In another surprising firing, with roughly a week to go before the playoffs begin, the Denver Nuggets have relieved both head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth of their duties. Logan, Howard Beck, and Raja Bell react to the news and the timing of the firings (1:22). Does firing Malone now give the Nuggets an advantage heading into the playoffs? Logan and Raja are joined by ESPN NBA reporter Tim MacMahon, who just wrote a new book about Luka Doncic and the Mavericks franchise called ‘The Wonder Boy: Luka Doncic and the Curse of Greatness’ (30:44). Tim details what went wrong with the Mavs and Luka and why they ultimately traded him to the Lakers. The Ringer is committed to responsible gaming.
