Time to turn to the Denver Nuggets offseason.
First up, the case for (and against) running it back.
✅ Is running it back the most likely scenario?
✅ What types of bench players would replace this year's?
✅ Is there a way to better protect AG's health?

In Moscow and St. Petersburg, preparations for May 9 are underway: mobile internet is being shut down, bomb shelters are being checked for readiness, air defense systems are being deployed, and anti-drone nets are being installed.

It's time to have an honest conversation about Nikola Jokic's legacy if he loses this series. Coach and Raj address why the Nuggets are running out of excuses.
"His overall NBA legacy is hanging by a thread!"

@BowesChay Prof. Jabara Carley described Poland as a "skunk in the woodpile of collective security.” He has written books and appeared on podcasts to detail his conclusions.
English
The Poles were the first to shake hands with Hitler in 1934, followed by the British and their "Allies"
It would be years before the Soviets finally did so, claiming their efforts to contain Hitler were rendered useless by Polish, British and indeed French deals with the Nazis
Chay Bowes@BowesChay
The Poles were first to appease Hitler, not the Russians. In 1934, Nazi Germany and Poland signed the German-Polish Non-Aggression Pact in the First European deal with Hitlers Germany. On January 26, 1934, the Polish Ambassador Józef Lipski and German Foreign Minister Konstantin von Neurath signed the "Declaration on the Non-Use of Force Between Germany and Poland" in Berlin. It had a 10 year term. Both sides commited to resolve all disputes peacefully and "renounce aggression against each other" Again, This is the first non aggression pact any European state signs with Nazi Germany, exactly one year after Hitler became Chancellor, and literally years before the Soviets signed a similar deal.

@nbalinksbrasil Before posting a bombastic message, do some research. The new salary cap rules were explicitly made to prevent dynasties. Players have nothing to do with that. By the way, LBJ and Shaq don’t qualify. They are mercenaries.

Vencer uma vez é difícil
Vencer várias vezes é para poucos
Giannis e Jokic pareciam prontos para competir todos os anos e construir dinastias
Mas simplesmente não conseguem
Essa é a diferença deles para LeBron, Curry, Shaq, Tim Duncan, Bird, etc

@jasonrmcintyre Thanks, NBA, for three consecutive years of top 5 picks. Still, the decisions were tough.
English
This is how you build a dynasty
3 straight years, A+ on top 4 picks
(Helps that Wemby is generational)
Similar to Celtics hitting on Brown/tatum back to back
Best roster in the league
🫡 to the GM

I was always right about Ayo Dosunmu

Nuggets was the 2 seed in 2019 it’s 2026. That’s about right
Said it yesterday but the nuggets championship window talks look different probably if they didn’t lose jamal Murray for 2 straight seasons
George Karl@CoachKarl22
Championship windows open and close faster than ever in the NBA.
English
@Tyler_Polumbus Not that many. What is their trade value under the new cap rules? Jokic will be an unrestricted FA, so he has a hope of being moved.
English
The only question left for the Nuggets seems to be how many familiar faces will be gone this offseason...
English
@BobbyMarks42 He is sick and tired of carrying this team. While he may like horses, he doesn't deserve to be treated like a horse. I don't blame him at all.
English
Jokic might need to score 60 for Denver to have a chance in this game.
English
@DNVR_Nuggets @Adam_Mares Nobody cares. He will be an unrestricted FA next summer. Hopefully, Kroenke will save him from himself by trading him this summer.
English
@SamQuinnCBS Next summer, he will be an unrestricted FA. Kroenke will try to trade him. Best thing that could happen to Joker.
English
At the very least, if I'm Jokic, I'm making the Nuggets sweat.
He's never done it, but like, we're all assuming they're either letting Watson go or dumping Cam Johnson to save tax money. There were certainly problems with how peak LeBron operated, but he'd never let that fly.
Nate Jones@JonesOnTheNBA
The two best players of the 2020s (Jokic and Giannis) both have 2027 opt outs. I think people assumed Jokic was a slam dunk extension before this disaster. Will be an interesting summer if Denver fails to get out of this round.
English
@CousinTurn Next summer, he will be an unrestricted FA. I can think of teams that could benefit from him.
English
watching Jokic go out like this is sad. I still believed after the injury, but it looks like the naysayers were correct
Maybe his days competing for titles are over. maybe the injury cooked him. maybe hes back and better than ever next year. who knows
he was a good dude tho
English
@JonesOnTheNBA You assume that in the new cap era, it's easy to dismantle a team. Who are the buyers for all these contracts?
English
Folks, when I say drastic, I’m not talking about around the edges. This would
be the type of series loss that causes teams to blow everything up and start over.
Nate Jones@JonesOnTheNBA
If Denver loses this series, I can see some drastic things happening. Not being able to beat this team with Ant and Donte out is something that could break apart this team.
English
@BennettDurando Joker carried this team for 10 years. I hope he gets traded. The organization faces complete obscurity again, just like before Joker arrived in Denver.
English
I think the most difficult reality for Nuggets fans to come to terms with about this series is that Nikola Jokic’s underperformance is probably the No. 1 reason it’s 3-1, because that’s not accompanied by a convenient solution that fans can demand (roster changes, coaching, etc.)
English
@NuggetsLead It doesn't matter. They might have gotten lucky with injuries, but the team is not competitive.
English
QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Can the Nuggets pull off a 3-1 comeback or is it over???? 😬🤔
