The Denver Nuggets enter the offseason with some interesting decisions to make regarding both their front office and their roster.

Denver is coming off a season that saw them be eliminated in the second round of the playoffs for the second consecutive season, though they were able to push the Oklahoma City Thunder to seven games.

This came after the Nuggets made the shocking decision to fire both head coach Michael Malone and general manager Calvin Booth late in the regular season.

Denver did start off their offseason by removing the interim tag and naming David Adelman as their new head coach, but they have yet to hire a new general manager.

One person who was in the running to possibly land their general manager job was assistant general manager Tommy Balcetis, but that changed on Monday.

According to multiple reports, the Nuggets decided to part ways with Balcetis on Monday in a shocking decision.

Balcetis had been with the Nuggets for since 2013 and played a key role in helping build their roster alongside Booth that helped them win a championship in 2023.

Despite this, it seems as though Denver was looking for more change in their front office as they have now moved on from both Booth and Balcetis.

Because of this, the Nuggets have two key decisions to make heading into the offseason as they first must hire a new general manager to replace Booth and then find a replacement for Balcetis as well.

So far, Denver has taken their time in finding a new general manager but with the 2025 NBA Draft quickly approaching, a decision could be made sooner rather than later.

Of course, the Nuggets may make some key changes to their roster this summer as they try to retool it around Nikola Jokic but they first need to hire a new general manager.
