During the 2012-13 NBA season the Denver Nuggets, a team without the kind of superstar usually required to play at a high level in the NBA, put together a nice third-place Western Conference finish that resulted in an Executive of the Year award for general manager Masai Ujiri and Coach of the Year for George Karl. ANd now they've spent the subsequent offseason dismantling the whole apparatus.
First, they let Ujiri walk to the Toronto Raptors after Toronto reportedly offered him more than double what Denver would. Next came Karl.
