As a GSW fan I am not looking forward to the departure of Malone. I see Mark Jackson as more of a motivational/inspirational force for the team than the guy coming up with the right plays. Malone came up with a lot of clever ways to get our shooters good looks. I personally feel he is more valuable than Jackson.Sixers are very high on Malone, and that pleases me immensely.
He built a strong relationship with CP3 under Monty in NOLA. A linchpin to Paul's long-term commitment.
Malone also has playoff experience from Cleveland's runs during the LeBron phase.
As much credit as Mark Jackson and Steph will get for GS' improbable run, Malone is the man behind the curtains as lead assistant.
I'm confident he will be far more successful in the league than other recycled HC products. Shaw as well, to a lesser extent.
