Calvin Booth Breaks Silence: The Untold Story Behind His Dramatic Denver Exit and Fallout with Michael Malone
Since Booth’s departure, the Nuggets’ new front office led by Ben Tenzer and Jon Wallace traded Michael Porter Jr. for Cam Johnson, re-acquired Bruce Brown, and added Jonas Valančiūnas and Tim Hardaway Jr. When I asked Booth what he thought, he didn’t flinch.
“They’re great. A lot of them we talked about when I was there. We thought we were gonna get Valančiūnas at the trade deadline,” Booth said. “Obviously, they did their own unique things, but the one thing about the new CBA, there’s only so many trades that can be done. It’s kind of like paint-by-numbers, in that sense. So anybody sitting in that seat in Denver is going to have some kind of Michael Porter Jr. for Cam Johnson concept, because that’s just one of the better deals that was out there.”
