They should've fired the GM and hire another one since the 2 of them can't get along.

Firing the GM makes sense considering this team has absolutely no bench. But, firing Malone this late in the season is wild.

This is unbelievable. I'm absolutely devastated. Malone is an excellent coach and was the heart and soul of the Denver Nuggets. I don't understand this move at all. Seems like a power move by Josh Kroenke. Stupid, stupid move!

If the ownership realized today that the team was not properly built for the title expectations and decided to fire the GM, the fault is at least 50-50, but firing the coach now, barring absurd fights, is a suicide move: no coach can make the a team improve THAT much that a low PO seed can win the ring and you're destined to change 3 coaches in the next 2 years, losing your star players too.

So close to the playoffs too. This is kind of crazy.

Was the GM deemed responsible for Murray's contract in realtion to his health and for not retaining KCP?

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

i think it was Zach Lowe who said on his pod today that ownership and GM were pretty united in letting KCP go. They all really liked Braun.
