A few days after the draft, Andre Iguodala fulfilled his destiny and joined his buddies in Golden State, who he’d spent the previous playoffs getting really close to. Shaw was/is a decent man but was plagued with the wrong attitude about the Nuggets ( He told the media in his first press conference that he could show the team that won 57 games the previous year how to win and … needless to say that did not go over well in the locker room). The NBA Draft was conducted TWO DAYS after that. Ty Lawson played well that year but had personal issues that would plague him into the following year and would eventually lead to his departure in 2015.īrian Shaw was hired only a week after Tim Connelly was, himself, hired by the Nuggets. Danilo Gallinari had torn his ACL and the Nuggets would be without him for the entirety of the following season. Nuggets team Governor Josh Kroenke made the decision to fire George Karl after a 57 win season, the most in franchise history. The Nuggets of September 2013 to March 2015 were fraught to say the least. If he didn’t think Malone was the right guy he wouldn’t have hired him. In true Tim Connelly fashion, the reply was short and sweet. Mandatory Credit: Chris Humphreys-USA TODAY Sports
