I wouldnt do this if im the Nuggets bcs that seals their championship window leaving them with only one chance, next year. After that Brauns and Watsons extensions kick in which will not be under 30 mils together.


No. Grant was terrible this season. He was playing up to his standard the prior season. Grant is best as a defensive player who scored when needed but not sure he would be willing to play that role at this point.

Grant quit last summer. He wanted it last summer and played like it. I think he'd play better on a contending team.

I really like Thybulle, he's really improved as a shooter, he's a great defensive playmaker, and he's just a great guy. I want to see a full season with him and Camara on the wing.

I think RW makes up the salary difference and I think this health would miraculously improve in Denver for a team not tanking.

I wouldn't want Grant in Denver. He is a definition of empty stats. One of the worst rebounding forwards in the NBA. Portland brought him to help Dame win, but it was a start of their decline. Denver had him, he could have tried to become AG type player, he chosed to become inefficient scorrer. That decision helped him earn more money, but he can't contribute to winning team this way.
