2025 Off-Season

[skywalker33]

Going out on a limb here (ok, I read it on one of the local sites), guessing we're going to bring on another ball handler and close friend of Jokic's, introducing #22 of the future Nuggets, PG Vasilije Micić

I think Bruce Brown will be the backup point guard, just as he was during the championship season. Micic has underperformed so far and appears a tad bit slow. Brown looked better as a point in Denver.

There is a roster spot available, so anything is possible.

It is just MY speculation but it has a lot of reasonability to make this assumption. He and Jokic have a good friendship (good replacement for Cancar), strong history with the Serbian Nat'l team and he's experienced, a better ball-handler than Brown but not as good of a shooter as of late. Also, as you noted, we do have the roster spot.

On another noteof speculation, I really don't see Hunter Tyson lasting beyond this season. He hasn't shown any growth in SL, can't expect that in the real world.

Dominant performance in the SL by DaRon Holmes, stat line of 19/17/5/2 vs. LAC tonight. Shows this guys potential, looking forward to his 2025-26 debut season.

Came here to say Denver's new FO did great so far and to ask: why haven't the Nuggets signed Curtis Johnson yet?

He looked great imo and would fit this Nuggets team in the next couple of seasons perfectly

Nuggets just went from having horrible depth and simply put - unacceptable depth for a serious contender to having good and adequate depth

Jokic,AG,Murray,CJ,Braun - incredible starting 5, just as good and imo slightly better than with MPJ

Bruce Brown,JV, THJ round 8 a solid and legit 8 man rotation, Watson could make the cut for top 8 too, it's more of a legit 9 man rotation

and then guys like Strawtether,Holmes,Nnaji and Pickett which can also contribute and fill holes in the lineups and perhaps one of these could become a mainstay in the rotation

Nuggets have a shot this year if Murray can regain some form and they stay healthy throughout

Hunter Tyson doesn't belong in the NBA. He's proven that and he got more minutes last RS under Malone that he deserved. He showed nothing then and he's 26 now I think. I'm sure he's a good guy but he looks like a lost labrador out there. That spot should go to someone younger with some upside.

Wish Granted, CJ signed to our 3rd 2-way contract, nice call !

That is the problem; the Nuggets depend on Murray. I have zero confidence in him, and I cannot wait to see him leave.

I've always wondered how MPJ would respond to increasing his role in the offense, raising from the 3rd option to the 2nd. I always suspected he could raise his scoring, reboundi and perhaps his assists (a little anyway) up to the 23-27ppg, 10reb area, especially working with Jokic. While we can't do that now, seems he is taking his new teams follow:

"I'm not even gonna lie, they got me working probably as hard as I've ever worked."
