    I just heard he got fired from the Nuggets. Very surprising to me anyway.

    Someone linked a video from a few weeks back after they lost to us where Malone said the players aren’t watching tape. Seems like maybe he lost the locker room. He has always come off as abrasive to me. Kinda like Rick Carlisle.

    Malone is not the problem. Whoever responsible for giving MPJ and Murray their contracts created the problem. Joker deserves better.

    I hope Joe is ready too. The problem is is it seems like the Blazers usually get comfortable at the wrong time.

    KD and Booker apparently wanted the Suns to bring Chauncey to Phoenix but Denver would really tempt him I think as a destination. Malone is a good coach. I'll bet Philly and Phoenix will be looking at him right away. If you want a top tier coach, Malone is one of the few out there. Knicks might cut Thibs loose as well with Malone on the market.

    Why would Malone want to come here?

    That would be a question for him..I know why I moved here. Clean air and drinkable water. More trees than concrete. Not 130 degrees in the summer.

    Yeah I'd be for Malone as coach. All of the Nuggets problems is that roster. He got a washed up 36 year old Westbrook to be a positive impact double digit scorer this year.

    Funny that I could see the Nuggets being very interested in hiring Billups.
