It’s good to know Tim Connelly actually did something as the Nuggets general manager yesterday. He started his day by trading Evan Fournier and a second-round draft pick for Arron Afflalo, and he completed the evening by trading Doug McDermott (Denver’s 11^th pick) and Anthony Randolph to the Bulls for Jusuf Nurkic (Chicago’s 16^th pick), Gary Harris (Chicago’s 19^th pick) and a future second rounder.

Brian Shaw had an interesting year as a first-year Nuggets coach. That’s always the case for any first-year coach of any sport. Shaw figured he had a playoff-caliber team when he took the Nuggets head coaching job. Nothing came according to plan. Read More →

Brian Shaw has to be surprised at how bad his first year as Nuggets coach is going. He didn’t figure his team would be destroyed with injuries, and he did not think he would be accumulating many losses at a growing rate.

Oh, Melo. Silly Melo. This is what Carmelo Anthony gets for being a distraction in his final year as a Nugget few years ago. His missed shot that could have sent the game to overtime was karma for orchestrating his departure to New York few years ago. Instead, the Nuggets and their fans celebrated an ugly 97-95 victory over the Knicks last night. Read More →

Kenneth Faried has been the subject of trade rumors since the season started. There were talks about him being traded to the Knicks for Iman Shumpert, but the Nuggets said it’s not going to happen. It doesn’t mean Faried won’t be traded. If the right deal comes along, he’s gone. There are no untouchables on the Nuggets roster. Read More →
