There’s so many QUESTIONS with the Nuggets…
As the important parts of the offseason have concluded and next season is getting closer and closer the Nuggets are in an odd situation. The team that won the 2023 NBA Finals now has major question marks all around their roster besides their top four guys (Jokic, Murray, MPJ, and Gordon). Everyone else is unknown of how they’ll fit into the system like the newly signed Westbrook. Also, Coach Mike Malone’s belief he’s putting into the young guys on this team to take major leaps in minutes and production this year. As of now, there are too many concerns with no answers to feel confident that they can compete come playoff time with the deep Western Conference. Let’s talk about it.

There's no questions. Denver Nuggets are garbage. Trash franchise.
Despite the Kroenke's and Booth's "pledges" stated at the beginning of the off-season, nuggets did NOTHING to improve their roster and chances to contend.
Kroenke: "when you have the best player on the planet, you need to go for it… you owe it to him"
Booth: "I'm the steward of Jokic's prime"
Yep. That's what was said. Literally. Publicly.
And then – Nuggets lost KCP (and few others) and brought in Saric and Westbrook. On minimums.
Didn't go for great players, all-stars, value-add assets… They went for bottom of the barrel, cheap and risk-free.
It is clear that from the get-go – the only focus for the Nuggets owners, Nuggets FO and Nuggets GM was: KEEP US UNDER THE APRONS, MINIMIZE COST, OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES.
That was the PRIMARY and the ONLY focus that these people REALLY had.
Because – Kroenkes are in the process/negotiations to sell Denver Nuggets. They invested about $400M 20 years ago and now are looking at the $3.5-4B valuation/deal. About 900%+ pure profit in 20 years. Not bad at all.
And that brings us to this point – Nuggets got worse last year, and then got even worse this year. Nuggets are eroding and rotting inside-out.
Jokic is probably fully aware of this situation, and the question is – how is he perceiving it?
Nuggets are throwing away Jokic's prime – this is obvious. What does Jokic think about it!? Is he OK with it!? Or he's quietly pissed off (serbian way) and he'll blow up with a DEMAND FOR A TRADE!?
We'll see.
Personally – I'm disgusted by Denver Nuggets. By their owners, FO, their GM, their "media" such as this one, and ultimately by their fanbase.
The whole thing has that "trailer trash" vibe of low expectations and cheap hustling.
We'll see.
