The Denver Nuggets are entering a transformative offseason marked by significant coaching and roster changes. After making the surprising decision to part ways with head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth at the end of the regular season, the Nuggets did impressively well in the playoffs, taking the Los Angeles Clippers to a grueling seven-game series. The team has now appointed Adelman as the new head coach and has initiated an active phase in their roster management, highlighted by a blockbuster trade sending Michael Porter Jr. to the Brooklyn Nets for Cameron Johnson.

In addition, they signed fan-favorite guard Bruce Brown and completed a deal sending Dario Saric to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for veteran center Jonas Valanciunas. However, Valanciunas’ future remains uncertain following reports of a lucrative offer from Panathinaikos Athens in Greece, potentially signaling a return to Europe as he contemplates retirement or a buyout from his current contract.
