Michael Malone, Nuggets’ Front Office Reportedly Not ‘Seeing Eye To Eye’

The Denver Nuggets lost Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in free agency without an external replacement as the expectation is Christian Braun will take his place at shooting guard in the starting lineup. Calvin Booth has prioritized the development of Denver’s draft picks with the goal of building a sustainable contender, but that could come at the expense of their short-term success managed by Michael Malone.

“There are rumblings,” said Zach Lowe on his podcast this week. “Rumblings! That the coaching staff and front office, or at least the head coach and the front office, aren’t exactly seeing eye to eye in Denver. To a degree even unusual for the NBA.”

Malone signed an extension with the Nuggets early in the 23-24 season that reportedly runs through 26-27. Booth signed an extension in 2022 when he ascended to the top decision maker with the franchise after the departure of Tim Connelly. Booth’s deal expires after the 24-25 season.

Denver currently is navigating a potential extension for Jamal Murray, who would otherwise become a free agent in 2025. Aaron Gordon also soon becomes extension eligible and he has a player option for 25-26 that could allow him to test free agency.

Rudy Gobert Wins NBA Defensive Player Of The Year For 4th TimeRudy Gobert Wins NBA Defensive Player Of The Year For 4th Time

Rudy Gobert has been named the NBA Defensive Player of the Year for a record-tying fourth time.

Gobert had 72 first place votes and 433 total points. Victor Wembanyama finished second with 245 total points out of 19 first place votes, 44 second place votes and 18 third place votes. Bam Adebayo finished third with 91 total points ahead of Anthony Davis with 83.

Gobert joins Dikembe Mutombo and Ben Wallace as the only four-time winners of the award, which has been presented annually since the 1982-83 season.

In the 2023-24 regular season, Gobert ranked sixth in the NBA in blocks per game (2.13) and fourth in defensive rebounds per game (9.2). Opponents shot 43.4% from the field when Gobert was the closest defender, 6.1% lower than their expected percentage on those shots (49.5%). That difference was the largest among the 105 players who defended at least 800 shots during the season.

Led by Gobert, the Timberwolves had the best defensive rating, allowed the fewest points per game and held opponents to the lowest field goal percentage in the NBA. The top-ranked defense helped Minnesota (56-26) post the second-best record in franchise history and earn the No. 3 playoff seed in the Western Conference.
