If I'm Josh Kroenke, I tell Masai Ujiri to step it up and build a team that has a legit chance to win a championship. I don't see why you aren't getting that. This team has NO chance to win a championship, and in each and every series Karl has coached in Denver that they've lost, they've been underdogs aside from this year.
Last year in game 7 vs. #3 seed LA, the Nuggets were down 1 going into the 4th at LA. Again, NBA coaches don't go around winning as underdogs very often. Their lack of playoff success has nothing to do with George Karl.
The only reason the Nuggets were a higher seed than GS this year is because of George Karl. Without him, unless you're bringing in an equally good regular season coach, this team drops below LAC, Memphis, and quite possibly GS.
Karl also develops a system to fit the personnel that he's given, and that system isn't conducive to winning in the playoffs, but he does what he needs to do to win with the team he's given.
I don't really see where you're going with this. Hiring a new coach would serve no purpose.
I get what you're saying with the GM. Do you get what I'm saying that Karl has been there through three other GMs? He's the common denominator with the Nuggets through the last decade. I also get what you're saying about Karl getting so close, the bottom line is besides one set of playoffs, he hasn't achieved much.
