Thibs is not happy in Chicago & there is small doubt i have on them to screw Thibs up but there is a chance for us to at least give it a try. Probably end up serving as a leverage for Thibs to get it from Bulls. Any thoughts?
It has nothing to do with loving Karl, we can just face the reality of the situation. karl is not getting fired, no need to waste time hoping for something that will not happen.
Karl was business partners and friends with Stan Kroenke before he became the Nuggets head coach, which will get in the way of him getting fired by the Nuggets.
Add to that you have a situation where the team is rebuilding (not in a way that I like but just the same that is what they are doing), they over performed the 1st 20 games or so and then had major injury problems. Add to that the best player left on the roster is injured and has been out the majority of the last 7 weeks and most of the few games he did play in that time he played like crap.
Then you also traded one of your top 2 players for a prospect and cap space. Like it or not Nene to McGee was a huge downgrade, especially on the defensive end. Since the trade the Nuggets defense has went to hell, and the offense has had plenty of problems as well.
Fully healthy Josh Kroenke and Masai Ujiri were not expecting this team to be any better then they are, even before the Nene trade. Add in injuries and the Nene trade and this team is performing better then they expected. In those situations coaches get extensions not fired, right now I would spend my time hoping they do something to fix the roster and stop worrying about Karl he is here for at least another year.
Realistic take on the team. Was on a bit on the edge when i posted this up. Our coach lacks knowledge & experience on very important aspects of the game, the proper use of a big men + half court game.
I will be keep believing in our pro active FO to snatch better opportunities when they present themselves moving forwards.
