Pete D'Alessandro has accepted a high-ranking front office job with the Denver Nuggets.

D'Alessandro was previously with the Nuggets before he became general manager of the Sacramento Kings. D'Alessandro will support Josh Kroenke with the NHL's Colorado Avalanche as well as the Nuggets.

Tim Connelly, current GM of the Nuggets, was a huge proponent of the hire.

Vlade Divac became the chief decision-maker for the Kings this season.
