Rajon Rondo and George Karl apparently already left the honeymoon stage.
The Kings point guard says he and his new head coach have had a few bumps in the road in their first preseason together.
“It’s not been going too well,” Rondo told Cowbell Kingdom. “We’ve gotten into some arguments in the last couple days. Hopefully we continue to talk and get better.”

Rondo’s remarks came shortly after the Kings 107-100 win over the Lakers on Tuesday night, which improved the team’s record to 4-1 in the preseason.
Rondo signed with the Kings in the offseason after being waived by the Mavs following a disastrous half-season with the team in which he and coach Rick Carlisle clashed early and often.
Karl is heading into his first full season with the Kings after being hired midway through the season last year.
