Why Is Coach Malone Returning Next Season

I honestly don't know how Mike Malone is returning as the head coach for the Denver Nuggets next season. Throughout the season he said our bench didn't play well or how the bench has to start playing better, but he only plays Barton, Harris, Plumlee, Devin Harris, Craig, and Lyles. But since Paul Millsap came back and in key games we lost Trey Lyle's got a DNP, even though he has been playing better than almost everyone at power forward. He kept Will Barton in games even when he was shooting terribly and for some reason he quit playing defense instead of putting in Malik Beasley. Malik Beasley could have improved all season if he would have gotten to play frequently or at least more then he did which was almost none. Beastly was a decent Defender and three-point shooter but was not even given a chance. Also Wilson Chandler played way too much for the lack of stuff he did on the court. Why wouldn't you play a younger possibly more talented player such as Juancho Hernangomez who can possibly do everything Chandler did and more. Why didn't he play... Oh yeah he had Mono for a couple weeks in December. Then you play Devin Harris 18 minutes per game to do absolutely nothing and possibly make all our games are doing except 2. When you have Monte Morris, who surprised everyone with his play against Houston and left me and quite a few other people wondering what he can do in a game that's not a blowout, but didn't even see the court the rest of the season behind someone who should have retired last season. Also multiple times during this season he complained about the lack of effort which made every single fan screaming, PLAY KENNETH FARIED!!! Seriously where was he almost all season? I searched for all the news about him and found three things Kenneth Faried is not traveling with team, not on injury report, not suiting up for tonight's game. Nobody not even the announcers or assistant coaches knew why he wasn't playing, but hey might as well keep the guy whose not even willing to give an explanation that throws in Darrell Arthur who hasn't played all season instead of the Manimal all pissed off at the end of the bench ready to play. All he's doing is wasting potential of our players on the bench and pissing off the ones that should be playing and ruining their trade value for when they ask for a trade cause your not playing them.


Also if Malone really wanted to win why didn't he play Trey Lyles against Minnesota or leave Craig in most the game instead of Chandler played for 48 minutes scored 0 points 9 rebounds 2 assists 1 steal and 5 fouls I'm pretty sure playing a combination of 24 min between Lyle's and Craig or even 15 min, the nuggets would be playing in the playoffs right now.
