With 8 days to go until the draft, reports are out that the Denver Nuggets will not renew the contract of their Assistant General Manager Tommy Balcetis.

Per Mark Stein, Denver Nuggets guard and future Hall of Famer Russell Westbrook will decline his player option, making him a free agent for this coming season. That is the first domino to fall after hiring David Adelman as the permanent head coach, but it doesn’t necessarily mean that Westbrook is leaving the Nuggets. Denver can still re-sign him, and Russ outplayed his contract with Denver.

Welcome to part 2 of the Denver Stiffs “Who Knows What The Nuggets Will Do” NBA Draft Primer 2025! As I said in Part 1 of this Draft Primer (available HERE) the Nuggets currently have no picks in this draft. I repeat: unless something changes, there is nothing for Denver to do currently in the 2025 NBA draft. Denver has tradable players (again, once they have a named GM) as well as a 2031 pick that could be swapped to bring draft assets closer to Denver’s contention window, including this year.

The Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers are headed to the NBA Finals with game one tomorrow. For twenty-eight other teams that means their focus has turned to next year and, more specifically, what can they do this summer to improve their chances for next year. The Denver Nuggets are certainly not excluded from this mindset and may be one of the teams with some of the biggest changes to make…or may make very little change at all. The Nuggets are stuck between a rock and a hard place.
