Have the Nuggets taken “the greatest risk a team can take”?
Recently, Mark Cuban wrote a very revealing and intriguing blog post on the Dallas Mavericks’ recent offseason maneuvers. This was brought to my attention by Matt Moore’s insightful reaction to Cuban’s post. As they are really great reads, I would highly recommend reading both in their entirety before proceeding. Cuban’s post is here at BlogMaverick.com, and Moore’s article is here at CBSSPORTS.com.
The central theme of both is the conundrum of what to do with an aging superstar, and how that decision may impact short- and long-term team building. Is it best to trade him for draft picks and other young assets, tanking for the hope of the next draft superstar and sacrificing current success for future gains?

5-on-5: New front office appraisal
It’s been several months since the NBA’s reigning GM of the Year, Masai Ujiri, was inexplicably let go by the Nuggets and replaced with Tim Connelly. Since that time the Nuggets have made a variety of eyebrow-raising moves that have accented the most turbulent offseason in recent memory. Now, in light of the Nuggets’ recent completion of putting together a full 15-man roster under the new regime, our team at RMC will divulge our first impressions of Connelly and Co.’s transactions in our latest 5-on-5. As always, we encourage you voice your answers to the following questions in the comments section below.
Spurs to sign and trade for Mozgov?
According to HoopsWorld.com, the San Antonio Spurs have taken a significant interest in Denver Nuggets free agent Timofey Mozgov and could potentially offer up a sign-and-trade deal to obtain him. This is obviously speculation for the most part; however, the Spurs are one of the few teams in the league who have a high success rate with their reclamation projects, so it’s not hard to see why they’d be interested in Mozgov. He certainly has the talent to play at the NBA level, so perhaps the Spurs feel they can act as the catalyst to usher him from third-string center to the glamorous position of Tiago Splitter’s backup. Stay tuned as details continue to emerge.
