The Denver Nuggets are still without a head coach, which is very interesting considering they have one of the most questionable teams in the league. Surely when your point guard would most likely wants to be somewhere else and everybody excluding Kenneth Faried is injury prone, you’d want to get in a coach right quick. Right? Well clearly the Nuggets have time to do nothing because past Mike D’Antoni, I’ve heard nobody that is connected to Denver.
Nuggets GM Tim Connelly apparently wants a head coach before the Draft comes. Well at least we’re hearing something.
“I think the deadline is we want to have a coach as we head into the draft,” Nuggets general manager Tim Connelly said at the outset of the process. “It’s a pretty pivotal pick for us, and a pretty pivotal moment.”
The Nuggets are trying to be as detailed as possible in an effort to avoid a repeat of the failed Brian Shaw era. Shaw was fired in March, and Melvin Hunt took over as the interim coach. Hunt has been interviewed for the job. The Nuggets have also talked to Mike D’Antoni, who coached current Nuggets Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari while with the New York Knicks from 2008-11.
I honestly don’t care who they hire at this moment in time, they just really need to get a coach or give Melvin Hunt a permanent position. Because this uncertainty is not needed, that whole franchise is on thin ice as it is.
Their roster is average, they’re definitely not a Playoff team but they’re not a tank team either, they’re stuck and the fact that they still haven’t got a coach is worrying.
