2025 Off-Season

skywalker33 · Post #61 » by **skywalker33** » Thu Jun 26, 2025 5:05 am

Gotta think what our bench NEEDS is scoring. How many leads have the bench lost once our superior starting 5 built that lead ? Too many because they couldn't put the rock in the hole on a consistent basis. And while I love the idea of getting Bruce Brown back, he just doesn't have the chops to bring the ball up the court, leaving that to Jalen Pickett (or resigning WB which it isn't looking likely). I could also think they may try another youngster in Trey Alexander, the G-League MVP (I believe), who I want to see in SL. If he plays well, he could be this years Strawther.

With POR drafting another C, and having Ayton and Clingan, you think they would be willing to trade Clingan for Saric and Watson maybe? It works salary wise...

Definitely like the idea but no way does POR give up on a former #7 pick for a backup SF and salary cap fodder. However, Robert Williams or Duop Reath may become available

Very solid undrafted pick-up for you all. I think there's a decent chance he could play himself onto the season roster.

Cliffnotes from NBA Draft Net:
Measured 6’3.75” barefoot, 191.4 lbs, 6’10.25” wingspan, 8’7.00” standing reach, 27.5” no step vertical and 33.5” max vertical at the 2025 NBA Draft Combine … Played two seasons at Indiana before transferring to Missouri for the 2023–24 and 2024–25 seasons … Born in Kansas City, Missouri … Known as a high-character, team-first player with a strong work ethic and competitive mindset … Selected to the Academic All-SEC Team in 2024 … Led Missouri in three-point percentage during the 2023–24 and 2024–25 seasons … Played in 34 games (starting the majority) as a senior, averaging 13.3 PPG on 50.8% FG and 39.7% from three … Regarded as a vocal leader and steady presence on and off the court.

Yea, he's an interesting Cat for sure, has those Mizzou/Kroenke connections. He's got size, 3-pt range, strong character, all things that this Nuggets team looks for. Easy to see why he got the first TW contract of the season.

Looks like a real long shot to make the team but he does have some skills.

The real offseason will begin with free agency, I hope.

Well, he's on a TW contract but he's got that true scorer's mentality it feels like this team needs,a guy who can get a bucket when needed. I did notice he does look like he needs to learn how to pass once in a while, no need for a black hole.

One report said he was a "glue guy" that allowed the two "stars" on their team to get the most shots.

Nuggets simply have to trade someone, and no one has value to bring back much except Joker, and he is a no-go.

What a stupid situation, we shall see how they manage. Paying repeater tax for the current roster is not smart.

Well done on the Cam Johnson get - you guys paid a steep price, but I think he makes your team and defence so much better!

From ESPN
"In another move on Monday night, free agent Bruce Brown Jr. agreed to a one-year deal with the Nuggets, sources told Charania."

Per Shams, Bruce Brown returns to the Nuggets !!!!! Great start to this off-season.

on a minimum deal, which lets us get one or two more nice players if there is more traded to happen..finally having C that can help Jokic would do wonders

skywalker33 · Post #78 » by **skywalker33** » Tue Jul 1, 2025 3:44 pm

As he was just waived, if he can pass a physical, how about picking up Dame Lilliard to replace WB. He can still shoot, dish dimes, has handles, just don't know if he'd go to the bench to man the 2nd unit.

Bet Westbrook is having his agent call to see if he could re-join them Nuggets !!

Not correct as it turns out. Both MPJ and Saric have been traded.
