Nuggets To Promote Calvin Booth To Lead Front Office Executive

The Denver Nuggets will promote Calvin Booth to their lead front office executive following the departure of Tim Connelly to the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Booth and assistant general manager Tommy Balcetis met with Nikola Jokic's camp in recent days to discuss the future of the franchise. Booth and Michael Malone also spoke with Jokic over the phone.

Booth played in the NBA from 1999 until 2009 and was a scout with the New Orleans Pelicans before spending four seasons with the Minnesota Timberwolves. Booth became Connelly's right-hand man after Arturas Karnisovas was hired to run the Chicago Bulls.
