The 2024 offseason will either be a showcase of the Nuggets’ patience, or their reaction time. It’s up to general manager Calvin Booth to determine which philosophy is the way forward after Denver’s NBA title defense ended abruptly and disappointingly in the second round of the playoffs. Were the Nuggets good enough to repeat if they just hadn’t blown that 20-point lead in Game 7?

When Bo Nix was a precocious five-star high school quarterback prospect in Alabama, he knew he was going to college at Auburn. Same place his dad did.
