What Led To The Hiring Of Dave Joerger?

Denver Nuggets shake up their coaching ranks as Dave Joerger joins as assistant head coach. Is David Adelman's job secure, or does management see a changing of the guard on the horizon?

Matt Moore and Ryan Blackburn break down the implications of Joerger's arrival, comparing his experience with the Grizzlies and Kings to the Nuggets' current needs. Key talking points include how Joerger's defensive intensity could address Denver's lack of on-court fire, the management-driven hiring decision, and the team's ongoing "half-measure" approach to roster and staff changes. The hosts debate trade rumors involving Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon, scrutinize the team's defensive strategies, and question whether the current core can deliver another NBA title.
