Earlier today, the Nuggets agreed to terms with Calvin Booth, making the former decade-long NBA veteran the team’s assistant general manager, according to
Booth played for seven teams during his 10-year NBA career, which included a stint with the Wizards while current Nuggets president of basketball operations Tim Connelly worked there, Krawczynski notes. It has been a season of turnover in the Denver front office as several notable hirings, promotions, and departures transpired.
Owner Josh Kroenke promoted Arturas Karnisovas to general manager and Connelly to president in mid-June; the Magic lured Pete D’Alessandro out of Denver; and the Pelicans hired assistant coach Chris Finch away to serve in the same capacity.
The Nuggets are a young team with a bright future and the clear direction has been to set up for the future with solid talent and an incumbent front office staff.
Below are additional tidbits surrounding the Nuggets:
- The Nuggets announced a three-year partnership with Western Union to feature the company’s logo on the team’s uniform, Nick Kosmider of the Denver Post writes.

Per Kosmider’s report, the Nuggets also said another major announcement is coming next week, which could be related to Nike’s new deal with the league.
