Stunning: Nuggets fire both Coach & GM ….

I think their GM Calvin Booth fell short. They're playing Zeke Nnaji and Deandre Jordan, while relying on Russel Westbrook. There have to have been better moves available.

The Cavs got Deandre Hunter for Levert, Niang and 2RPs.
 
I'm not surprised that it was Malone who got the axe next, but the timing is pretty crazy. Coaches who win championships and coach of the year get fired all the time. Expectations create pressure, and once the Nuggets climbed to the top of the mountain people were going to start getting unhappy unless they found themselves there again and again. I don't think Malone necessarily deserved to get fired, but I wouldn't say he was an elite coach so not much is lost there. Calvin Booth has actually done a bad job and I know he was beefing with Malone, not surprised he got fired but I am surprised they fired both sides of the beef lol.

If the Celtics don't win, Mazzula is going to be on the hot seat right away. That's just how these things go.

Sure, in the off-season or at the start. Anyone who is saying they aren't shocked by this is full of ****

The timing is crazy. The ownership is either galaxy brain trying too hard to save the season or they didn't believe they could make a run at all (Murray has been out and maybe he won't be getting healthy). Its super wild.
 
If you wanted to ease tension and shake things up I could see firing the GM. Its a move you were going to do otherwise and maybe the players end up "fighting" for their coach's job. IDK just crazy town.
 
Firing booth makes sense. But why Malone?

These two guys are not on the same boat based on insider sources.
