2023 buyout 

Post#1 » by THE J0KER » Mon Feb 13, 2023 10:09 am

During trade deadline week Denver solved the backup center problem, but losing Bones for nothing makes our backcourt backup case even worse. I was afraid that FO "solution" goes to Will Barton, but seems that 1st option is Reggie Jackson, which is for me way better scenario. We should go also for some defensive specialists too, like Beverley or Danny Green, IMO (with Reggie in, we don't need Ish Smith anymore).

Danny Green is going to Cleveland

For me the main problem this season has been Deandre Jordan. The guy is completely washed since 3 years already, his sign was useless. If DEN find another interesting buyout, are they going to cut DAJ to sign another player? He should had been dumped to SAN for cash considerations long time ago (as BOS did with Vonleh)

I assume they bring no more PG as promised to convince RJax, but Burks, Saric, Noel or Justin Holiday are decent players that could help 10minutes in PO and even stay in the team next season. I also like Hampton as developmental project

Unlikely, since Bryant will be taking his minutes I imagine, and even if they sign another player there's no minutes anyway (barring injury). The next season you have Kamagate coming back.

It appears likely that Reggie Jackson is going to sign with Denver. Interesting how such well paid veterans become liabilities later in their careers.
Canned in Denver.

Well, one man's buyout is another man's treasure....here's hoping this "rings" true here in Denver

Goran Dragic Waived By Bulls

This can be interesting. No available defensive specialists, but Dragic has big experience, including playoffs. Also, there can be some positive off-court effects on Cancar and Jokic. For me, the good news for Denver is that Barton is signed for Toronto (don't ask me why).
