Nuggets part ways with George Karl

[TyLawson3]

Wow.....

[Anfernee]

Sad for Karl, but Im happy to see a coach let go and a player not being blamed for it.

[jzek]

He was going to get fired anyway and it was just a way for him to save face considering I think this will be the first time a COTY got fired after winning the award.

[Anfernee]

Nuggets first team ever to not bring back the coach of the year and exec of the year?

I think so. In the past the Coach of the Year is fired the next year.

2005

Iggy should sign with a contender. Detroit is a mess.

what contender got cap space?

he should re-sign in denver or team up with Dwight if he wants to win. And teaming up with that clown is always a gamble

[DG#8]

wow, most exciting basketball news in awhile

[bagelred]

Needed to leave. The guy is a cancer.

Karl is a great coach.. Don't understand why people are bashing on him.

because you dont follow the nuggets

Karl is a great coach.. Don't understand why people are bashing on him.

He's a GREAT regular season coach. As for the playoffs, well, just go look at his coaching history in the playoffs. One of the worst track records of all time.

Get Hollins or Shaw!

Clippers can have Karl

You forgot the Clippers are run by a racist. no not sterling: Chris Paul

Karl isn't flexible at all. He has a plan, and you will fit it, or he will run you into the ground (and the team with it if not enough pieces fit it). He's very much like D'Antoni in that way, albeit with a better plan. He also winds up eventually butting heads for some reasons with his stars.

He's just a dick. He can't help it. I wonder what team he'll give a temporary boost to before killing them. I hope it's the Nets.

The problem w/ Karl is that he consistently gets out-coached in the postseason. Guy just doesn't adjust well.

Denver has some great pieces, and if they want to be a contender, this is the right move.

[Kurosawa0]

Hollins would probably be a good fit there. Not a bad job with the talent they have. Although they need to move some of that depth for an all-star.

I know his postseason record speaks for itself but that team out performed in the regular season. It's a team where the sum of the parts is greater than the individual parts.

Especially without Galinari the squad is composed of a bunch of #3-4 options. He turned that squad into a great defensive squad and a great team orientated squad

I He turned that squad into a great defensive squad
