Finally I can start being delusional about how good he’ll be

Woah! I didn’t see this move coming at all

So tired of giving out player options to flawed, risky players EVERY SINGLE TIME

Pretty much a strict upgrade for the bench unit compared to Reggie. Overall I think this roster is a bit better than last season even with losing KCP. Now if they can just load manage starters better at the end of the season Nuggets should have another shot at getting to the Finals.

Love him or hate him he’s a Reggie replacement so at the very worst this is a lateral move. Good signing by Booth.

Booth gives out player options like candy

Well that sucks

Can I get a Calvin Player Option Booth flair?

Two years?

I like it. Even if the team believes Trey Alexander can develop into a backup PG, he definitely needs some development time. Getting an extra year to learn from a guy like Russ will be beneficial.

A player option. Come on

Glad this is FINALLY done so we can get to focusing on getting another CHIP.

I’m excited! I’ve always loved watching him play. Hopefully he’s a good fit and has a couple good seasons with us.

Ugh, I hate player options for older players, glad it’s for a low amount at least

Rooting for this to work out obviously, but if Booth trades more assets to dump the Westbrook and Saric player options next offseason I’m over him.

That’s basically free. Zeke makes twice that.

Okay I guess I owe an apology to Calvin

Guess theyre not winning in 2025 or 2026.

Name a worst duo Booth man and player options

With this move, I’m guessing this is the rotation:
Starters: Jokic, AG, MPJ, Braun, Jamal
Rotation 1: Jokic, Pwat, MPJ, Stawther, Russ
Rotation 2: AG, Saric, Pwat, Jamal, Russ
End of half/game: Jokic, AG, MPJ, Jamal, floating-hot-player

Can’t believe this sub talked themselves into Westbrook being good.

Let’s Get Russ a chip

$6.8 is steeeeppp fuck but we’ll take it at this point

Cool. Now he needs to play like he actually wants a championship. Denver has proven that we can get there. He needs to be willing to get there with us.
