After firing GM Calvin Booth and coach Michael Malone last season, the Nuggets solidified new leadership with Ben Tenzer and David Adelman. Denver reshaped its roster by trading Michael Porter Jr. for Cam Johnson and acquiring Jonas Valanciunas as a reliable backup center. Owner Josh Kroenke prioritized depth and durability after consecutive playoff disappointments. The Nuggets added veterans Tim Hardaway Jr. and Bruce Brown, while Russell Westbrook departed. With Jokic and Murray still leading, Denver hopes revamped structure and fresh energy can push them back toward contention.

Nuggets vice chairman Josh Kroenke revealed he fired head coach Michael Malone and GM Calvin Booth due to internal discord despite the team’s playoff position and recent success, citing deteriorating behind-the-scenes dynamics.
Kroenke delayed the decision multiple times but said clashes over roster direction created a toxic atmosphere. Despite their roles in delivering Denver’s only NBA title, both were dismissed to “rejuvenate” the team. Interim coach David Adelman is 3-0.
