Bruce Brown left the Denver Nuggets this summer. The majority saw that as a significant defeat for the reigning champs. Calvin Booth, general manager of the Nuggets, isn’t always in agreement.<\/p>\n
Booth believes that Peyton Watson, a second-year wing, has improved significantly this year. In fact, Booth thinks Watson is prepared to take Brown’s place\u2014just in a different way.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome of these teams were trying to get Bruce, trying to make it worth it; it\u2019s like, just be careful what you wish for,\u201d Booth said about the rivals that pursued Brown. \u201cPeyton\u2019s bigger. He\u2019s longer. He\u2019s more athletic. He guards better. He passes better. He doesn\u2019t have the experience, and he\u2019s not as good offensively yet, but we need defense more than we need offense on our team.\u201d<\/p>\n
This past summer, Brown agreed to a two-year, $45 million contract with the Indiana Pacers. With Brown, the Nuggets had limited options because they only had Non-Bird rights to the veteran wing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
