Holy Shit... Nuggets

[HurricaneDij39]

Ok…

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

They probably knew he was going to be gone regardless of outcome, so perhaps they wanted to do right by him and let him get a head start on other opportunities.

I personally would have let him finish the season and also believe Booth deserved a longer leash...

But again, I fully support my team and the organization for the decision they have made... Go Nuggets.

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

Russell Westbrook has been the least maintenance individual on our team this season... Yeah I said it.

I personally would like him back next year, but if he believes he'll have a better opportunity elsewhere, then he has every right to believe that.

What about the players?

How is Jokic going to respond? He has been a good soldier all the way through a lot of missteps by the front office.

This could be the beginning of the end of Joker in Denver.

There's really no upside for the firing for Denver...as far as we know.

The devil is always in the details though.

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

 

[DJ Fieri]

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.

Could be great news for the Lakers since we need a C and Joker and Luka are buds!!!!!

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

That doesn't make sense.

When does Hurricane ever make sense?

 

[Wamu]

When does Hurricane ever make sense?

In his own limited head every other day?

[Shanemansj13]

Who is his replacement? That is the main question. Can they do better?

 

[The Q]

You called for this…

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

Especially now. Just horrendous timing.

Getting rid of booth was not the wrong move

 

[The Q]

Booth doesn’t come off well here

Also the time to sell Porter was after the title

You can fully support your team and still call a dumbass move a dumbass move.

Unless something happened that hasn't gotten out yet...this was a dumbass move.

 

[msgkings322]

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

Go Nuggets!!!

FIFY

Booth was on an expiring deal and hasn’t done a great job beyond the Gordon trade and the brown signing

And even then, he gave away Jeremy grant for free

 

[The Q]

Jalen Pickett of all people breaking the nuggets is hilarious
