Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone was interviewed by ESPN during his team's Summer League game on Tuesday. The topic of what the Nuggets roster still needs came up and Malone was quick to answer with his thoughts.
"Somebody to play behind Jamal Murray," Malone said.
Murray is Denver's starting point guard. The Nuggets have been linked to Russell Westbrook of the LA Clippers since free agency opened. Nothing has moved forward with a deal for Westbrook. The Clippers have openly said they are trying to accommodate Westbrook's desire to be somewhere that he can play more.
Malone expressed faith that the Nuggets front office will take care of filling the hole.
"Calvin Booth's all over it," Malone said about finding a backup for Murray.

They really want Westbrook and vice versa. Just a matter of when he's waived by the Clippers.

I hope they are on the phone with Tyus Jones's agent right now, whispering sweet nothings in his ear. He would solve a lot of problems for them.

The Clippers need to work out a deal where they need Westbrook's contract to add Kris Dunn. I'm not saying there are no other options for them, but I think this is the main reason things are not moving at the moment.
