Nuggets Reshape Front Office, Share GM Duties

The Denver Nuggets have restructured their front office ahead of the NBA Draft, promoting Ben Tenzer to executive vice president of basketball operations and hiring Jon Wallace from the Minnesota Timberwolves as executive vice president of player personnel. Both executives will report to team president Josh Kroenke and are expected to share general manager responsibilities, though no official GM has been named. The changes follow Kroenke's decision in April to fire head coach Michael Malone and GM Calvin Booth, who previously led the team to its first NBA championship. Without a first-round pick in the upcoming draft, Tenzer and Wallace must quickly address roster depth and maintain competitiveness around star Nikola Jokic, who is entering his 30s. The overhauled leadership structure demonstrates a focus on stability and continued contention for another title. The effectiveness of these moves will be judged by Denver's offseason decisions and ability to meet roster needs.
