Why haven't the Nuggets extended Mark Warkentien?

Why haven't the Nuggets extended Warkentien?

Star-divide

If the Nuggets don't extend Warkentien then they fail. Warkentien is the best GM in the league. It would be a mistake not to resign him.  The Nuggets biggest free agent this year could be Warketien. I mean, he only built a championship contender without the checkbook opening up.

From what i've heard the Nuggets haven't even talked to him about an extension. Does anyone know why?

Because he passed on Dejuan Blair when I thought that he was the perfect player for the Nuggets

I would work for free as an office assistant in the Nuggets’ FO.

Hmm
Warkentien is the best GM in the league.

This I do not agree with at all. There are a lot of smart and successful GMs out there…Morey, Presti, and pre-2009/10 Pritchard are all as good as or better GMs. Wark is certainly good, but to say he is the best in the league is quite a bold statement to make.

It would be a mistake not to resign him.

Now this I agree with. Good GMs don’t just grow on trees.

josh kroenke

Well, from what I hear

The Clips are a huge mess and need to completely overturn their team at every level.

STIFF LIST (as of 2/7 by Andrew Feinstein)

1. THE NUGGETS AT HOME
How is it possible that a Nuggets team with this much talent can be 7-5 at home?! Things have gotten so bad that fans are clamoring for J.R. Smith to return.

2. CARMELO ANTHONY
Kobe Bryant plays through any and all ailments. Melo uses any and ailments as an excuse not to play.

3. KEVIN LOVE
Just when the T'Wolves are looking better, Love stomps on Luis Scola and lands himself a two-game suspension.

4. CHARLOTTE BOBCATS
The 'Cats have lost 11 straight and are now 3-21 ... in the Eastern Conference! This is what happens when you let an underwear salesman with a Hitler mustache run your team.

5. MIKE BROWN
Dr. Bunsen Honeydew (Google it!) got himself a one-game suspension for making contact with a referee.
