    OT: George Karl out as Denver coach

    Interesting. Wonder how this affects their offseason.

    I bet it's for health reasons.

    Denver believes it can attract an elite coach with its roster; simply didn't want to deal with an unhappy Karl in final year of contract.

    That's actually a good move for them. Karl is a notorious reg season success and terrible post season coach. They should feel blessed!

    One source close to process says "trade" between Denver and Memphis is now conceivable where Karl takes over Grizz and Hollins joins Nuggets

    Re: OT: George Karl out as Denver coach

    My first thought is that Karl was known to dislike McGee. Perhaps this means that Koufos and/or Mosgov are more available now than they were.

    Good decision. Karl played a pretty big role in them losing to GS even when they had HCA. Lots of front office and coaching turnover this summer. If we play our cards right, we can jump out to a good record when all these other teams are still acclimating to new philosophies and systems.

    smh RT @ramonashelburne: Denver management had several issues with Karl, one of which was his reluctance to play JaVale McGee more.

    I doubt we'd be able to get McGee then, they'll probably want to see how a new coach handles him before trading him.

    Good, he is a very overrated player because of good advance stats.

    I'm not a big fan of him either, but bringing him in would have been more exciting than Dalembert/Kaman/etc.
