BREAKING: Nuggets fire Brian Shaw

They should have tried to trade him to Philly for Noel before firing him.

I thought shaw would do much better.. Guess not

Even though that team is a mess, it's still been talented enough to make the playoffs. Not sure why they didn't move chandler or faried, maybe in the offseason?

My guess is we will see a lot more moves in the next year or so. Fortunately we have no long term bad deals and extra picks to help out.

But this year and next are going to be rebuilding for sure.

Which is great news to me. 10 straight years of playoff losses isn't fun. Rather blow it up and start over.

Apparently Brian Shaw had trouble relating to the players. How does a 40 something year old black dude who played in the NBA have so much trouble relating to his players? George Karl is some old white guy and he had no trouble with that.

I think he has trouble related because he was exactly like them. They didnt respect him, he didnt respect them. It was crazy how many times he talked about his team to the media.

Whatever the Nuggets were doing the last year just hasn't worked out. They looked so promising around the time he got hired and Gallanari was looking like a semi all-star.

Same.

They have a fair amount of trade bait. I'm surprised they only swapped Moz and Afllalo at the deadline.

As far as I'm concerned, Shaw's days were numbered when he cancelled morning shootaround because his players enjoy the nightlife. Seriously, where is the professionalism in that decision? This is the NBA for god's sake, if you like the nightlife too fvcking bad. When the season is on there should only be one thing on your mind. You got a whole summer to enjoy the nightlife.

How they not going to give the black man a chance?
