Michael Singer: Kroenke: Tim’s departure has given a huge opportunity for Calvin Booth. “I’ve always thought very highly of Calvin.” Said he thinks he’s going to do a great job. -via Twitter @msinger / June 3, 2022
Katy Winge: Nuggets announce Josh Kroenke will speak tomorrow at 12:30pm -via Twitter @katywinge / June 2, 2022
One person who previously worked with Booth and still works in the NBA described him as “detailed,” and extremely prepared. For example, the person cited a mock draft exercise where scouts and executives debated all 60 picks and made note of how Booth always had something to say about each prospect. Those opinions, the person said, were always backed up with player comparisons, sometimes going as far back as 20 years, and data to support his argument. -via Denver Post / May 28, 2022

Jokic’s brothers, Strahinja and Nemanja, met with Nuggets general manager Calvin Booth and assistant GM Tommy Balcetis in recent days to discuss the team’s future. All sides, sources say, left the meeting aligned in their vision. For the new Nuggets regime, it was important to spend time with the Jokic family in person stateside in the aftermath of Connelly’s departure. Booth and coach Michael Malone have also spoken to Nikola Jokic over the phone, as the big man remains on his annual offseason respite in Serbia. Both sides reaffirmed their long-term commitment to the partnership in that conversation.
Yet while the Nuggets are expected to …
Yet while the Nuggets are expected to move forward with their core of Jokic, Murray and Porter, sources say this Booth-led front office plans on being aggressive when it comes to improving the roster around them. The focus, sources say, is on adding the kind of long and versatile defensive-minded players who are on display in the Boston–Miami Eastern Conference finals. If that means discussing the team’s draft assets as a way of upgrading the level of win-now talent, sources say, then there will be an openness to doing just that.
Nuggets general manager Calvin Booth is …
Nuggets general manager Calvin Booth is widely expected to assume responsibilities running the team, although nothing’s been made official from the organization. Nuggets governor Josh Kroenke is scheduled to address the media for the first time in years on Thursday. Jokic is close with Connelly, who helped orchestrate the Nuggets’ impromptu trip to Serbia two weeks ago to present him with the MVP trophy. Typically laidback and reserved, Jokic has generally deferred questions about roster decisions to team management. He’s often said he has trust in those tasked with filling out the roster around him.

On Wednesday, The Athletic reported that Nuggets paid Connelly below league average for executives. Booth now takes over most of the day-to-day. “The approach that Calvin Booth will take and the idea they’re already formulating inside that Denver Nuggets organization. I think this is an organization that you can expect to be aggressive and make moves moving forward here to try to get into championship contention,” Shams Charania said. “I don’t expect Calvin Booth to run a front office that will be shy about making the moves necessary to win a championship.”
