CNN’s African Voices to profile Nuggets’ Masai Ujiri

Masai Ujiri is about to get some high profile global media coverage, in what should be a very interesting in-depth profile of the Nuggets exec, his Nigerian roots, his NBA career and presumably his role as director of the Basketball Without Borders Africa camp. (more…)

Weekly in Los Angeles.

When Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari beat the Denver Nuggets [VIDEO]

Shortly after the big trade last August, we took a look back at a game in which Andre Iguodala and Andre Miller had helped the Philadelphia 76ers defeat the Denver Nuggets. Now it’s time for a similar retrospective of a game from a period when Wilson Chandler and Danilo Gallinari were playing some of the best basketball of their careers: the first half of the 2010-11 season. The date was December 12, 2010, and the New York Knicks beat the Nuggets 129-125 just months before the Carmelo Anthony trade. (more…)

Denver Nuggets, Ty Lawson agree to 4 year, $48 Million extension

According to Ty Lawson himself, the young point guard and the Denver Nuggets have reportedly come to an agreement on a 4 year, $48 million extension.  The extension will kick in for the 2013-14 season at which point the Nuggets will begin to feel the financial ramifications of retaining their core players at a market value level assuming of course they retain the services of Andre Igoudala beyond this season.  The contract negotiations had become somewhat of a distraction according to George Karl so it is good to have that behind them prior to the start of the season.

Congratulations to Ty Lawson on converting on his tremendous athleticism and talent financially.  Now we just need to see him continue to convert on those abilities on the court.  Lawson is a fantastic player, but still has untapped potential.

Look for more in depth analysis on this news coming soon.

What does the Martin for Harden trade mean for the Denver Nuggets?

The NBA world was rocked on Saturday night when the Oklahoma City Thunder traded away James Harden to the Houston Rockets.  There is no doubt the deal made the Thunder a less dangerous team this season, but what does the trade mean from the Nuggets perspective?

#NuggetsRank No. 4: Kenneth Faried

After just a single shortened season in the NBA, Kenneth Faried surges to the No. 4 spot in Roundball Mining Company’s #NuggetsRank series. The near-unanimous verdict around the league is that the Manimal, selected by the Nuggets with their No. 22 pick, was the steal of the 2011 NBA draft. This perception was further validated by the fact that he received the third most Rookie of the Year votes despite his comparatively low draft position. (more…)
