Kovy is a good dude and consummate professional. I liked him on the Kings, but it was just a bad fit because: (1) the Kings needed roster spots for young players; and (2) the Kings were focused on getting 100% buy-in to the new system, instead of simply getting points and results (since we don't have the talent yet).
Amazingly, despite being a veteran and deserving better treatment from the Kings, Kovy handled the situation with pure class, and never threw a hissyfit or acted out. I wish him success.
