UPDATED:

In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene hours after the stunning firings of Michael Malone and Calvin Booth. Among the topics discussed:

  • Why now? Why did team president and owner Josh Kroenke fire his head coach and top executive with just three games left in the regular season and the Nuggets in the middle of a playoff race?
  • Was there any indication this was about to happen? Is the franchise throwing in the towel on the season? How will this impact the Nuggets as they chase a second championship in three seasons?
  • What is the plan moving forward? What does this mean for the rest of the roster? Who’s safe? Who could be on their way out? And who might the Kroenkes pick to turn things around?
