Thread: The Official Denver Nuggets Thread!

Probably for leverage like Wade last year.

The Milwaukee Bucks reportedly were down to two candidates for their vacant general manager job: The in-house hire of Bucks assistant GM Justin Zanik, and bringing in the Nuggets assistant GM Arturas Karnisovas.

Denver doesn’t want to lose Karnisovas and reportedly has made a move to keep him, reports Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical at Yahoo Sports.

i hope so. . . i certainly think he has the ability. . . i'm very curious as to where they plan to play him next year. . . are they going to start him at the point, or is a hybrid role his future?

Rumors flying. Jimmy Butler, Eric Bledsoe and others. Nuggets seem to want to trade the pick.

Lol. I'm not sure about what they'd have to give up to get Butler, but Butler-Jokic would be a decent combo and Butler is a defensive-minded player which they don't have. I'd hope they wouldn't include Murray in that, but they might have to.

Bledsoe you have to give up a lot less.

butler is a legit stud. . . bledsoe does little to help us, so we'll probably end up with him. . .

Butler-Jokic would be a decent combo? Decent? That would be, essentially, an unfathomable embarrassment of riches for this franchise in the post-Carmelo era.

Well, yeah, compared to former Denver teams since Melo-Billups. But, is that team better than a sixth seed in the West?

a six seed IS unimaginable riches for the poor broke-down nuggies. . . we apparently just traded our first rounder for trey lyles, a scrub backup power forward with the jazz. . . this front office is devoid of any type of inspiration. . . i understand it's just the nature of the NBA that 25 of the 30 teams don't matter, but it's depressing watching us re-arrange the titanic's deck chairs for another year. . .

That trade is disappointing.
