The Denver Nuggets have settled on a general manager. Now, they can concentrate on finding a new coach. The team announced Monday that Tim Connelly will take over for Masai Ujiri, who left to become general manager of the Toronto Raptors. Connellys official title with the team will be executive vice-president of basketball operations. Connelly is considered a rising front office talent, much like Ujiri when he first joined the Nuggets. The 36-year-old Connelly has been serving as the assistant GM with the New Orleans Pelicans since 2010, with his responsibilities including draft preparation, trade negotiations and player contracts. "We are extremely excited to have Tim join the Denver Nuggets organization," team President Josh Kroenke said in a statement. "He comes from a great basketball background, possesses an incredibly strong work ethic and is a wonderful person. His passion and energy for the game of basketball are contagious and I am confident that he will be a great fit with us in Denver." His first order of business with the Nuggets will be finding a replacement for George Karl after the longtime coach was fired nearly two weeks ago. Former Memphis Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins is expected to interview for the Nuggets vacant job and Indiana Pacers assistant Brian Shaw remains a hot commodity as well. The coach that Denver ultimately lures to the bench may play a big role in bringing back Andre Iguodala, whos expected to opt out of his $16 million contract for next season and test free agency this summer. The loss of Iguodala, the teams top defender, could be a blow to a team that won a franchise-most 57 games during the regular season only to bow out in the first round yet again as the Nuggets lost to Golden State. The Nuggets already will be without Danilo Gallinari for the start of next season as the Italian forward recovers from an ACL injury. "I am looking forward to building on the strong foundation that has already been established in Denver," Connelly said. Before joining the Pelicans, Connelly spent a decade with the Washington Wizards, where he was in charge of scouting, salary cap and player evaluations. He travelled all over the world looking for players and has worked with various international programs to help grow the game, including the NBAs "Basketball Without Borders" program. "Tim did a great job for us and we wish him all the best in Denver," Pelicans GM Dell Demps said. Peter DAlessandro was believed to be a candidate for the general manager position after working closely with Ujiri in Denver, but DAlessandro left last week to become GM with the Sacramento Kings. Its been a tumultuous off-season for the Nuggets, whove had to replace the NBAs top executive and coach of the year. Karl had one year left on his contract and wanted an extension that Kroenke wasnt prepared to give him. Karls dismissal came less than a week after Ujiri left the Nuggets to take over in Toronto. Ujiri was responsible for orchestrating the Carmelo Anthony trade to New York and assembled a relatively starless roster that still managed to become a formidable challenger in the competitive Western Conference.Fake Air Max 90 Black .

The players spoke Jan. 13 during a Major League Baseball Players Association conference call after Rodriguez sued the union and Major League Baseball to overturn an arbitrators decision suspending him for the 2014 season and post-season.PHILADELPHIA -- Aaron Rodgers is so confident the Green Bay Packers can save their season in a hostile environment against a team that hasnt lost at home that he forgot to stick to the typical one-game-at-a-time mantra.I feel like we can run the table. I really do, Rodgers said. The offense is starting to click a little bit more. Weve just got to put together a game where were more consistent from the first snap to the last.Before they can win six in a row, the Packers (4-6) have to win one. It wont be easy Monday night at Philadelphia.The Eagles (5-5) are 4-0 at home, including a 34-3 rout over Pittsburgh in Week 3, a 21-10 win against Minnesota last month and a 24-15 victory over Atlanta two weeks ago. Theyve outscored opponents 108-38 at the Linc.A night game means fans have more time to tailgate and get riled up for the opponent. Rodgers recalled a Monday night game in Philly in 2006 when he was still Brett Favres backup.(They were) screaming and yelling at me about getting the splinters out of my butt, Rodgers said. Give them credit. A good trash-talk is tough to do. Theyre some of the best fans. You definitely have to get ahead of them early, and try to take the crowd out.While Green Bay has lost four straight, the Eagles are 2-5 since a 3-0 start. Both teams need a win to avoid slipping further behind in the playoff race.We are still in the thick of things and have to stack up one win at a time and obviously fix the mistakes that we make, Philadelphia safety Malcolm Jenkins said.Here are some things to watch for when the Eagles host the Packers under the prime-time lights:NEW TARGET: Carson Wentz might have a familiar face for the first time this season. Paul Turner was signed off the practice squad and could make his NFL debut.Turner, an undrafted free agent, was Philadelphias best receiver in the preseason and spent a lot of time working with Wentz with the rest of the third-string offense. If Turner is active, 2015 first-round pick Nelson Agholor might sit. Agholor has struggled and is coming off a terrible performance at Seattle. He had no catches and a costly penalty for illegal formation that nullified a TD.We had a lot of opportunities together, so well have a good connection, Wentz said oof Turner.ddddddddddddTWO-HEADED RUSHING ATTACK: The Packers have had trouble generating a running game since Eddie Lacy (ankle) and James Starks (knee) were injured last month. Starks returned the last two games, but Lacy is done for the year. Now coach Mike McCarthy hopes recently acquired Christine Michael can contribute Monday night. Michael was claimed off waivers from Seattle last week. Having Michael and Starks would give the Packers two experienced running backs again. A semblance of a consistent running attack could help balance what has been a pass-heavy offense by necessity.IN THE TRENCHES: Eagles DT Fletcher Cox vs. Packers RG Jason Spriggs. Cox was the NFCs Defensive Player of the Month in September after signing a huge contract, but has no sacks since Oct. 9. Still, hes been disruptive and makes plays not registered on the stat sheet. Spriggs, a rookie second-round pick, is a natural tackle but stepped in at guard when Don Barclay injured his shoulder last week. Either Spriggs or Barclay has a tough assignment against Cox.MEN IN THE MIDDLE: The injury bug on defense hit the middle linebackers. Starters Jake Ryan (ankle) and Blake Martinez (knee) have each gone down in recent weeks. By the end of last weeks game, Joe Thomas and Carl Bradford were playing inside linebacker.Thomas normally plays on passing downs and Bradford just came off the practice squad. McCarthy may need to shift Clay Matthews back inside to help fill the void. Matthews is coming back from his own injury, a sore hamstring that kept sidelined for three games. The Packers also have a predicament because moving Matthews might mean fewer snaps for him outside. A once-productive pass rush has slowed down in recent weeks.INJURED BACKS: The Eagles could be without RB Ryan Mathews (knee) and Darren Sproles has a broken rib, so hes unlikely to carry the workload. Rookie Wendell Smallwood and fourth-stringer Kenjon Barner would be have to lead the rushing attack if Mathews is out.---Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AP-RobMaaddi---http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
