I seriously don’t get it. Sure we lost brucey buckets but CBD, swatson, and zeke (nickname pending) all look like perfect fits for a nuggets playoff rotation. Maybe they won’t reach their potential this year but trading away solid young talent from a team where every starter is 30 or younger doesn’t make sense.

The nuggets are a well oiled machine of basketball. You can’t just toss in a random player mid season and expect it to work. Especially not one that we can get with the assets and contracts Booth has to work with.

The goal isn’t to win a championship this year. It’s to win this year, and the next year, and the year after that, and so on until jokic retires.

Relax and enjoy the golden age of Denver basketball

    So… trade the bench.

    CBD? Swatson? Zeke?

    Guessing… Braun? Nnaji?

    Yeah, those are the guys.

    Geeze. Make moves. Get guys. EVERY YEAR should be ALL IN. Too many analytics/basketball die–hards fall in love with deep bench 11th men. Don’t fall into that trap.

    Go get some ballers for the stretch run. Rent-a-Rings still works. Get JaVale McGee. Marcus Smart and Jae Crowder – they are hurt bad but still better than the Denver bench. Plus, they should heel by the time the playoffs roll around.

    So, you guys have a bench that is “2 years away???”

    Yep.

    Trade 'em!

      Get JaVale McGee. Marcus Smart and Jae Crowder –

      So the solution is

      • a guy who’s beyond washed
      • a guy who’s definitely out of their price range even if you package like 4 bench guys
      • a guy who just threw a fit and sat out a season because his team wouldn’t start him anymore

      got it
