So now that Denver is cleaning house, could they trade Jokic to the Lakers for Knecht and a 1st round pick?


All jokes aside, this is a pretty classless thing for a team to do. Malone won you a championship. He's the best coach that franchise has had. You could wait until you're eliminated in the playoff to do this. Honestly, with how crazy the West is, Nuggets could conceivably get to the Finals if Murray gets healthy. It's insane to do this right now

Only thing I can come up with is not if a non playoff team wants him (and he wants to go there) he can agree to a deal right after season ends....did him a solid if were firing him regardless.

They fired their GM too though. This looks like the owners just don't like what's going on pulled the plug now instead of having some patience to wait another month

WTF are Nuggets ownership, the Kroenke's, doing?

Malone wasn't the problem.

The problem was ownership telling the GM to break up that title team up.

If I was Jokic I'd want outta there ASAP.

What a terrible decision.

We, over on the Rams board, affectionately refer to the Kroneke Family as the Limp Biscuits. He and his sons are about championships but they don't do much unless it becomes near catastrophic.

The Malone firing is similar to what Memphis did to their HC a couple of weks ago.

After the season the Nuggets should trade Jokic to the Celtics for Al Horford, Jrue Holiday, Torrey Craig, Jordan Walsh + draft picks. :D

Nuggets ownership are your typical greedy billionaire a-holes.

I don't get why the Nuggets ownership fired their head coach Mike Malone and their GM this late in the season.
It's not like they've been eliminated from post season play......they're currently the 4th seed in the WC...and battling through some player injuries.
Must be something personal between the individuals involved or an allegation or incidents involving them.
Just seems a bit strange and somewhat unnecessary....maybe even capricious and arbitrary.

4 seed and fires him right before the playoffs. Crazy. He must be fucking a lot of wives

@HurricaneDij39 come get your flowers, you called this. But it's really hard to say how this helps the team. Had to be something very personal involved to do this right now.
that or they knew it would be done end of season and did him a solid (per his request)? All I got.
