It is an earthquake in the world of the NBA. A few days before the start of the playoffs, Denver chose to make a decision as surprising as it is confusing: to turn Calvin Booth, their General Manager, and especially Michael Malone, their emblematic coach for years now. Present on the Nuggets bench since 2015, the coach notably led the Colorado franchise in the NBA title in 2023 in the wake of his star Nikola Jokic. It was only two years ago. But the owners of Denver chose to hit hard by turning the page violent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Has Michael Malone paid the price for Denver's current bad pass? It is possible. The nuggets remain on four row sets while they are deprived Jamal Murray, Lieutenant de Jokic, since the end of March. And out of five defeats in their last seven games. But given the CV and the past of Malone in Denver, it is not four matches that can count at this time of the season. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

La decision was not taken lightly<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And if the exercise 2024-25 of the Nuggets is not necessarily up to expectations, the formation of Colorado still points to fourth place in the West Conference by being carried by a Jokic still as strong and dominant. “La decision was not taken lightly but after a precise evaluation, with the sole intention of giving our team the best chance to win the title 2025<\/i>“Said the owner of the franchise Josh Kroenke in a press release.”If the timing of this decision is unhappy, given the way in which Coach Malone helped to rebuild the foundations of a team now champion, this is a necessary step to compete at the highest level “,<\/i> Add the heir to the Kroenke family, also at the helm of the English football club in Arsenal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Deputy David Adelman, son of former coach NBA Rick Adelman (Portland, Golden State, Sacramento, Houston, Minnesota) will provide temporary workers until the end of the season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
