How realistic and is it even good to entertain a CP3 on vet minimum if he gets waived by the GSW? Don't know what to think about that, but i think that Booth is not happy that Pickett was more DNP than he got playing time. With CP3 being old and injury prone, we could run Pickett during regular season more to actually see who he is and have CP3 on limited games played and minutes played to save him for post season?
Don't know what to think about backup PG spot, but there is no way we go in the season with Pickett alone. Micic, Brogdon, CP3, who else?

Lmao D front office drafted Jokic, Murray, MPJ, a lot of quality bench players and traded for AG Insane take Take away jokic (who we passed on twice) and TC built a 30ish win team that maybe makes the playoffs once the last ten years. Playing this game is ridiculous. Take away Jokic and the Nuggets have a bunch of other lottery picks and who knows what becomes of that theoretical team. It’s pointless to speculate. |

I wish that there is no cap space and that you can pay everone as much as you want. But with cap space, new CBA, 2nd apron, making hasty move like that is simply not smart. I bet that without extension Jamal would be in best condition,behaviour,production entire year (and earn all star/all nba) + playoffs and we could easily give him the 4-5 year max extension next summer. I am afraid that we are going to get even more cocky, arrogant, out of shape, lazy Jamal this year with even more freedom to act/play as #1 option on the team. Then the Lakers, Knicks and Celtics would likely have Dodger-Yankee rosters every year. |

PJ Hall is a cool pick up. Murray deal is disappointing for me. I just don't feel like he's really earned a max. He's a great player but he's not elite. And yes, I know there are worse players with max contracts. That doesn't make it smart. He better get his s**t together in the offseason. No more excuses. What Murray deal?…. Holy s**t! How did I miss that? Unfortunately he’s 100% max worthy in the nba. The bar isn’t that high. It’s stupid but we have no choice. Any decent player gets the max these days. How much would the super max have been has he qualified? |

Question is why now? Did he earned to get paid 50 per? Will someone give him more next summer if dont extend him now? Nope. I just dont see the reason to extend him now. Unlike if he shits the bed like he did this year, that contract will become unmovable and the worst since John Wall. Even Jokic (or his agent/brothers) may ask out in that scenario... Agreed This where our minor league front office has always failed. We are the worst FO in the league (definitely bottom 5) when it comes to free agency, negotiations, options etc |

Remember that they did this early the first time they paid him too. Same with MPJ. Murrays floor is a very good player and his contract won't hurt the Nuggets unless he gets hurt. But you're now going all in with Murray as Jokics running mate his entire career/prime basically. Get a better team around them. How are they supposed to get a better team around Jokic/Murray? So, they take Jackson's $5 M saved and give it to Pope, which means they got the same team they had last year, including the inconsistent, weak Porter and Gordon. And, oh, the bench just got worse with Jackson gone. This team is headed downhill fast with no way to stop the inevitable crash. How the hell do Boston, Milwaukee, Dallas, lakers, Minnesota etc and other teams with multiple huge contracts sign reliable players and have decent benches? We seem to be the only team being hurt by salary cap rules. Everyone else just keeps signing players. We can’t even keep our own guys |

BOS is locked in to 2nd apron their roster is their roster and the moves they made last year they woukdnt have been able to make under new rules. MIL is in worse shape then us. DAL only had 2 kac contracts not 3 so they have spread out their money over more players then we have. MIN is going into 2nd apron hell as well which is why TC was so aggressive this draft. Because they're going to need those young cheap contracts going forward cause while they'll keep team together this year they'll have to start letting some guys go after this. |

Maybe we aren’t worse but we are close. I hope we can sign a backup veteran Pg and somehow trade Zeke for anyone. Maybe strawther will be playable We are looking like a play in team right now. This isn’t fun |

This isn’t fun 5/6 seed, not play-in. Jokic got us 6-seed with Austin Rivers and Facu playing key roles, and he can do it again. |

On the whole, I'm pleased with that Calvin's doing.
We needed another competent big to counter Minny - we got Holmes - great leader, and a college player who can handle big minutes.
We jettisoned Reggie - and I'm hopeful this is a roster spot now available for a veteran backup PG (which basically gives Murray second-life).
Braun is going to step in for KCP - yes it's a downgrade in shooting, but it's an upgrade for overall defense, and at a much less price (with saved monies hopefully going to the backup PG). Watson is going to have a great year off the bench. And this doesn't even include what Strawther may give us; of note, Straw played great defense when he was in the rotation - a summer to himself is only going to make him better.
On the whole - I feel like Calvin has done a great inventory of where we're weak and is addressing it - I really can't flame much on this.

Trey Alexander on a two way is almost robbery. BIG time. Promise. Better than Pickett, Tyson, Lydon, prime Mudiay

Nuggets Had Interest In Paul George But Ended Talks Over Draft Picks
JUN 28, 2024 8:29 AM
The Denver Nuggets were interested in LA Clippers wing Paul George via an extend-and-trade transaction. The Nuggets would have had to give up Michael Porter Jr., Zeke Nnaji and significant draft capital in a deal.
Talks ended over the draft picks. Denver wasn't willing to move significant draft picks in the deal.
The Nuggets likely would have incurred tax apron issues for years to come by acquiring and extending George in a deal. That makes having draft picks to replenish depth an important part of their roster-building process.
