out a defender for cherry-picking baskets. Some semblance of that strategy is expected to be employed with Corbin now, a source told Yahoo Sports.

"So, coach, I'm not telling you how to do your job, but my son's 7U team is straight killing it right now."

I think it was actually his daughter's team that he is wanting them to model after.
