You can tell Minnesota is familiar with playing this team. They are being hyper vigilant on those slip actions Denver loves to get easy points with and are staying active to muck up Denver's passing lanes

I wonder could we see Durant in Denver next year depending how their postseason goes. If KD lets it be known that he wants to end up Denver I wonder who the Nuggets would be willing to part from to get him.

Not sure Denver has the assets, but even if they did Durant is a full time 4 now. A Jokic-Durant frontcourt is death defensively.

Suns asking price for Durant Is; 3 first rounders and at least 1 young player ... How young, I'm not sure?

Jamal Murray 0/7 for 1 point at half just one game after dropping 36 on OKC :lol:. And this seems to be the norm for him. Jokic will never win another ring with him as his sidekick. His 2023 Playoff run was an anomaly. Most inconsistent player I can remember seeing.

They'll probably get 2 firsts and salary matching with one of those players being useful, but I think it would be really hard for Denver to both acquire Durant and field a complete team around them. They'd likely have less depth when they need more, and Durant would be player capital that just retires.

Plus, Durant doesn't strike me as a guy that would want Denver. My guess is Knicks, Miami, Clippers, or OKC.

Jokic needs to get out of Denver. That franchise is not serious about putting a contending roster around him.
