It's a good move by Denver to move on. Karl is a very good coach but he needed a change of scenery too. The West is very difficult to win in the playoffs it is dominated by Lakers and Spurs its very hard to get through. Regular season records I feel can be misleading and they do not always reflect what will come in playoffs. Some coaches are made for Regular season and some are made for both regular season and playoffs. Talent plays a role in it too.

Congrats @georgekarl22, good season and nice run in the playoffs…very entertaining.

Even rings more true on firing day!

Anyone sticking up for Karl sticks up for extended mediocrity (80-105 in the playoffs.)

The Don Nelson of his time!

I think you just described our current coach and superstar. I guess no one is going to stick up for them here.

good point

80-105 IS 44%

23-42 IS 36% take a guess who this belongs to....

Lol every other thread is "Melo sucks" or "Demote Woodson" thread.

Hey, just statin' facts brosef! Karl is a good regular season coach...nothing more, nothing less. Only time(singular) he made it to the NBA finals was on the back of Hall of Famer, Gary Payton. End of Scussin'!

How would it elevate carmelo? I'd love to hear the logic behind this one...

Karl was critical of some aspects of Melo's game. If Karl is discredited in any way it makes such things not as valid.

Winning 57 games (more than knicks) with a roster full of non star ex knicks makes Melo look bad to hater. The Moobyites must defend it.

My take is Karl wanted an extension and knuggs don't play that. He found out Clips "Would be" interested as is the Grizz. When you have a market, you have options and leverage. Karl made it a big deal forcing Denver to extend or release.

This year the Nuggs underachieved in the playoffs, but 80-105 has to be taken in context. If you are consistently the lower seed, you are generally going to lose in the 1st round.

Well Denver has shown they have an interest in being cheap.

Role players, wont keep a good GM over money and let their coach go over money.

I'm sure he'll find another job, but that team will underachieve just like most of his others did.

Not really, just trying to figure out who actually reasons and evaluates with some logic and who posts nonsense. To reduce Karl to a 'career loser' is pretty stupid.

I would welcome Karl with open arms to the Knicks.I don't think the roster matches his coaching style though.

So in your eyes, Melo is a career loser. He might as well retire. Smart.

I'll judge him after 20+ years of losing.

It does include context. That includes his time in Seattle and Milwaukee. I think he had the best record in the NBA and #1 overall seed when his Sonics got swept my Mutumbo's Nuggets in '94.

He had a damn good record in regular season he could do wonders for a young team like Bobcats I like to start calling them Hornets again. Carolina guys have to stick together. He would get them winning quickly that is certain. I don't think teams with championship aspiration will entertain Karl, nothing against Karl but the fact is he isn't going to get a team over the hump when it comes to playoffs.

Yes, the Denver apologists are in full swing mode now.

Karl, the great coach, who dragged CancerMoobyMelo to the WCF on the back of the likes of AI and Chauncey.

Karl, he with the more regular season wins than our suckhole, can't get it done in the playoffs, please fire him now, Coach Woody

He wasn't fired, he was mutually "oustered". Good for him and his attempted money grab! At least he's not a grubbing Starphucque like our Mooby!

Denver, the up and coming, ever-improving, properly built out of tremendous Knick "assets", potenshull-filled, out in the first round model,
Knicks, the rapidly decelerating, built for yesterday, Starphucqued, dysfunctionally decrepid, out in the second round model.

Wonder if Karl ends up in Toronto? Can't wait to see him turn Rudy Gay and Landry Fields into the next Gallo and Wilson.
