The Denver Nuggets fell just short in the second round of the NBA Playoffs. After firing long-time head coach Michael Malone with only a few regular season games remaining, David Adelman helped the Nuggets take the No. 1-seeded Oklahoma City Thunder seven games deep.

As the Nuggets begin their 2025 offseason, one of the first orders of business is to hire a new general manager to replace Calvin Booth and oversee basketball operations. The team had not yet moved forward with a search as of the end of the season, according to a team source. So, where does the franchise start?

The Oklahoma City Thunder are off to the conference finals. After a 125-93 win in Game 7 of their second-round series against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday, they will host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday.

Zach Buckley of Bleacher Report identified the players he believed should be at the top of the list for the Nuggets this offseason. Two of those players offered to address the obvious need for depth. The other one was a franchise-altering pursuit.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was the best player on the floor in the Thunder’s win on Sunday as a young squad passed their biggest playoff test yet.
