http://www.denverpost.com/nuggets/ci_15894402?source=bb Nuggets to hire Masai Ujiri as general manager Former Nuggets scout Masai Ujiri will become the team's new general manager, according to an NBA source. The door opened for Ujiri when the Nuggets were unable to reach an agreement with David Griffin, a former Phoenix Suns director of basketball operations. The two sides were working late into Wednesday evening to finalize contract details. A deal could be done as early as this morning. Ujiri declined comment until negotiations were final. Ujiri, 39, has been a rising star in NBA executive circles. He worked for four seasons in the Nuggets' scouting department, which included being named director of international scouting for the 2006-07 season. Prior to that, Ujiri worked as an international scout with the Orlando Magic in 2002-03. A native of Zaria, Nigeria, Ujiri attended prep school in Seattle, went to junior college in North Dakota and attended Montana State. He played basketball in college and then professionally for six years in Europe. While his claim to fame has been in scouting, he also has worked for years with the NBA's Basketball Without Borders. At the top of his to-do list will be to help finish what new owner Josh Kroenke has started, convince star forward Carmelo Anthony to stay in Denver. And if not, then help devise a plan to get as much as they can through a trade and move the organization in a different direction. Soon thereafter, he'll be charged with figuring out what to do with J.R. Smith, who has already been dangled in trades, re-signing coach George Karl, and sorting through how the team wants to move forward with Kenyon Martin, who is in the last year of his contract. The opening was created when the Nuggets opted not to renew the contracts of vice president of basketball operations Mark Warkentien and vice president of player personnel Rex Chapman on Aug. 3. 此人02-03年做过魔术队的国际球探... 一上任就很有多的事情要去做 MELO JR G.Karl K.Martin 的一些续约跟合约的问题 --
