The Nuggets did not hire their last general manager until nearly four months into the 2001 offseason. In searching for Kiki Vandeweghe's replacement, the team once again feels no rush to make a decision and has set no time frame.

Owner Stan Kroenke is dealing with family business this weekend and should begin addressing the search for Vandeweghe's replacement this week.

Rumored potential candidates include: Tommy Sheppard, Washington's director of basketball operations; San Antonio assistant GM Sam Presti; Detroit vice president for basketball operations John Hammond; Utah assistant coach Scott Layden; and Mark Warkentien, the Nuggets' director of player personnel.

The Spurs better not lose him.

[T Park]

damnt.

Spurs, give the dude a freakin raise PLEASE!!!!

[Kori Ellis]

damnt.

Spurs, give the dude a freakin raise PLEASE!!!!

There's a point where a raise won't be good enough. He probably aspires to be a GM.

*sigh*

Hopefully he stays.

Emerson better stay until at least Mahinmi arrives.

[ShoogarBear]

Why would Presti fell obligated to stay until Mahinmi get here?

You think Hennigan will go with him?

[picnroll]

Unfortunately with success there is a constant drain of front office talent. Over time that takes a toll.

[timvp]

Mahinmi for Carmelo.

[Buddy Holly]

I doubt he lives, you know he's been guranteed the GM spot once RC lives/retires.

[Russ]

If Presti goes anywhere, it will be the Lakers. Hope not.

[boutons_]

RC is already and still living.

[v2freak]

Wouldn't bother me too much if he left..

hey didnt one of the spurs scoutz had an african kid livin with them?? lets hope they dont bring him along to the other team

[Spurologist]

Tommy Sheppard, Washington's director of basketball operations.

He was the Nugget's Media relations guy before he left for the wizards. Now the Nuggets want him back. That doesn't make sense. Why didn't they think of keeping him.

There's a point where a raise won't be good enough. He probably aspires to be a GM.

*sigh*

Hopefully he stays.

If he wants to be a GM, he will probably got the nod because of how good the "spurs organization" is. It might be up to him.

[Sii]

The Spurs would just replace him with another quality guy

hey didnt one of the spurs scoutz had an african kid livin with them??

Yes, R.C. adopted him after he held a camp in Africa. He plays for Central Catholic highschool and this kid is an absolute freak.

I am really skeptic of Buford's motives, but whatever. Last I heard, the kid was doing really well in school, and obviously on the court.

Search mysanantonio.com for the story, because there was a long article on him when he came.
