In Part 1 of BSN’s series analyzing the major transactions of Tim Connelly’s managerial career we took a look at the Nuggets’ disastrous 2013-14 season after moving on from former Executive of the Year, Masai Ujiri. It was a rough transition, to say the least, marked by underwhelming free-agent signings and draft-day blunders. Now in Part 2 of our…...
In less than two months, just days before the 2015 NBA Draft, Tim Connelly will reach his two-year anniversary as Denver Nuggets general manager. Under his watch the Nuggets have gone from a franchise-record 57 wins in the regular season to 30 this year and are consequently making their highest draft selection in over a decade. Marked with several…...
The Denver Post’s Christopher Dempsey broke several important Nuggets-related news stories yesterday. In addition to the surprising revelation that Nikola Jokic will be signing with the Nuggets this summer Dempsey also announced the guaranteed status of Wilson Chandler’s $7 million contract for next season. Chandler will thus become an unrestricted free agent in July 2016. Additionally, Dempsey revealed the…...
This past week the esteemed NBA Draft scouting website DraftExpress.com posted their first mockup of the year. In it they have the Nuggets selecting Barcelona shooting guard Mario Hezonja, orginally from Croatia. Hezonja is a fine prospect and looks to have most of the tools necessary to succeed in the NBA: He’s long, tall, freakishly athletic and has a…...
According to Christopher Dempsey of The Denver Post, Ty Lawson might very well have played his last game in a Denver Nuggets uniform. Early Sunday morning Dempsey published an article claiming Lawson’s time in Denver “may be nearing an end.” In it he details Lawson’s growing separation from Nuggets’ staff, players and management and even outlines exact dates where…...
Melvin Hunt may not be a great NBA coach. He may not be a great designer of plays, nor a great defensive mastermind. Truth is, there’s still a lot about Melvin Hunt we do not know. What can be said about the Nuggets former interim head coach, however, is that he’s a damn good interview. He’s incredibly well spoken.…...
In the final episode of BSN’s series analyzing the Denver Nuggets’ most urgent offseason decisions we dive deep into three main subjects: one involving a player already on the Nuggets roster, one regarding a player not on the Nuggets roster and one about, as you may have guessed, a number of coaches who may very well be relocating to…...
In the first part of BSN’s “Denver Nuggets offseason to-do list” series we explored two aspects of the current state of the Nuggets: First, exposition about where the team stands monetarily, especially with regards to future player contracts; and second, a brief rundown of the first three of nine offseason moves the Nuggets should strongly consider for the betterment…...
During the last four years at my former website, come April or May (I could always rely on first-round playoff losses!), I used to write an annual column detailing the Nuggets’ most pressing offseason priorities. This would include free-agent signing, trades, draft selections, coaching moves — all the tasty stuff fans ruminate on a daily basis once the season…...
The Denver Nuggets are heading into perhaps their most pivotal offseason in over a decade. With a coaching vacancy, their highest draft pick since 2003 and hoards of cap space, the Nuggets are unequivocally entering the domain of a make-or-break summer. Thanks to the video below Nuggets fans can catch a glimpse of where general manager Tim Connelly’s priorities…...
If there’s one thing Denver Nuggets fans have been looking forward to since about mid-January when the feces unequivocally collided with the rotating ceiling ventilator, as they euphemistically say, it’s been a high draft pick. And with the 2014-15 NBA regular season now officially in the books, we have a very likely idea of where the Nuggets will be…...
The Denver Nuggets could be on the verge of completing a lazy science experiment. We tried theory A. It failed. Therefore theory A will fail forever. That seems to be the thinking behind the Nuggets’ reluctance to fully embrace Melvin Hunt as new head coach of the Denver Nuggets: Because Brian Shaw was a first-time head coach and failed, Hunt…...
