Danilo Gallinari was always a risk to leave the Denver Nuggets. Now, he’s good as gone. The Nuggets came to terms on a three-year, $90 million deal with Paul Millsap on Sunday night, as first reported by The Vertical’s, Shams Charania, adding to their already full supply of combo forwards.

“Don’t let the fact that 11 other Western Conference teams can talk themselves into chasing a playoff berth next season distract you from the other fact that we can too” should be the Denver Nuggets’ motto in 2017-18.

The Denver Nuggets’ core is about to get really expensive. They only have one big free agent this year, Danilo Gallianari, who holds a player option.

The Denver Nuggets’ quest to secure the Western Conference’s eighth and final playoff spot is getting a little harder. Kenneth Faried has missed five of the team’s last seven and is expected to sit out for the next seven to 10 days with a back injury, per the Denver Post‘s Nick Kosmider: [tweet https://twitter.com/NickKosmider/status/836629973859516424] Denver has [...]

The Denver Nuggets could be done dealing after swapping Jusuf Nurkic and a first-round pick for Mason Plumlee and a second-round choice. Or they could be gearing up to trade Danilo Gallinari. From ESPN.com’s Marc Stein: Now that the Jusuf Nurkic trade we’ve been anticipating for weeks has materialized at last, league sources say Danilo [...]
