These are all good points. I also think a lot of people don’t understand NBA team building and salary structure when they say “MPJ is overpaid” (or really, when they talk about players being overpaid). People often seem to think that NBA salary structure is like going to the grocery store with a budget… “oh imagine if we could have just bought 2% milk and a dozen eggs for the same price as this organic whole milk”. But the NBA is not like that.

Signing players to extensions early has to be part of the Nuggets strategy. Melo taught us that. It may not always work out. In the case of MPJ it has resulted in a championship and a chance at building a dynasty. It’s worked out. You will probably see something similar happen with players like Watson and Strawther. Even when it doesn’t work out, if you have a tradeable asset it’s not a bad situation.

Life is simpler when the Broncos are irrelevant

This Singleton guy is not too smart

Nuggets need to exact Ball Arena revenge on the desert tomorrow

A bit annoying these dudes hanging around like this

They shouldn’t allow two J Greens on the same team

Challenge unsuccessful

Murray just needed an ankle twist to activate

Well at least Kissinger is still dead

(I hope)

It’s a good question. I’d hate it too and would have a lot of reservations about doing gambling reads specifically. There is a story about the way gambling becoming so ubiquitous in sports media has changed the entire landscape that a lot of people in sports media probably won’t touch.

I imagine even if some of these people in sports media have reservations, they just accept it as part of their jobs. I think every job I’ve ever had involved something that I hated doing that I accepted I have to do.

I hope I only have to imagine the ridiculous things LeBron and Laker fans would say about what the NBA Cup means for legacies should they win.

I hope whoever wins the NBA Cup misses the playoffs

It’s happening!

If you get a moral victory and a real victory it should count as TWO wins

Are they just gonna hack a DJ the rest of the way?

Is DJ a rotation player?

REGGIE REVENGE

No flagrant

On track for our first moral victory of the season!

Jokic may be the MVP, but Murray may be the MVV (most valuable vibes)
