The Nuggets enter Thursday’s 1 p.m. MT trade deadline in as comfortable a position as they could have imagined. There’s nothing pressing that needs to happen for a team taking a long-view approach to team-building.
Nuggets brass isn’t into making short-sighted decisions, and management’s patience is especially pleasing to coach Michael Malone.
“What I really respect about our ownership group with (team president) Josh Kroenke and (general manager) Tim Connelly is that we’re not approaching the deadline like we have to make all these moves,” Malone said. “We’re not going to be a reactionary team – well New Orleans did this; we have to do something.
