The Denver Nuggets PERFECT Offseason! What Does It Look Like? | NBA Ideal Offseason 

What do you wanna see Denver do this offseason?

Respectfully, as a Nuggets fan, I heavily disagree with a lot of the moves that you make in this video. The Nuggets need have a surplus of wings on the bench that are slanted to the defensive side of the ball. They need a backup pg and center. trading for Jared Vanderbilt (who was drafted by the nuggets and traded in his second year, all with Michael Malone coaching the team.) Trading for a player who is injury prone, and does exactly what Peyton Watson already does at a younger age, would be really dumb IMO. You also underrated what KCPs market will be. The Nuggets will have to pay over 20m a year for 3+ years to keep them (which they should.) I don't think drafting Furphy makes sense at all either. They need someone who can handle the ball off the bench so that Murray can be freed up off the ball in that unit like he was last year with Bruce Brown. I'm not gonna pretend to know anything about the players in the draft, but there are clear positions they need and do not need. They NEED to address backup pg and backup center. one of these should be addressed with the 28th pick, the other could be had in a trade. As long as they make a trade before they extend KCP, they can aggregate salaries in a trade, as KCPs new contract will push them into the second apron which means you can't aggregate salaries. There are multiple players I think they could target to make an immediate impact that have the salary number around 14 million, which is the combined salary of Reggie Jackson and Zeke Nnaji. My person dream scenario there would be Tyus Jones, but I don't know if the wizards would want to do that. Whichever position they address at 28, also needs a vet minimum signing as a contingency plan. You gave them Plumlee, I think thats a perfectly fine choice. I would personally want Gaga Bitadze assuming Orlando lets him walk given their depth at C with Mo Wagner and WCJ. I understand its hard to know this much about every team so I don't fault you, but I would personally hate this for the Nuggets. going into the season with Reggie Jackson as the backup point guard again would be a disaster.

appreciate the realism

Great vid bro

KCP will be offered at least $20m+ for the next 3 by another team. I doubt he stays.

The Nuggets need to replace the backup PG they lost when Bruce Brown left. They really needed his scoring bonus as Jamal Murray was hurt much of the year and Reggie Jackson is simply not playable in the playoffs (he didn't score at all in the last 3 games of the Wolves series). To get a good backup point guard who can give them 15ppg in the playoffs and be the 6th man they need, along with a viable backup for Aaron Gordon, and Nicola Jokic so their starters aren't gassed in the 2nd round of the playoffs (as Malone said they were) they may have to move off MPJ's $35m contract and get some viable role players they way Naz Reed and Walker are for the Wolves. They could decide to just wait the development of Peyton Watson and Christian Braun along with Pickett and Hunter Tyson (whom they like a lot and probably won't trade). I wouldn't sit pat, but they might do so.

If I was Denver, I would monitor the situation between Brandon Ingram and the Pelicans. He and Zion’s play style does not match at all, and he’ll be a pending free agent at the end of next year. If Ingram doesn’t agree to extend; I would see if I could offer MPJ for him straight up. Denver would lose spacing, however, the Nuggets get another ball handler who can create for himself and others. Free agents, I think the Raptors will decline Bruce Brown’s team option next month as well as Gary Harris (expired). Inquire about their interest in return back to Denver, that along with Braun and Watson’s development should be enough for the perimeter/wing. Another emphasis would be a backup big. Jonas Valenciunas, Xavier Tillman Steven Adams would be ideal; the main idea is a big body who can be a rougher player that offsets any physical plays. If not, they may have to inquire anyone who has questionable character issues such as Andre Drummond or Miles Bridges.

mpj has the height the skills and the talent to be unguardable on 6'10 with his jumpshot but he scored 6 points in a important game and getting paid 40m a year.

I didn't quite understand, does the MPJ have to "leave" Denver, I'm interested in that? Gordon? I know that Jokić and Marey are staying 100%, in fact, I'm interested in whether because of those agencies and the rules regarding contracts, it's a little different here, whether MPJ has to leave Denver, whether Denver can keep the first five, or whether they let KSP , and instead of him, bring back Braun, Bruce Braun who "wanders" from team to team and won't be expensive (I hope), but that's another story, the essence of the question is whether the Nuggets can preserve the "skeleton" of the team, can it be without KSP, here to find, in addition to the others you mentioned - Jokić, Marey, Gordon and MPJ, is "those four in danger"?

Unpopular opinion… this years draft the second round will be EXTREMELY valuable

People have to chill out on trading MPJ fr fr.

Really enjoyed watching this, i don't think the lakers would move Vanderbilt but i think your other moves could be possible... What would your opinion be on the nuggets bringing in Dwight Howard as a vet minimum(legal troubles notwithstanding)?

Good luck signing KCP for 3 years at $14m. If he’s taking a pay cut, he’ll want 4 years. You better get that offer to total >$50m or I’d bet he heads to greener pastures. KCP already has twice as many rings as any other Nugget, plays hard, and fits on every team in the league. Someone will pay him. Nuggets are cheap, but they have Walmart money. They can afford it.

I would have drafted Yves Missi with that first round pick if I was Denver, he could be a good backup center for them, also I don’t see Denver making trades with the arch rival Lakers lol

Before the playoffs or after the trade deadline we could have signed Austin Rivers, Nerlens noel and will Barton or a Stanley johnson or justice Winslow if you don't like barton but just anyone those 3 could have given us depth we badly needed. Drop jordan, Maybe Nnaji, and Gillespie. Theres room for 3 players we could have used that Zeke nnaji contract is awful were gonna have to trade a 1st just to get rid of him 😭. Idk this is so disappointing we should have been able to repeat.

Like to get some information regarding the reference material you use. Thanks 🙏🏼

Have you ever watched the Nuggets? Hunter has potential

We need scoring off the bench, a backup 5, and a backup point. KCP is gone unfortunately I would replace him with Braun and use the money elsewhere.

One immediate thing that pops to mind, given that Nuggets are a 2nd apron team.....they are not allowed to make any trade in which they aggregate salaries or acquire back more than 110% of the salary they traded (previously 125% was possible....likely what your trade machine is showing).So for that reason, Vanderbilt trade is not possible.

Jokic, Murray, Gordon, MPJ, Watson, Braun, Cancar and Jordan will surely stay Hopefully KCP will stay too. Love them together. Need Bruce Brown back and we must draft DJ Burns. Crazy Nuggets family. Hungry to win another ring...

The Lakers would never give up Vanderbilt so everything kinda falls apart there. He also was already on the nuggets. And the lakers see him as some defensive piece that helps them vs the nuggets who they really don’t like at the moment

Any way we can make an MPJ for Mikal Bridges trade happen?

Lowry was always on my radar. Hope it can happen.

YOU CALL THE MEN , boys.

Want the spreadsheet😁

If you can work a trade with Mpj for og Anunnoby or mikal bridges we need to preferably Og, but we need a 2 way player. Need to trade nnaji and I think even some of the young guys to get players who can help now its a crime to waste any more of jokics prime. Keep braun and watson unless there's something big we can get but we have to improve were getting worse every year we run it back and ksow lose a guy or two. Mpj i love him but hes not a Max player cant defend and disappears in playoffs did it last year too we were deep enough to get past it.

Pistons next ?

When we getting hornets AVC?

The lakers would never trade with us :((

Hawks please

MPJ for two playable guys

KCP is going to have alot of teams who want him. I could see someone giving him 3yr 60mill. RJ has no place on this team. He'll be gone.

Your Fired🔥 as Nuggets GM… KCP is likely gone when free agency starts✌🏻 Denver literally Traded away Jared Vanderbilt when he could break into the rotation because he couldn’t play backup C at all🤨 and has injury concerns now🙄 Nuggets turned the table back with Zeke Nnaji and has mostly played Center plus Hunter Tyson isn’t getting traded away just too draft Johnny Furphy🥱 (Waste of a draft pick ) when a C/PF prospect or a better guard is available👎

Can’t you just wave Tyson ?

Man mpj not worth that max

MPJ learns how to play basketball would be cool. He has no skill beyond elite 3p shooting. He can't drive, can't defend and has no vision. AG needs to learn how to shoot! When he hit those 3s, the Nuggets looked invincible. Braun and Watson need to grow and you need a really good backup C and possibly another wing for a proper rotation. Maybe Brown gets bought out and you can get him again...

Like all our Nuggets, honestly. NBA politics. Jokic decided not to lose to Luka... So better refresh a month and beat the USA for Olympic gold.!!! That Serbian team with Joker going through all walls ... World basketball don't bet on Serbia is going to grant you another gold medal. This is Serbia with Jokic...coming at you. Nightmare... for Dreamer team.

Mpj needs to be moved... to miss that you lose all credibility... zeke and mpj need to go...
