don’t ever question Denver ownership again

Nuggets with playable bench guys in BB/Jonas are gonna be a problem. Still the biggest threat to OKC in the West, imo

Great move by the Nuggets.

What are Kings doing?

Thats a GM.

CAM; Valanciunas and Bruce Brown.

And Denver got rid of SARIC and MPJ contracts!

Legendary.

And they have space for one more mid player I believe.

What a steal

Wow! I’m stunned. This group of GMs have managed to undo the damage Booth did, in one big swoop!

FINALLY a legit backup center for Jokic. It was absurd how long they refused to acknowledge the need. Cousins was ok but they didn't even get a full season out of him.

You are talking about beef with that center rotation. The only person better would have been Steven Adams.

Infinite Llamas · Post #16 » by **Infinite Llamas** » Tue Jul 1, 2025 4:06 pm

Brown/Watson/Valuciunas is a stable bench. Just need Strawther to take the next step because they still need some shooting.

Kings cant get out of their own way :lol:

Kings fans, are the Kings tanking this coming season?

Nuggets making some low key smart moves. I like Val for this team.
