Sounds like they hated each other and the Kroenkes decided to side with neither.
 
3 games left in the season

Brilliant idea from the Kroenke's degenerate son

Last time a coach was fired this late was the 1960's

Shams is saying the owners and the tax threshold was a sticking point as the GM wanted a build a bench and the owner didnt want to

If you go by Malone's comments over the last few weeks it's clear that he lost the room. It doesn't matter how good of a coach you are or what your pedigree looks like when that happens. With the way the team has been playing the writing was on the wall.

I do have some sympathy for him for sure, though. It wasn't his fault that his GM had a wildly different outlook on roster construction than he did. Booth is the real villain in all this and Malone simply went down with the ship. Hopefully the next guy can finally manage to get Jok another all-star for the first time in his career.

Ownership believed that the team would continue to bottom out with Malone regardless of firing Booth. They think that this is the only thing they could possibly do to give their team a spark heading into the playoffs. It won't work given the roster, but that was the justification.

While not entirely the same situation, this is what Detroit fans went through after winning the title in '04 until their last gasp in '08.

Ownership didn't want to spend. But at least our owner's health was declining rapidly.

Denver won their title a couple years ago and just gave up.

There is a couple thresholds in tax.

and I guess the GM was really pushing saying they had moves they could make to take advantage of Jokic's prime, and Kroenke disagreed saying why would i spend into the taxable threshold when this team should be higher in the standings, ill spend when you're better, but the gm is like we're only gonna be better if you spend.


That was the Eugene melnyk conundrum in Ottawa to an extent

Melnyk: I'll spend money if fans show up
-
Fans: We'll show up if Melnyk spends money
 
well at least the GM was canned too

nothing dumber than coaches getting fired because of GMs giving them shit rosters
 
I think Murray's inability to stay healthy and consistent was a major problem. Since winning the championship he has regressed. He was horrible for Canada at the Olympics.
