Roster turnover in the NBA can move at lightning speed, and on Friday Nuggets coach Michael Malone opened a window into just how fast it can occur.
Three years ago, he was the head coach of the Sacramento Kings. When the Kings arrive in town for Saturday night’s game against the Nuggets at the Pepsi Center not one of the players in a Sacramento uniform will have been on the roster when Malone was there.
“I think it’s a completely new team,” Malone said.
In fact, just from last season to this one the Kings underwent about as extreme a makeover as any NBA team will from one year to the next.
