Nikola Jokic Became Frustrated By Michael Malone's "Fiery Ways"

According to multiple reports, Nikola Jokic was not always seeing Michael Malone in a positive light. In fact, the three-time MVP grew “frustrated” and “fatigued” by his coaching style.

Beyond the frustration and fatigue of his style, the way the team was operating since the middle of March made Jokic start to lose patience.

Per the man himself, owner Josh Kroenke came to Jokic about his decision and the big man accepted it with no problems. He stated he knew before everyone else about the eventual changes happening within the organization.

Kroenke tried making the Calvin Booth, Malone dynamic work. However, both men held no relationship and almost to the point of pure hatred and refusal to work with each other.

“The stuff off the court was even worse than the stuff on the court,” one Nuggets source said. “Everyone felt the weight of it.”

Per The Athletic, after the Memphis Grizzlies fired Taylor Jenkins games away from the postseason, this influenced Denver’s decision to end the relationship with their own head coach.

According to multiple reports, spearheaded by ESPN, Brook Lopez did have his sights set on signing with the Los Angeles Lakers but pivoted due to the uncertainty of LeBron James’ future with the Lakers.

The Los Angeles Clippers swooped in and secured him for their center room. With him not wanting to be apart of the current LeBron drama in L.A., Lopez passed up being a starter to now being the backup to Ivica Zubac.

This offseason saw Deandre Ayton be bought out by the Portland Trail Blazers and signed by the Lakers, which came days after the Lopez news.

According to Marc Stein, the Golden State Warriors have been strongly interested in bringing back De’Anthony Melton for the next season. Last offseason saw Golden State sign Melton to a one-year, $12.4 million deal.

Fans only got to experience six games of Melton’s talents due to him suffering a partially torn left ACL. That injury left him done for the remainder of the season. For the Warriors, they would love to bring him back to give him another shot on the team.

Golden State has been linked to signing players like Al Horford, Bradley Beal, and now potentially the 27-year-old.
