He’s either going to replace Thibs and go home (he’s from Astoria) to coach the Knicks or Pop is going to retire for health reasons and he’s going to take over the Spurs.
Hire him as an assistant to Darko (assuming he has a great relationship with Jokic?) and then entice Jokic to come to Toronto. That is the move.
Malone has fond memories of Toronto, his dad was the first Raptors head coach. Mike Malone was also a Team Canada men’s basketball coach.
Please Toronto

Holy fuck man, it was already crazy the Grizzlies did this so late and now the Nuggets did it too. This season is pretty crazy
Absolutely insane move by Calvin Booth
Say what you will about Masai and Bobby’s decisions over the years, they aren’t stupid like Booth was to do this at the dumbest possible time
THERE ARE LESS THAN 5 GAMES LEFT FOR THE NUGGETS TO PLAY! THE PLAYOFFS START IN A WEEK!
His Dad was the raptors 1st coach
Time to learn Tennessean Mike
This is absolutely nutty.

Just before the playoffs?? Crazy.
They just fired their GM too…
Unless something crazy happened behind the scenes, this is insane. Any team relying on Westbrook is not good enough to win the title
What is happening lmao what a wild season
If I’m Jokic I’m leaving this FO at the earliest opportunity. Just a clown show at this point.
Booth is the one who needs to be replaced. Practically wasting jokic prime
Why? What is going on over there? Someone ELI5?
I can’t see the benefit of firing a week before the playoff as opposed to immediately after
Way to throw the white flag on a wasted season of Jokic’s prime. Absolute genius move…/greenfont
That’s crazy
At first I thought it was a week late for April fools. Wow. This Memphis and Sacramento makes this a season for sudden and strange coach firings. And somehow Nurse still has his job in Philly…
It would be nice if we had a coach that wasn’t a yes-man to Scottie.
This is wild. Like days before the playoffs
Right before the playoffs?
I’ve seen the script.
Raptors win the lottery.
Trade Cooper + stuff for Jokic.
Championships.
He’ll have a job in a couple weeks if he wants one
They should trade Jokic to the Raptors now…for reasons.
(Listen if the Lakers can get Luka for peanuts, then I want the Raptors to get Jokic for peanuts dammit)
Post malone era
This is the casualty of the new CBA. They couldn’t retain their championship core and management can only blame the GM and Coach. SMH.
If I speak…
Shouldn’t have given him the max and shopped IMO.
Any team looking for a new hc is pretty happy with jenkins and malone being available
I think you can make the argument that minus Jokic, this Raptors team is better than the Nuggets.
They really messed up their roster. The MPJ signing didn’t bite them when they won a title, but in the long run you would’ve been smart to bet against it. Lost KCP, lost BB. Added Russ.
Westbrook is hands down the most frustrating player I have ever seen. Completely unreliable in important games. A negative BBIQ first ballot HOF, don’t think I’ve ever seen someone like him.

Wow. Another great move by the Kroenke
How many years left on Jokic’s contract?
