What's good everyone! Welcome back.
I'll be linking everything I can from media day here in this thread. If you see anything I've missed please feel free to share it!
Everything should kick off around 9am MT before the team flies out to San Diego for training camp.
Go Nuggets!

Booth’s comment on wanting to keep AG here for many years is super encouraging.
Love Malone’s demeanor coming into the season. Seems like the squashed any rumors that him and Cal are not on the same page.
♥️🇨🇦⛹🏿♂️ so glad the Murray signing is done
Calvin chose to wear his most Nuggets tie today.
Booth is so funny bro he will just say anything and I love it

* [Mares](https://x.com/Adam_Mares/status/1839327042506289377): Michael Malone says the top priority is getting the new guys acclimated quickly and getting off to a great start.
* [Jones](https://x.com/Tjonesonthenba/status/1839327138568352206): Michael Malone; when you win a championship and you don’t repeat, everybody says you failed. So the pressure on us this year is immense. We are excited to get started tomorrow
* [Shapiro:](https://x.com/Shapalicious/status/1839327671995740633) Malone: We were a top five three-point shooting team but we didn’t generate a lot of attempts. How can we get more looks? We have a lot of shooters, how can we get 35 or more threes up a game, as long as their good looks.
* [Jones](https://x.com/Tjonesonthenba/status/1839327785904722370): Michael Malone: after a year where everyone is telling our guys that they failed, it’s my job to make sure they don’t read that bullshit
* [Mares](https://x.com/Adam_Mares/status/1839328054277279988): Michael Malone on a few key areas for improvement this season: 11-11 last year in games decided by 5 points or less last season – win % vs playoff teams – defensive rebounding
* [Wind](https://x.com/HarrisonWind/status/1839328327586488415): Michael Malone: “Julian Strawther was in the gym every day this summer. Every day. The guy is a workhorse.” “He’s poised and ready to have a really good second season.”
* [Wind:](https://x.com/HarrisonWind/status/1839328803312869867) Michael Malone: The starting shooting guard completion is between Christian Braun and Julian Strawther. It will come down to who “compliments” the starters best.
* [Jones](https://x.com/Tjonesonthenba/status/1839329195136364964): Michael Malone: failure can be a motivation, but it can’t be fatal. We can learn from failure. We have to come back with a mindset of let’s attack this season and let’s remind everyone we of who we are
* [Shapiro](https://x.com/Shapalicious/status/1839329474397298898): Malone says Westbrook “I have so much respect for his body of work and the only thing missing from his resume is a title. He was in the gym yesterday and there’s just a different energy. I love that he’s here, first ballot Hall of Famer. I love guys that bring it every night.”
* [Swipa](https://x.com/SwipaCam/status/1839329513257504885): Michael Malone stresses that Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr. and Nikola Jokic can take more threes per game this next season.
* [DNVR:](https://x.com/DNVR_Nuggets/status/1839330475623821772) Malone said the vibe around the team is that they want back on top. They tasted success, they got knocked off, and they don’t want to take this championship window for granted.
* [Shapiro](https://x.com/Shapalicious/status/1839331391328366814): Malone: “We were a top eight defense last year and our goal is to be a top three defense this season.”
* [Wind:](https://x.com/HarrisonWind/status/1839331399788343396) Michael Malone says Russell Westbrook could close games this season: “When people talk about Russell Westbrook, nobody mentions defense…End of games last season, he was guarding the opposing team’s best player.”
* [DNVR:](https://x.com/DNVR_Nuggets/status/1839331436832444439) Malone on Braun guarding other team’s best players: “I think Christian Braun has shown and proven to me that he’s willing to take on that responsibility.” He also mentioned that Westbrook was guarding other team’s best players in recent seasons. “It’s going to take all of us.”
* [Benedetto](https://x.com/VBenedetto/status/1839330885042348213): Michael Malone says one goal for Peyton Watson is to become a 35% 3-point shooter. Malone adds Watson should be able to generate more free throws and operate in the dunker’s spot at different times.
