Holy Shit... Nuggets

[HurricaneDij39]

Malone and Booth gone a week before the playoffs... This is unprecedented, thought Michael would at least finish the season.

 

[HurricaneDij39]

Malone is gone, reason to celebrate in itself... Timing is shocking, though.

You called for this…

Now I think you are about to see why it was the wrong move.

Especially now. Just horrendous timing.

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Definitely a head scratcher move by their front office.

No real rhyme or reason for it...imho.

 

[logic]

Pretty amazingly stupid timing. I don't think it is going to work out for them either short or long term with the coaching change. Long term may be okay if they get a good GM.

 

[DJ Fieri]

They should go hire Taylor Jenkins after the season.

Surprised he was fired by the Grizz.

 

[Shanemansj13]

You were right but this was also a terrible move so not sure it is a good look for you and the organization lol. Timing is absolutely brutal

 

[ducky]

Literally won a championship less than 2 years ago.

Just a completely classless move by the organization. There better be more to the story than just trying to get better.

 

[HurricaneDij39]

It's not how I would've gone about it, but I fully support my team.

Go Nuggets!!!

That may be a smart move. But at this point I think the GM will make a bigger difference than the coach for this team. Unless they hire Monty Williams, of course.

Sure. I get it.

They need to add some depth and don't have their 1st round pick in this coming draft. They going to have to bargain hunt for vets to add to the bench.

They should just hire Jokic's brothers to coach; they'll intimidate everyone else into playing better around Jokic..

The only logical reasons for making a move like this would be if it is what Jokic wanted, or if Malone crossed some major line and needed to be fired for ethical reasons.

That is it.

If Joker hates this move, then it could be really bad news for the future of the franchise.

Another question will be how this affects Russ in free agency...

They were always going to be a likely first round out without Murray... Now it's a matter of direction for future seasons.

Ok…

But why do this now? What is a new coach going to bring this close to the playoffs?

That’s the least relevant thing to be brought up I have seen.

Why is getting rid of the best coach the Nuggets have ever had a time for celebration?

That doesn't make sense.

Murray is injured and Russ is a free agent... Yeah, we need a point guard. So that's kind of relevant.

If you are basing any decisions on Russ you are screwed. You got a little more out of him, consider yourself lucky.
