Denver Nuggets
.@nuggets Tim Connelly loyalty and patience. Hard to vision myself elsewhere.
Just sat down with Tim Connelly. Talked free agency. I asked him if the Nuggets are eating at the big boy table now.
“I think we’re entering the Golden Age of Nuggets basketball. We have something special brewing. And other players around the league know it”.
Michael Malone closes by saying Nikola Jokic’s horse Dreamcatcher won a big race in Serbia recently.
Malone: Jokic's horse won a race the other day, 'and he made sure I knew about it.' Smiled. #Nuggets #NBA #MileHighBasketball
Malone: 'Overall, I thought Jamal (Murray) was remarkable in the playoffs.' #Nuggets #NBA #MileHighBasketball
"I think we sent a pretty loud message. I think there were questions about our team all season...I would say we answered so many questions about our team in the best way possible."
Coach Malone is at the podium this morning for his end of the season media availability.

.@nuggets Malone. We will use losing game 7 at home as motivation all summer long.
Malone: We'll use pain of Game 7 home loss to motivate us "all summer long." #Nuggets #NBA #MileHighBasketball
Malone says he doesn’t think there is a relationship between owner, front office exec and head coach in the NBA that is more aligned than he, Tim Connelly and Josh Kroenke. Says team “wouldn’t have skipped a beat” with Arturas Karnisovas, but didn’t want to see Connelly leave.
RT @TheUndefeated: Happy Birthday to The Notorious B.I.G.
Today would have been his 47th birthday ??
Malone: 'I wanted to see this thing through with him, as a partner ... I can't imagine there's a (team) ... that has the relationships and alignments we have.' #Nuggets #MileHighBasketball #NBA
.@nuggets Malone on Tim Connelly I didn’t want him to leave. I wanted to see this thing though with him.
Malone on Connelly: "This past weekend with Tim talking to the Wizards, I didn’t want to see him leave, but I had complete confidence in Arturas Karnisovas. We wouldn’t have missed a beat. I am the head coach in Denver becasue of Tim Connelly…"
Michael Malone, sarcastically, about Connelly staying: “Mixed feelings. Kind of wanted to see AK get the job.”
.@nuggets coach Malone we take great pride that we have improved last four years.
Michael Malone, asked about personnel changes this summer: The easy answer is always to say ‘Let’s go get player X.’ Sometimes answer is developing one of your own.
Malone says he, Tim Connelly, and the front office will meet soon to discuss if there are additions that need to be made to the roster. Sounds like they’d prefer growth from within.
