I love the dynamic and banter between you two😂😂

[@IamHailey8]

They should have gone for Deni avdija he is around 14 mil and would have been solid to replace KCP. Great defense, improved in offense this year Inc. 3 pointers . Could have been interesting

[@ExplodingPoteto]

Deni cant be a replacement of KCP. He plays 3. But he is one of the player they should have gotten and traded mpj and offer KCP new contract. Unfortunately thats not how they want to go.

[@PetarZorić-k3b]

Agree, first five would look scary, Deni is great and cheap

[@Premium_Water]

Yea he'd be an interesting pick.

[@IamHailey8]

This off-season is so depressing. It feels like the Nuggets are doing a rebuild for the future with all these youngsters, but with Jokic window, they need a ready solid if not a star player now! They can't wait 3-4 years for these guys. They are waisting the greatest player in the world and ruining his legacy.

[@rnblovaa]

Problem is they overpay Jamal and Mpj,AG is good at where he's at with his contract,Jokic is alright where he is, need to retain kcp and getting rid of a bunch of 2nds in the draft messed us up too???

[@JovicaMilutinovic]

Atlanta drafted second round Nikola Djurisic, Denver better somehow make a trade for Bogdanovic, rather than PG. It's just speculation PG will never move to Denver, stay away from those empty stories. It's fishing for teams that can really offer a contract that answers PG-Hey PG will sign for Denver to provoke a reaction from teams that want to sign him, to hurry a little, end of story. The whole offseason we talk about how Denver needs ball handlers, draft a PF/non center and give Reggie a run for his money. The story of the ballhandler was reduced to two letters. Calvin he seems like someone who absolutely does not know what he is doing.

[@PetarZorić-k3b]

Bogdan would be enough

[@2Maradoo]

Happy Friday squad! This off-season is friggen nutty

[@johncordoue7829]

Every time we go thru the what it would take for big trades we end up going that’s too much. Like when Jrue Holiday was available or Paschal Siakam.

[@chirocket4791]

Locked up by the CBA. So trades way to limited by the CBA.

[@KingslayerSrb]

trading away reggie and picks for cash is weird only if you assume competence. either the nuggets FO is so good and smart that nobody on the whole planet can figure out what their end move is, or your premise is just wrong. things make much more sense if you accept the latter

[@vlada]

Why did they have to trade Reggie right away? Seens like his 5 milion salary would have helped in trades. Zeke has 5th highest contract now😂

[@ExplodingPoteto]

That give me headache😂😂 like mf the first they should have move is zeke now they dont have 2nd round to use for the trade.

[@gorantamburic2000]

cos he is that bad

[@Zemlja_je_ravna]

That guy was on a minimum they just wanted to get rid of him, he should be happy to still be in the nba.

[@KingslayerSrb]

@@gorantamburic2000so is hardaway, and dallas spent less to get rid of his bigger contract. insane

[@Zemlja_je_ravna]

No one would want Reggie on a trade probably.

[@UlyssesVillamin]

C Jokic PF Gordon SF Holmes SG George PG Murray 6th Braun

[@johnhuston650]

Denver needs to get the nuggets in better shape! They need to push their body, if Jamal and MPJ can’t do it? Trade them!

[@Serenity01871]

Dont overpay kcp braun is better with a 3. Kcp was like craaap offensive bricked many wide open 3s

[@Friedafterbirth]

Im kinda looking at Booth sideways now........

[@PetarZorić-k3b]

😜

[@140acresretired7]

Yea not high on guys past there prime and really don't need a 3 ball shooter do we? 3 ball is what cost us the game 7. Have to be leave there are good 5, 6 year players that just don't get a chance to play much. Front office is lazy and not working to look for good young talent out there (UK Boys) that I see all the time when watching other games. For sure guys I take over the 2 old guys you are talking about and they cost to much for being so sow. Clay Thompson Please. Nuggets got Lucky with Jokic, I'm afraid we are going to see how bad the office is. Not like they ever did much until Jokic. Murray is not a max player. If he was the Nuggets bench would of done much better when he played with them but they did not. They did with Jokic. Bad deals.

[@rainofkhandaq6678]

"Let bruce brown go" is pure salt talking, stop it Ryan

[@Zemlja_je_ravna]

Lets be honest Bruce Brown > MPJ, in what they could bring to the offense.

[@mikebirdsall1200]

Nuggets pay for performance is way out of whack. They have seriously overpaid some mediocre players. 🤔

[@OwenHooper-mv4fm]

Yep. And made trades where we got unequal value. Constantly. Going all the way back to TC. AG trade we won, KCP too. But death by a thousand cuts elsewhere

[@Premium_Water]

@@OwenHooper-mv4fm They overpaid some guys for sure. I'd get Bogdanovic and Micic on the team. Trade MPJ, KCP and Zeke.

[@bryanchan9537]

Trade MPJ

[@cjp1599]

Booth needs to be fired if he passed on pg13...

[@scanner743]

If the GM keep drafting and signing young players and the coach not playing them then firing the coach is a must

[@JovicaMilutinovic]

Next year goodbye Gordon, because they won't be able to pay him like MPJ, and now after Jamal's contract, there won't be chemistry in the locker room like before, especially since KCP is no longer there to fire up a team when is needed, because everyone else is soft, including Jokic. About Holmes he can be exactly the same as Zeke, we haven't seen him in 10 games with first team yet and we can say, ok that's it. Please we have players from rookie to second year in NBA 7 or 8 players from 17 including TW contracts.

[@PetarZorić-k3b]

Nikola samo diže nivo svoje igre, ako bude trebalo da preuzme tu ulogu to i neće biti neki problem

[@StevenTheGreat_]

Braun guarded Ant better than KCP so I don’t really understand that argument.

[@Zemlja_je_ravna]

KCP was injured

[@twasluci]

But he’s still butt on offense

[@PetarZorić-k3b]

True

[@aleksandarcipovic913]

Like i said ... they dont have a championship menatlity! Trades and decisions are for ,like mid ranged team who concentrate on development . They arent wining anything with this squad. Instead making TWO just TWO easy trades for last season and you are back to back champion !!! , Nah we go develop some mediocore players. Great! Loosers mentality

[@OwenHooper-mv4fm]

I think we need to finally be ruthless. Try and overpay/match whatever KCP needs. Then trade him later in the season. We NEED value and cap space.

[@scanner743]

It is obvious that the nuggets has lost its way after the great GM for Minisota and our new GM is way over his head and on his way to destroy the team and then the issue of coach Mike Malone who looked really bad last season and he admitted to it after the last game of the season. I do believe the coach Mike Malone is the right coach going forward because he doesn’t play young players and the rotation during the regular as the playoff rotation and playing Jokic heavy minutes every game

[@OwenHooper-mv4fm]

When I was complaining about Reggie’s player option last year and taking shit on Reddit, I couldn’t believe it. I like Nnaji and thought we could get a 3 year $9m with a team option, I took shit. Booth is actually stupid in understanding value. Period.

[@OwenHooper-mv4fm]

Not to mention trading 3 picks to move up 6 spots. Ffs man. The McGee trade too

[@bossbusiness8137]

We gon miss kcp 😢

[@gorantamburic2000]

Paul George trade would be fire

[@petarnurkic1]

You.. Чжж ,

[@NonNBAchannel-ol1mb]

swipa GOAT!

[@OwenHooper-mv4fm]

This year is a massive gamble. The variance of the bench is bigger than ever. That being said, I think some of the X factors have a higher chance of landing on the high/great side this year. Watson, Cancar, Tyson could turn into real rotational players. But we made the ball handling a much worse problem without Reggie, which was our biggest issue. We’d better hope that Holmes is capable of handling some backup big minutes or we only made our weaknesses worse.

[@Zemlja_je_ravna]

Good to see Denver looking at their options to improve.

[@AccordingSign32]

I’m always depressed too, Ryan 😂 I felt that lol

[@phillipowens3612]

🤔Jokic🃏 AG👻 MPJ CBraun 🔷🏹JMurray 6th Man PWatson Bench JStrawther DHolmes TAlexander JPickett HTyson PJ Hall ZNnaji + 4 Free agents & 1 two-way The roster isn’t in bad shape plus younger players get better👍

[@KingslayerSrb]

that roster is a 2nd round exit at best, considering all other western teams getting better

[@JovicaMilutinovic]

You You have filled 13 places with Zeke, where to put 4 more Free agents, plus 14 space in roster is DJ (which should be something like Haslam Miami to Denver- Calvin wards). With all that u have one more space, only if Alexsander and Hall is TW than u have two more spots in roster.

[@PetarZorić-k3b]

Mpj for Cam, Dennis and lakers pick next year

[@eddiecastro8227]

😂

[@tombrokow8181]

Get to the point dude, talk faster. Damn, dragging on and on.
