As a Nuggets fan, I think that this move made a lot of sense. It was supposed to happen at the All Star break, but the team won 8 straight heading into it (admittedly against mediocre opposition) and so the team held off. But Booth and Malone hated each other’s guts and every report that’s come out of this has noted how everyone in the organization - and most importantly the players - were sick and tired of the arguing and the fighting and being caught in the middle.

Hilarious that a Walton heir got a basketball scholarship to Missouri.
Calvin Booth played at Penn State, right?
He did! Amazing shot blocker - a lefty.
I remember they made a rare NCAA tourney run with Booth in 1996, but got bounced in the first round.
