- Coach Michael Malone and the Nuggets‘ front office aren’t on the same page when it comes to roster moves, sources tell David Thorpe of TrueHoop. Thorpe has been hearing for two years about a “disconnect” as the organization has lost Bruce Brown and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope from its 2023 championship roster. Malone has been left with a collection of young players to try to fill their roles.
