  1. From the nuggets closing press conference it was clear that Booth wanted him to go. Kenny Pope is the man….thanks for that championship…he will always be missed 😢😢

  2. Should have agreed to a deal with Mavs and get some player/s or assets in return. All that talk about "not wanting to hep an interconference rival" is now biting them in their asses. Now, they let him walk away for nothing. smdh

  3. I thought maybe they were gonna let him walk if it were 25mil/yr but at 22mil/yr hell na!!! I guess Calv wants us to NOT compete for a championship in 2 out of his 3 yrs as GM!!! Going after Westbrick NO THANKS!!!! WTF CALV???

  4. Hard to stomach but if they bring in Westbrick on top of that … all faith will have crumbled.

  5. I would rather play Pwat out of position at the 2, then pay a 31-34year old whom just had one of the worst playoffs of his career 21million. KCP isn’t gonna get better, only worse. Entropy is going to set in. Those playoff minutes add up.

  6. Never fear. It will all be fine, since Booth and Kronke have Nnaji locked up through 27-28. After 4+ years of coaching and teaching they are convinced that Nnaji is a foundational piece for the Nuggets and have built the post- championship plan on Nnaji, who has shown them what a great player and basketball mind he is. In 24-25 they plan for him to stand-out and dominate at the 3,4, AND 5 and lull opponents into submission with his lack of scoring, rebounding, blocking and defensive lethargy.

  7. We’re cooked. Weak bench, KCP gone. Haven’t seen any impactful championship contender type moves .

  8. Ashley no KCP is getting 3 years 66 million from my Orlando magic I think you know he did the right thing by coming to Orlando I mean let's face the fact kcp is in Orlando native and you know Orlando has been talking about you know bringing somebody here for to win a championship and we wanted to be in Orlando and I think this guy's been all the right guy for the key piece and also the key piece that we've been missing to get to a championship I mean think about this he's going to come in he's going to work with Orlando magic he's going to work with my my favorite man and Paolo Banchero but now he's going to be working with him he's going to be working with the the Orlando Magic player all the other magic players and I think this is going to be great .? @ranisalman9650
