Nuggets fire Mike Malone

[Chicagojk]

Just craziness. I think the book on Booth has been out for a while. He took over a team that the previous GM put together and then made some solid moves and won a title. I think most of the fanbase has been out of him the last two seasons though. Seemed to get a big ego with his early success (boy does that ring a bell) and really didn't think it was beginners luck. I have been pretty hard on him. Actually losing KCP was not a big loss though. Bruce brown loss hurt, but i believe he was signed for a number that Denver could not match. I think his inability to find replacements is what did him in. I have no problem letting him go now.

I do have a issue with Malone being let go. He is a bit ornery and I imagine can be difficult to deal with. He is also a championship winning coach. It makes no sense to get rid of him now. Get rid of him in the offseason if they flame out. Just crazy owners nowadays.
