I thought Booth was ok but boy this one knowledgeable fan seems unconvinced.
Very interesting read.

Booth sucks, you could tell he was an idiot when he did that embarrassing interview and then said he didn't realize he would be "publicly quoted" or whatever the heck his excuse was

Peyton Watson will be a player. That was the right call so was Christian Braun.

They wouldnt have been able to pay Bruce Brown or Jeff Green even if Connelly was there thats the biggest reason they fell off from last years level. They went from a great consistent 8 man rotation to just a starting 5 w/ one of the worst benches

Re: Denver GM issues?
I see where this is going. If Denver wins another title it will be solely due to Jokic's brilliance, however, if he doesn't, it will be because everyone else came up short. Peyton Watson had a better season than Bruce Brown did and he will have a better career. Bruce also left for more money which the Nuggets couldn't match due to CBA, so why are people still talking about him?
If the front office brings in players, it's up to the coaches to coach them up. The fact the Nuggets have an unreliable (inexperienced bench) is as much as demerit on the coaching staff as it is the front office. Or... we can see that Denver had to make some difficult sacrifices of short term pain for longterm gain. Braun and Watson are key components to the Nuggets future. And even if they had a better backup PG and C, that is still no guarantee the Nuggets would win the title.
They are in the cluster of teams capable of winning it all, but they were never considered some juggernaut that can't be beat.

Yeah I like them both but the team desperately needs more ballhandlers and passes. And drivers. And neither of them seem like that guy.
That's more an issue for SG Braun than PF Watson.
Braun also needs to improve his shooting, which Watson could use as well.
