Yep. And I can only imagine this means the Nuggets are NOT going to hire Malone? Must be D'Antoni.

I'm simultaneously thrilled that Pete is gone from our front office and sad that Mike Malone's best shot at a head coaching gig this year probably just evaporated.

I came this close to starting an Official Good Riddance PDA Thread, then decided better to let old wounds scab over.

Suffice it to say buh-bye.

Scram.

 

[EJF]

Happy he's gone. Never liked the guy.

Does that mean someone else is free to start that thread?

Great news. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, Petey.

Yippee!

So does PDA stick to form and draft an offensive weapon for the Nuggs or try to screw us by drafting WCS?

Yeah, I'm glad to see D'Alessandro go but I definitely don't like a member of the Kings' front office joining the team picking right behind us only a few weeks before the draft.

At least Payne and WCS haven't come in for their workouts yet.

 

[Livinthedream]

That is some serious bad luck for Malone.

It'd be worse if they were picking before the Kings.

absolutely, but Denver is in a position to possibly trade up, they have assets that they appear willing to move.

 

[Chubbs]

Hallelujah!

Makes me sick the weasel now has insider information for the draft.

Why'd they wait? What earthly reason was there?

Vlade and Vivek, shame on you. This was about as big of a no brainer as there's ever been.

 

[AaronPDX]

Trading the 6th pick and Stauskas or McLemore for Lawson looking less and less a possibility.
Bye, Pete! NEVER liked you!

Yup, I was just thinking the same thing. Let's hope that he was locked out of those discussions as soon as it was known he was leaving (just now knowing where that would be).


This would be awful if we were picking 7th and the Nuggets 6th. If we are smart (and who knows) we could possibly screw with them here with whatever information he is taking with him.

 

[dude12]

Sucks for Malone but he will get his coaching job eventually. Thanks for nothing PDA.....rat bastard.

I agree. This may have been a mistake by our FO. Either have to get some committment for him to stay through the draft, or let him fo earlier.

Either way, I'm glad he's gone.

No no no malone got saved that Denver job is a disaster on waiting. They have 0 shot at the playoffs and might even blow it up. He just needs to wait next year how the Minneasota job wiggins/towns and Malone.

Also does this mean faried/lawson won't be traded here out of spite.

Because PDA is still good at the same thing that made him valued in Denver - he is very good as a capologist.

And because the people that really got hosed by D'Alessandro (Malone and Corbin) are either fired or "reassigned" into a position with an office in the Bermuda Triangle since I haven't seen Tyrone or his immaculate tiny mustache ever since.

 

[c-webb1s#1]

This news just made my day! Clean up the FO trash then work on improving the team!

 

[Fresno King]

Does this mean we can re-hire Petrie now?
Wishful thinking.

I have to wonder if there has been some talk for a bit, and we started slowly because we had dust that needed settling.

 

[One and Done]

I actually was against Malone in Denver - they need to blow that team up and rebuild, and typically any team is going to go through a few coaches in the process. This is a good move for him, or lack thereof. Adios Pete.

If I was Corbin I'd disappear probably with a drinking problem resurface maybe a year or two from now. That guy went through the ringer, really was even worse than the Malone treatment.

**** 'em. Let them have our scraps.

And if we did this properly Pete's been isolated and had nothing to do but clean his stapler for weeks now since the decision to demote him and let him shop himself around was made.

 

[HighFlyingMonkey]

What a god damn mess of a front office this was. Really was no other choice besides cleaning house. Hope Vlade has his act together because the Boogie and Karl clocks are ticking.

I hadn't really considered it before but it's entirely possible that Vivek essentially told PDA to line up a new gig because he was done in Sacramento.
