@waltdenver @_fat_ugly_rat_ 🤦🏻‍♂️

@_fat_ugly_rat_ Having spent time in all of these: Hartford by a million miles. Colorado Springs blows. Honolulu is actually a pretty dumpy city. Omaha is cool.

4 randomly selected urban areas of 500K-1M, which one would you most want to live in?

@theloniousbeck @CrankDatAllDay 😂

@theloniousbeck @CrankDatAllDay Craig and Gillespie are demons?? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Nuggets legend Torrey Craig!?!?

@andy__mick What’s also forgotten is how they cheap out on coaches , GMs, facilities…

I think one think that’s been forgotten in the whole “Nuggets brass are cheap” narrative - we signed three dudes to max contracts, then traded for AG. That was a luxury tax team they were going to pay for. The new CBA screwed up that team w a 2nd apron no other team will touch

@waltdenver Everyone knows Kroenkes are getting the cheapest bench money can buy

I love Bruce Brown. He’ll always have a place in Nuggets lore. But I think the reason no one is talking about him in free agency is that Denver fans have quietly just accepted that he’s washed. Great guy, he just can’t make an impact in any of Denver’s areas of need.

@DenSports1043 Lazy take

The Nuggets Took the Cheap Way Out With Jonas Valanciunas | Shapiro and Piro x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

@Shapalicious @aronov_emmanuel @Camjohntruther They gotta start somewhere

@Shapalicious @aronov_emmanuel @Camjohntruther This will be part of other moves to help get under the cap and Watson. Are you really not getting this?

Purely a cost cutting move with no argument of making Denver a better basketball team. Gotten because of the bad MPJ trade, Denver gets one season and a future cap hit out of Jonas after the coach misused him. The Nuggets are owned by the largest private land owner in the USA.

@VicLombardi @BobbyMarks42 @nuggets We’ve always known that one of the non Jokic starters is going to have to go to keep Watson.

According to @BobbyMarks42, if the @nuggets simply waived Valanciunis and then signed Peyton Watson to a $25 million/year contract, they would get hit with a tax penalty of $177 million dollars. That’s the cost of the repeater tax. ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY SEVEN MILLION.

@TheDunkCentral @ramonashelburne Right. Who else could they offer?

The Denver Nuggets reportedly refused to include the names of Christian Braun, Julian Strawther, and Peyton Watson in trade talks for Paul George, per @ramonashelburne “League sources said the Nuggets inquired about Paul George this offseason, but talks never escalated because Denver refused to discuss Braun, Watson or Strawther, and the Clippers weren't interested in solely taking back future salary -- likely the $147 million owed to Porter and Zeke Nnaji.” (Via es.pn/4e774UJ)

@JMurrayWrld He’s not coming. Never was. Let’s move on

I do not see the Nuggets in this list. Shoot me.

@CTFazio24 He was washed when we let him go the first time. No

The Nuggets have greatly missed KCP’s screen navigation and quickness, ability to contain the ball, and overall defensive motor since his departure in 2024. A return would fill an integral void

@nuggetscountry_ @JakeLFischer Riiiiight. 👌

The word out of Denver is that the Nuggets are not in the salary cap crunch that external sources thought they’d be in, per @JakeLFischer, and Denver might be willing to go into the 2nd apron.

@RFreemyer The only trades they’ll make is to to get under the cap. They were never in on JB

@RFreemyer Do we really think they considered bringing in another 182m of contracts for Jaylen Brown. They put that out there.

@NBABlackburn It’s more about how much money they can save and still save face imo

It all comes back to what the Nuggets are actually willing to pay to be the best possible basketball team they can be, at least in my opinion.

@prmorphine @Adam_Mares The Kroenkes would still probably pay him his studio host salary

@Adam_Mares Gotta be Hanz.

Needs to happen. Hopefully not the only non-salary cap expenditure of the summer.

@prmorphine @NBABlackburn This is a nothing burger

@NBABlackburn And they answered it. Nothing to see here.

My question on draft night verbatim: “You guys have had ongoing conversations with Nikola, I assume, about the extension. How have those conversations progressed? Do you feel confident that will go as smoothly as possible?” Ben Tenzer: “Yeah, we just can’t comment on any of that because of the league rules. But you've heard what he said about his happiness here, and we feel really comfortable with that relationship.”
