OKC got alot better adding defense to their backcourt. ...teams will be exposing Murray more and more.
If we think Jamal is not it then we should trade up for Nikola Topic and get Triston Newton and Kevin McClullar. One trade is with Utah for their 10, 29, & 32 & their 2025 1st. Go all in on the future P.G. now b/c if you don't extend Murray this off season this season with him playing out his last year in Denver does not sound like a fun year. It will be Super-Grump Jamal for 9-months
No they won't try again
Prisoner of the moment Jamal Murray hate is insane. He already (at the age of 27) has the 53rd most playoff games with 20+ GameScore (goes back to 1978 playoffs).
2020/23 playoffs on way to WCF & title in 39 games he AVERAGED

@superdopehiphop Jamal always cooks okc for dinner thry HAVE nobody!!!! Who can handle Jamal the joker Aaron either Jamal schools SGA all the time
We already wasted this past season by not trading for a Bruce brown replacement, and it cost us an opportunity to go to the finals. Calvin better make some trades, we better not be rolling out jamie pickett and reggie as our back up pgs next season.🤮🤮🤮🤮
Sadly I think Booth wont get vets so that Picket can "develop" smh. Hes ruining Jokics Denver legacy.
But yes booth has 2 make some moves but it’s really hard for him 2 do that unless with MPJ & Jamal’s contracts
@@Munnnn8
Yea. And to think that Tim could have drafted Ayo Dosunmu in the draft, but he chose Bones Hyland instead. I get that the team needed offense with Jamal still injured that year, but I had Ayo higher than Bones because he’s the perfect combo guard teams are looking for these days. And he won’t ever be a liability on defense. As for offense, Ayo is more consistent than Bones because of his size. Tim Connelly is a great talent finder for high upside picks, but he sucked at finding role players to surround Jokic with.
Same thing will happen like last season, every team will get better, Denver will stay the same. Booth and owner still think Nuggets have what it takes, but they don't, we saw it this season.
Denver will not stay the same, they will actually get worse since KCP is gone and they'll replace him with a minimum vet guy and put Braun in the starting lineup. Straight up suicide.
don't know if Bogdan Bogdanovic is available and at what cost, but he is a great shooter, very good ball handler (as secondary option), capable passer, high IQ player, he has always been very good playing with Jokic in Serbian NT.
Bogdan could be a great bench player, Justin holiday can't shoot like that. But I'd rather nuggets resign kcp, hopefully 2yrs on 20m
Bodgan better offensive player
Your high off your ass if you think the bulls will trade ayo for zeke. Giddey is at least a nba player. Zeke is not. He is lucky to still be in nba. Bulls front office is dumb but not that dumb.
they just traded giddey for caruso lol hush
Of course, that’s not gonna happen especially if it’s a 1 for 1 trade. Giddey was a former lottery pick that where his value lied. You think Bulls would entertain trading for Giddey if he doesn’t still have his “upside” and doesn’t have the profile of a #6 pick? At the end of the day, both Giddey and Zeke can’t shoot and that’s at least half the offense in today’s NBA. I think Zeke still has some value, but the organization really messed up his development. Zeke couldn’t take advantage of his opportunity on the floor as well. So it’s probably best to part ways with Zeke so both parties can get a change of scenery.
You’re delusional about Murray and Jackson. Do you need to review last year’s losses? Uh yeah! Just review the box scores of every loss. If it’s not obvious to you how severe the point guard position was responsible, then you don’t deserve to comment. Murray is a 5/8 player that plays early games to get into shape, gets hurt, and acts like a middle schooler when he gets shut down in the playoffs. Jackson is continually an accident waiting to happen. Malone has to figure out why his teams collapse so often, by blowing blowout leads. Booth crapped last year, by doing nothing. Is he actually any good as a GM? The nuggets are on the verge of wasting possibly the best player in history. Denver’s oligarch better hope Jokic doesn’t realize what’s going on with his career. 🙃
Jokic is 2 loyal doesn’t complain or kick up a fuss I wish he had more of a killer instinct & showed his frustration about this this awful roster around him because we all know if Denver thought Jokic was upset they would do anything to not lose him, but that’s just Jokic he’s 2 kind doesn’t complain & just deals with what he’s got & he’s been way to good to this franchise they don’t deserve him
Great show. That said, your Zeke for Ayo proposed trade is incredibly mindless. Aside from the gross inequality of the trade, the Bulls are definitely not trading Ayo now that Caruso is gone. You do realize that Ayo will be taking over his spot in Bulls rotation, right?
Bogdanovic or DeAndre hunter would be good additions
Denver should really go for Bogdanovic as it would mean the loss of MPJ. In first place this season, he gave us 40 points and set the Atlanta franchise record with 10 three-pointers in one game. Second, at the end of the season, in the game with the Nets, he had a fierce conflict with Atlanta coach Snyder, you can find it on YT, which says that Bogi is not happy in Atlanta and Denver needs such a player who wants a ring. In addition, he is a better player than MPJ, take a look you have a lot of videos on YT.
Great talk today!
Deandre Jordan scored 21 points in a game this season. I think a lot of people forget.
Is Calvin Booth's job not spending Kroenke's money?
Fire clavin booth, or trade Jokic.
Malone or booth . Or u right f trade Jokoc... This is shameful bro
Sad Alex Caruso went to a West Contender instead to Denver. DEN better do a trade or signing to make their roster better than OKC and step up and match up
Nuggets are in trouble. Need to make a deal with Detroit blue chipper
Not intrested in draft at all its a complite waste of time and money at this point !
Denver this year play-in! I other words...We f...ed
Michael Porter jr need to work on his ball handling skills. He could be just like Tatum
Fuck this new CBA. Even if we find the guy, if he has a killer season, guess what? We can’t afford him because of the spending restrictions!!! His salary will go up!!!
This isnt about CBA. Its about Booth thinking he's outsmarting the system. Smdh!!
Get lonzo ball to play the point; move Murray to the 2.
The Nuggets could absolutely not offer anything close to a young player as good with as much upside as Josh Giddey. The prisoner of the moment is crazy (hollering at 16 yr old when he was 19 + out of OKC rotation late bc not the right fit). Who could Nuggets have offered better then super young recent 6th pick Josh Giddey (who already is top10 ever in most triple doubles for a player his age or younger).
Nuggets 1st round picks aren’t valuable either bc they’re always 25-30.
I get why OKC did it, but acting like Giddey isn’t a talented young player with upside (who Nuggets don’t have to offer) is disingenuous.
So is saying “Peyton Watson is one of the best defensive players in the NBA.”
I like his upside alot and he pops off screen on defense at times 1-1 and shot blocks but he’s far from “1 of the best defensive players in the NBA.” He def can be, but he’s not right now.
Giddey from 19-21 yrs old has AVERAGED (in only 28.9 mpg)

1.3 stocks
46-47% FG%
His 1st 2 yrs when averaging 31.3 mpg (at 19/20!) he averaged 15, 8, 6, 1.3 stocks. His Per 100 stats are 23 12 10 2stocks. Not many players in NBA avg triple double per 100.
I like Caruso a lot. Lakers letting hkn walk when he wanted to come back was dumb AF. He’s an elite defender with great IQ, but he’s 9 yrs older than Giddey.
Part of what doesn’t make sense for Bulls though is they already have a PG. Giddey needs to be a lead PG for a team.
I liked Josh Giddy
I like Ajay Mitchell better than Tristen Newton
Bring 5 more rookies yeeeeeaaaa 😢🎉😢
Joker still kills Chet as does A.G. OKC should trade up and get Clingian and move Chet to the 4. Same with Spurs; Wemby is a 4 like Duncan was. Spurs were at their best with a big bruiser at center.
😢
Here's a take.... the Nuggs say F the 2nd apron. KCP opts out & Reggie opts in. Trade 2031 1st to OKC for 12th & get Filipowski/Ware/Holmes; I prefer Filipowski. Trade 2024 2nd, 2025 2nd, Zeke, & Reggie, to Utah for #32. Take Holmes or Jaylon Tyson with 28 & Tristen Newton @ 32. Re-sign KCP for 3 years & extend Jamal for 4 years. Who cares if you 1st round pick is frozen to #30, roster is set for at least 3 or 4 years.
Hahahah yes 5 more rookies u dumb dumb 😢😆🤯🤦
Jdub is not great with the ball, he is not even good. The Nuggets will be fine, just don’t run into the wolves.
No Denver could have beaten Minnesota it still would have been seven games they couldn't beat him this quick as Dallas did so cuz they're not as good as Dallas but they definitely could have still beating them what happened is Denver did not play to the potential and if Denver gets better they'll be that much better
Denver should have grabbed Alex Caruso that's what I was saying but here's one thing Denver could actually go after Mikal Bridges I would say if you have to, trade Peyton Watson which I like Peyton Watson but he's still young and growing Trey Peyton Watson and maybe Jalen Pickett for Mikal Bridges and get back a couple of pics too boy would that help Denver but that's not all they're going to need to do more than that too
