Nuggets are definitely better with their off season moves so far.

He is the same player. Benefited from playing with Jokic, got the bag and proved he is not that good on the Pacers, then he was on 2 tanking teams where winning players like him are usless. Now he signed one year min with the Nuggets and he will get that bag again after a year(not 2/40 like last time but, more then min)

People keep saying this but he played just as well in Indy as he did with Denver. He got a reputation bonus from being on a championship team like a lot of role players do, but he was hardly any different

The MPJ opened up so many possibilities for them. I didn’t think it was possible to add much depth but that was a fantastic trade for them.

How much more room does denver have to get a backup center ?

Don't forget Trey Alexander. Really going to have reinforcements next year.

Probably the best suiter for Al Horford or Mo Wagner at this point... They also now have a TPE that could be good toward the trade deadline.

Bruce Brown for the vet min is probably the best signing so far and it won't be beat. He's only 28 years old.

I'm shocked no one offered him at least TPMLE.

Horford would be perfect. Blow the rest of the MLE on him, hell give him a PO for the year after because we going all the way next season

Both would be great for the Nuggets. I don't remember, but I think Mo should be back at the start of the season. And the new coach will likely even play the backup 5.

If the Nuggets can add Cam, Brown and one of those guys as backup center, that's the best off season they had in a long time.

Jokic probably doesn't know this until Media day

Not like they need him in November..he'll have plenty of time to heal and get into shape as the season progresses

They kicked all their 24-25 two way guys to the curb, including Alexander.

Hard to argue with the moves denver gm has been making, but man this kid has the raw talent to give up early like that.

G league mvps haven't done much in the league, but trey is better then Jalen pickett.

I don't think he even had an opportunity to be evaluated in the league
