I especially don't like coach firings when key players have been missing parts of the season.

If I had a nickel for every time a team in the Western Conference in the playoffs fired their coach with less than a month to go in the season for no easily apparent off-court issues, I would have 2 nickels

Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

GM needed to fire himself, not Malone. This isn't on Malone.


EDIT: N/M I see Booth is out too. Should have just been him. Crazy to dump Malone. That guy is going to be picked up immediately in a bidding war. Idiots.

But of course the NBA isn’t rigged and they’re not trying to make it as easy as possible for LA to win the championship this year.

Sucks bad for Malone, a highly likeable guy.

But I'm glad for a new direction. It was needed.


Whoa! And Booth! Now that is extreme... It's like they read the first page of this thread in real time and then fired the GM, too...
