Denver uses MLE to sign Danillo Gallinari for 3-yr (2+1PO) for $24MM, strengthens the bench and provides versatility.

Denver using BAE on C Marc Gasol to 2-yr (1+1TO) for $7MM. He provides size, some scoring and has experience.

I think you would have to give up more for the 11th and Murray from the Spurs, as bad as Murray played last year they still seem really high on him.

I do like your ending roster though.

Terrible valuations powder puff squad. Don’t get too hung up on the worthy part when this thread is called cringe worthy.


Gary Harris and Barton Prob take monte Morris to move but those 2 being traded are part of any Nugs trades

Well, everyone has their own opinion but since you're so quick to devalue my input, are you man enough to put out your own thoughts on this "cringe-worthy" thread ??

As for your Barton/Harris comment, I'd disagree completely. Barton had his best season, is a lockerroom leader and easily can hold 1st round value. Harris' defensive prowess is somewhat justifying his salary and he is capable of bouncing back from a couple of sub-par
offensive seasons, but does he need to with Joker, Murray, and MPJ ??

C'mon Coeur, this should be right up your ballpark, have some fun with it !! Take 5mins away from your NBA 2020K video game and share you insightfulness, we need some more

Yeah, I thought about that too, I'd probably add in Dozier or a 2021 lottery-protected 1st but not much more. And from what I've read, White is more highly thought of down in SAS and they need some youth in the front court.
