Former NBA player Calvin Booth was recently promoted to become president of basketball operations for the Denver Nuggets.
Booth replaced Tim Connelly, who recently left the organization last month for the same role with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Booth had experience working under Connelly and Arturas Karnisovas, who was general manager of the Nuggets before he left to become vice president of the Bulls.
With his first move as Denver’s president of basketball operations, Booth reportedly traded veteran forward JaMychal Green to the Oklahoma City Thunder. In the process, per Woj, the Nuggets were able to land a first-round pick in the upcoming 2022 NBA Draft.
