The 2010’s have been an up and down adventure for Nuggets fans. The rapid and ungraceful departure of the franchise star Carmelo Anthony followed with a brief era of success with Danilo Gallinari.
Shortly after, the GM who masterfully built the 57 win team of the 2012-13 win Nuggets, Masai Ujuri departed for greener pastures. With a brief period of consistent disappointment under Brian Shaw, (Rockies fans can resonate with the disappointment of that name), Tim Connelly launched an era of hope for the Nuggets.
He cultivated and collected a core of young, promising, and developing players.
