    Malone not only resented that Booth didn’t retain those players in free agency, but also wondered whether Booth did so as a way to force him to play the younger players he had drafted, multiple sources said. “They just saw the world completely differently,” another team source said. That tension manifested everywhere. “The situation was just unsustainable,” a team source said. “Coach Malone and Calvin couldn’t fix it because they made the situation all about themselves.” Players even questioned whether their playing time was affected by the dysfunction between Malone and Booth, multiple team sources said. “If you’re one of Calvin’s guys, Malone doesn’t want to play you,” a team source said, flatly. Over time, players tuned out Malone, from the top of the roster down, multiple team sources said.

    When Malone was reluctant to play Nnaji at power forward, where analytics show he was resoundingly better than as a backup center, more than one staffer wondered whether there was an agenda behind it.

    "The numbers are way better [with Nnaji] as a 4 than a 5," one team source said. "But if you play him as a 5, he gets exposed. Who does that make look bad?"

    sounds like a real mess. Denver fired both of them, correct?

    It’s a very small club that has pulled it off.

    Yes. Alvin Robertson and Nate Thurmond too. That’s it. The last one was Robinson in 1994.

    There are 19 minutes left in this game. He’ll do it if they let him. It’s a blowout.
