Paul George, Klay Thompson, and other free agency rumors for the Denver Nuggets

[@stephanos3029]

Rip to Jokic ever winning again w this garbage front office

[@UraStr]

great duo...Harrison + Adam, loved it

[@benjaminlenderink5770]

Paul George would be wild 😂

[@JoeSakich]

Nah, Vasa is the man

[@yoru6v]

I like PG or Klay, but we all know Booth isn’t making any moves, he loves rookies with zero experience, we are in the middle of Jokic’s prime yet he wants to go young instead of bringing in trusted vets. Hate his mindset.

[@jonathanvalero648]

Those players every year injured imagine pg get injured before playoffs again

[@OwenHooper-mv4fm]

I don’t hate Pickett at all, I just hate the idea that we’re going to enter the year with a second round pick that hasn’t played in the pros like… at all… as the answer to us not being able to get past half court against the Wolves. Effectively he’s just a rookie second round pick on a contender during Jokers prime. This is the shakiest possible ground. Just get me Monte to run the second unit and then see if Pickett can earn some minutes

[@danesovic7585]

Yeah, gaslighting is off the charts.

[@rainofkhandaq6678]

He didn't play for a reason, he isn't good. Every off season people cope with the "didn't play" nonsense. Colin only started last year too and was clearly 3x better than Pickett

[@joshackley2496]

The only thing separating the nuggets from a championship is staying healthy. Jamal was injured, that much you could see. I think the key to giving him the best chance to be healthy is not having to play a ton of minutes in the regular season. Which is why I'm happy that Reggie is back. Don't necessarily need to pickett right now

[@cjp1599]

Pg13 wants to play with Jokic. He constantly praises the Joker. If this is true Booth should have already been fired…

[@ExplodingPoteto]

😂😂 you gonna get hate if you say booth needs to be fired. I saw some likes booth move and even think what denver drafted would help denver to contend this season 😂😂😂

[@shawnjackson9194]

No way in hell we have the money for PG13. We can’t even afford KCP lol

[@youbettube]

@@shawnjackson9194we can pay KCP any amount of money. The question is if it’s worth going into the 2nd apron for him or PG13

[@vjekoslavmarinovic7407]

PG have Serbian wife who would like to associate with Natalia...

[@Munnnn8]

PG just wants to get jokier on his podcast 😂

[@victorbellew3759]

Anybody who thinks a big free agent is coming to Denver hasn’t been a fan of the team for very long.

[@wizzsrd3442]

This.

[@dropjaydee4605]

Absolutely correct

[@caidenschiller7432]

Fr bro😂

[@joshackley2496]

The NBA is about players right now not destinations. I think players want to play with Jokic. Whether or not we want those players is another question but I think things have changed from what they once were because of him. And I'm a lifelong fan who was ecstatic when Paul Millsap came here... A washed Allen Iverson was more than I could ever dream of. I think as long as Jokic wants to play Denver will try to put the best team around him and while he's at this level people will want to play with him

[@DrivingandDelivering]

@@joshackley2496it’s not looking like any big names want to come play with Jokic. Denver just not a cool destination for NBA guys for whatever reason.

[@Joe-dw1jn]

Draft picks holding this up? Wtf? MPJ, Naji, and however many picks it takes. We are talking Championships here! Who cares about picks. Booth is feeling himself a little too much. Starting to remind me of Jerry Kruase. Remember how many picks the Wolves traded for Gobert? Get it done!!!!!!! Paul George, Mal, Gordon, and Jokic.... are YOU KIDDING??

[@UraStr]

PG to the DEN...it's over...Imagine Jokic with an actual all star player, other than AG who was robbed in 2023

[@cjp1599]

I do hate Pickett, I don’t like that slow butt ball type of game, especially in Denver. The back up pg should be someone like Ty Lawson…. Someone who runs you off the court…

[@OwenHooper-mv4fm]

The Paul George thing is though- 1 year on his contract. He’s not good enough to warrant giving up MPJ for a year rental. Period. Especially not if they want us to throw in draft capital

[@5280Hoops]

Supposedly, it would include a max extension for PG

[@MattKelley-ho6ih]

I would go all in for PG. we need to shoot to contend now! Joker is almost 30 in case you weren’t aware. But booths dumbass won’t don anything but make the team worse

[@rainofkhandaq6678]

People didn't pay attention to PG or Klay apparently

[@RS-ol8or]

Harrison acts like Denver isn’t already tied into 3 max contracts. 😂 Ever hear of MPJ bro? 34 mil a year?

[@AN-iu1sb]

Not to mention that mpj has the same if not worse injury history....

[@cjp1599]

Yeah they have become shills… it’s like listening to Moser and Lombardi…. Pg13 and we get rid of two terrible salaries in mpj and Zeke, do it immediately!

[@tomzee70]

For me wind is the worst pundit on here...

[@RageQuit29]

He’s a terrible analyst. Thinks we can easily love Zeke. He’s nothing more than a shill

[@superdopehiphop]

If you can’t afford KCP you can’t afford what Klay wants money wise. They literally can’t afford him. He’ll be offered more from Magic, Houston, Pistons or some team like that with money possibly Warriors still. PS any Nuggets fan saying KCP > Murray should be in an insane asylum.

[@jadedlynx]

Was it happy hour before the show or something, cheers! Seriously though, love the show! I feel a lot less negative and judgmentally reductive in my assessments of Paul George now. Always great insights to things I would otherwise be ignorant about. Please don't give us Westbrook, what a nightmare.

[@ProudVet]

Klay is going to hit shots at TD Garden in the Finals

[@Serenity01871]

U have to go all in twolves okc and wemby coming

[@aleksandar8090]

Yeah...Pickett will pop this year for sure!!! At least after this year we will not talk about him as a potential NBA player... which he clearly isn't! Yes we will fail another year if he is backup PG, but what you gonna do when some people are completely blind!

[@matthewmckenzie8921]

I like Klay for a trade, because I think Porter and Klay in the same system would create a similar effect (if lesser) to steph and klay, where it is tough to keep track of two elite shooters on defense. Add to that a passing AND scoring big like Jokic, and that spacing would be insane. Porter could learn to move off ball, but his height as well as Jokic and Murray's passing makes me confident that having a moving Klay and a more stationary Porter would still be tough to defend.

[@MarkLewis-l3f]

When are Nuggets fans going to understand that our team isn't functioning on the same business model as teams like the Lakers & Warriors. They're building their team from within through development, not by signing over-priced free agents. Every off season we hear the same nonsense that they need to sign player X or Y. It's not happening, nor should it. That is not how this team is built to win. We don't need these high ego stars playing with Jokic. We simply need to trust in what they're doing & realize that the Spurs built their dominant teams like this too.

[@grubbery]

We already known what replacing KCP with Westbrook looks like. Yuck.

[@andygossard4293]

As a Mavs fan, how is a 33 Y.O, - O-er Eleven late season 2024 dude going to be a good investment?

[@joshuamontijo4359]

MPJ will maintain his trade value, if PG tanks a year or 2 into his 4 year deal then what? You’re stuck

[@cugelchannel4733]

Paul George would make the Nuggets instant overwhelming favorites. What the Hell was Denver thinking turning down that deal! I could totally see Steve Ballmer saying "you guys made me pass on Porter twice!" But around the league, Porter has no trade value due to injury concerns and the Nuggets don't nearly get enough value from him to justify paying him $35m. Getting rid of Zeke for salary match is a huge plus. Nuggets didn't want to give up their draft picks? What use were all those picks? They just gave up 5 second rounders to get rid of Reggie Jackson and move up 6 spots in the draft to get a backup power forward. They're desperate to hold onto that 2031 pick? Who knows if Jokic will even be still playing at that point? Hell, Skynet could have us all terminated by then? Who knows? How could they pass up that deal?

[@RageQuit29]

100% agree

[@matthewmckenzie8921]

I also don't hate Westbrook as a choice, he isn't that great anymore, but he is actually pretty cheap for his impact nowadays.

[@travisnoffsinger4507]

I'd be cool with PG but not so much Klay we need defence to go along with offence. Or if not we will need the perimeter defender if we loose KCP more then a scorer. 💯

[@MattKelley-ho6ih]

Turning down PG has to be one of the most egregiously awful mistakes by this front office.

[@MarkLewis-l3f]

PJ Hall has a pretty surprising athletic profile. He might be able to do more than just post up.

[@drewmusolino3032]

If they keep the white clemson boys lol, (Hunter Tyson and PJ Hall) Keep Jalen Picket, Julian Swarther. Sign Trey Alexander and throw DaRon Holmes right in the rotation.. pick up Vlatko Cancar's team option. Sooo if thats the route they go... yeah.. pretty sure, they could offer Klay, up to 55 Mil for 3 years, the 3 year's klay wants lol and without Denver going over into the second apron. Him taking 17-19 million a year isn't totally crazy. It seems like he's more about guaranteed years than money. Hopefully, KCP signs to a non-Western competitor, too.

[@drewmusolino3032]

Jamal Murray Klay Thompson Michael Porter Jr. Aaron Gordon Nikola Jokic Christian Braun Peyton Watson DaRon Holmes Zeke Nnaji Jalen Picket Julian Swarther Hunter Tyson PJ Hall Trey Alexander Vlatko Cancaŕ Gabe McGlothan* Jaylin Williams* (Auburn) Jay Huff*?? Braxton Key*?? Still would be just under the 2nd apron. This is what it would look like. Run a solid 8 man rotation, with a rookie baby g league bench.. haha 😂

[@Kakopromenitisvojzivot]

Paul George would be great but not for MPJ - both would be amazing

[@partrobot]

Klay is washed why would Denver want that mess?

[@GeorgeALopez-s1q]

Klay has won four championships five time allstar taller better rebounder passer much better than kp

[@-ac-8296]

Klay is absolutely washed and there is zero chance he will ever be anything again

[@DrivingandDelivering]

Starting to feel like gonna strike out

[@justmytwocentsdontgetmad]

I don't think we can afford PG13 atm. But Klay Thompson is a more than a great replacement for KCP's starting position

[@schillerman1603]

Can kelvin booth get it through his dense skull if you’re gonna look for a all star caliber player why are you doing it for Paul George, there are a billion other guys available that they could trade porter for like bogdanovic of the hawks who is far cheaper or even dejounte Murray..It would be a worthy trade giving away a good portion of thier draft capital except for Holmes for at least one of those guys considering that dejounte is 27 and still has prime years left in his career and boggy is 31. Klay and George would be terrible long term investments given thier age, price, and injury risk. To make matters worse pope will be gone soon Denver we need a replacement for him asap and know that’s not Christian Bryan even though he’s solid but he’s a bench piece that needs to develop just be realistic.

[@rainofkhandaq6678]

Westbrook is terrible

[@oac001]

It's not being cheap, the team already has 3 max contract players (and Murray just signed another max extension). They're just trying to revamp the roster within the salary cap

[@Munnnn8]

Not cheap there just putting the money into the wrong players hands

[@RageQuit29]

Ever heard of the 2nd apron? It’s not about being cheap dummy

[@arnavanand9257]

If anyone thinks Murray and mpj deserves such a big contract They r foolish. Nuggets are overpaying these players. I have hardly seen Murray injury free and playing at full potential with consistency. Mpj is a liability
