Nene, Kenyon Martin, Carmelo Anthony, J.R. Smith, Anthony Carter, and Chris Andersen lost a combined 76 pounds during the off-season as the Nuggets try to get quicker, the Denver Post is reporting.

"We sat down at the end of the season with the coaching staff, and then George was like, 'We need to be faster, we need to be stronger, we need to be quicker,' " Nuggets' strength and conditioning coach Steve Hess said. "We want to remain strong, but we want to make sure everyone loses fat and comes in leaner and meaner. So we pretty much told every player our goal is to keep your body fat as low as possible, get you as lean as possible, and get you as fast as possible."
