Toronto has been actively courting Ujiri to be their next GM and could be willing to offer an annual salary in excess of $2 million per year, but the Nuggets are confident they'll work something out to keep him in the fold. We're not as confident considering Ujiri's roots in Toronto, but this should be resolved soon with the Raptors finally re-arranging Bryan Colangelo's role.

Gallinari had his meniscus repaired three weeks ago, and now he'll undergo a surgery to repair his torn ACL. Since Gallinari won't have his ACL surgery until June, there is virtually no way he'll be ready for the start of the season and we could be looking at a scenario where the forward is out until around Christmas or potentially the start of 2014. It's a situation fantasy owners need to watch closely during the offseason.

"I know what type of potential this team has, so that won't weight heavily on my decision," he said. "I definitely want to win a championship. At the same time, it's a business, but I don't think it's a factor." Iguodala is expected to opt out of his current deal in search of a multi-year deal, and the Nuggets have already said it's a priority to bring him back.

Iguodala wasn't on the first- or second-team. In fact, he's never made the either team in his career -- which is interesting because the voting is done by the league's coaches. The wings that were voted on this year were LeBron James, Tony Allen, Avery Bradley and Paul George. "It's just shocking that he continues to be overlooked as a world-class defender in our league," Ujiri said. "I honestly thought he should be in the conversation for defensive player of the year, let alone first or even second team all-defense."

Ujiri flirted with the Sixers last summer, but nothing ever came of it. Although the GM's contract is set to expire during the summer, team president Josh Kroenke anticipates Ujiri will remain in Denver.

To be fair, Karl also pointed the finger at himself, saying maybe he was too arrogant entering the postseason. "We're the No. 1 scoring team in the NBA. We're the worst-shooting team in basketball. We're one of the worst 3-point shooting teams in basketball, Karl said. "We're a team with a philosophy of getting fouled that didn't always shoot free throws well. And you don't think we're creative enough to figure out what we need or how to add to this team?" Sounds like the Nuggets have quite the training camp in store for them next fall.

Iguodala will likely opt out of the final year of his contract, but it's no secret Ujiri wants to re-sign Iggy for the long term. The Nuggets will likely have to pony up in money and years to keep Iguodala, who would have plenty of willful suitors if he made it onto the open market.
