Denver doesn't want Kevin Love. They already know what playing a bad defense frontcourt looks like

Yeah, Denver needs a defense minded PF and a PG rotation that doesn't consist of a 35 year old 5'11 dude and a record-settingly bad 20 year old kid.

I thought Jamal Murray was Denver's PG of the future. Or he should be, anyway.

He didn't get a lot of minutes at PG until late last season, but I'd be fine with him starting next year. Jokic does a ton of the playmaking anyway.

I've got this propped up weekend at bernie's version of Jameer Nelson. Technically he was a starter. I mean, he started a bunch(started decomposing).

I was busy catching up on posts and then this Lopez trade blew up and suddenly there were 3 more pages. I can't keep up with this poo poo and it's not even draft day yet. I need to hire a post curator.

This reads less like news and more like just elaborating on what the Cavs tried to do on draft night

Hope Melo goes there and blows it all up though

Yeah, lots of past tense. Probably for the best anyway. Imagine how many points Boogie, AD, KAT etc. would put up on that frontcourt. They'd probably break records. Those fullcourt outlet passes would have been rad, though.

I'd be fine with the Nuggets just adding Millsap and maybe Beverley then calling it an offseason.

He'd be making 40 million at 36. I'm kinda wavering on the Millsap to Denver thing.

I'm a unnaturally big fan of Gallinari's game and even I can't say that any NBA team should covet him. That's a bit much. Has he even been healthy in years?

He played in 63 games last year. Personally I think he's a year or two away from a catastrophic Granger/Parsons level decline but that's just my own hot take. I wince everytime I watch his awkward baby giraffe drives.

What do my nuggets men think of the Millsap signing

Great signing, especially with that 3rd year team option. Millsap is kinda old but he's a better pairing with Jokic than Love would have been, and we didn't have to trade anybody for him. Huge defensive upgrade. Letting Gallinari walk is kind of a bummer, he's been on the team since I started watching basketball in 2012, but his knees are a timebomb. Chandler was complaining about not having a consistent role and now he's probably got starting SF locked up. Connelly needs to make one more move to get rid of some of those redundant forwards. I was really hoping for Hill but Vlade screwed that up. Trade with the Suns for Bledsoe, maybe? They balked at Mudiay and the 13th pick so it would probably have to be a big package. Current roster looks like a low playoff seed to me unless Murray has a big leap or Mudiay suddenly becomes unterrible.

I assume Milsap is going to Denver in this deal

The Millsap thing is a separate deal. Gallo was gonna walk anyway so Denver got a 2nd rounder because it's better than nothing. I think there might be a trade exception involved too. poo poo's confusing

Irving on the Nuggets would be dope, but I don't want to lose both Murray and Harris, and potentially Chandler. That's probably what it would take plus picks, right? Can't imagine the Cavs would want Faried with TT on the team.

Temporarily rousing myself from my offseason slumber to post that I think that this signing is bad. Jokic is the greatest. Goodnight, see you all when preseason starts.

I'm excited for RJ/Jokic hijinks and also excited to finally punt Jameer. There's still a tiny part of me that hopes Muday puts it together. Torrey Craig is a 2way contract guy so I'm pretty sure he's safe.

Im moving to COlorado soon. Is the Denver Nuggets team any good and worth being a fan of?

This is a good time to hop on board. The Nuggets were one of the top offenses in the league last year. They play a fast paced, pass heavy style of offense that revolves around Nikola Jokic, who is a goofy, galumphing, completely unathletic Serbian weirdo that was drafted in the 2nd around and turned out to have franchise player potential. He's one of the best playmakers in the league and an extremely efficient post and midrange scorer. The Nugget offense revolves around him, which is pretty unique. Nuggets also just signed Paul Millsap who is a 4 time all star and an extremely versatile Forward who will help shore up their defense, which was godawful last year. Also, they're my team so they are the best team.

Here's a dope Jokic pass from preseason: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF5lCmxouCg
