I'm most watching how he can work the glass and his inside shooting translates... seems like a promising choice, but you never know once these kids hit the big leagues. 

Sure, the Nuggets had plenty of other problems to worry about, but I believe they would've had a much better chance of getting past the Timberwolves in the first round of the playoffs if Peyton Watson had been healthy. They screwed themselves over by rushing him back too early.

Do you envision a world where Nikola Jokic leaves the Denver Nuggets at some point during his career?

I'd go 4% on the Nuggets' chances of signing LeBron James.

Nikola Jokić's laid-back personality and love for life away from basketball have helped create the perception that his success comes naturally.

Would you accept this if you're the Nuggets? Personally, I don't think I'm ready to break up the Jokic-Murray core, but the pressure is definitely on this summer.

We've got a classic rivalry matchup on our hands for the first round of the playoffs as the Denver Nuggets will face off with their old friends, the Minnesota Timberwolves. 

I'm seeing this as a tight series, similar to the last meeting in the 2024 Western Conference semifinals. And although we talk about these two squads knowing each other so well, both the Nuggets and the Wolves look quite a bit different than they did this time last year, and certainly than they did two years ago. 

Yes, I know the Nuggets are still the No. 3 seed in the West and realistically trail only OKC in legitimate odds to win the title.

In the month of February, Denver is just 3-6. The Nuggets have beaten the Bulls, Blazers and Grizzlies — all teams they should've beaten — and have lost to the Thunder, Pistons, Knicks, Cavs, Clippers and Warriors.

Word around the league is Denver’s finally listening with teams sniffing around their rotation guys.. When the bench keeps leaking points and Jokic has to play superhero every night, standing pat starts to feel more lazy than loyal...
