Nuggets

People, we have a trade. On the first Sunday of no football, The Vertical’s Adrian Wojnarowski proved the NBA would do its best to replace the void left by the NFL, reporting that the Denver Nuggets would be sending Jusuf Nurkic and a first-round pick to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Mason Plumlee [...]

The Nuggets are flying high lately. They have won seven of their last 10 games to improve to 21-27 and are now in the race for the western conference No. 8 seed. One of the changes the team has made during this successful stretch is benching 29-year-old combo forward Wilson Chandler. Chandler was having the [...]

One season into the Emmanuel Mudiay experience, the Denver Nuggets may be ready to shift gears. From ESPN.com’s Zach Lowe: The Nuggets are quietly exploring what they might get for Emmanuel Mudiay and multiple picks, sources say, but they’re in no rush to move Mudiay, and the Suns may not want him when they could [...]

Since returning to the Denver Nuggets’ starting lineup as the lone big, Nikola Jokic has fueled an offensive revival, putting up gaudy numbers that have translated to measurable team success. Which is why the hip injury he suffered against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night is a huge deal: [tweet https://twitter.com/NuggetsPR/status/824841069976223745?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw] Though nothing sinister has [...]

The Denver Nuggets tried to play Jusuf Nurkic and Nikola Jokic together. They really did. Through November, the two logged 104 minutes of court time together. But the Nuggets were outscored by more than 15.4 points per 100 possessions during those situations, according to NBA.com. The two, as a result, have seen just one minute [...]

If you asked Dwyane Wade to rank his three most likely free-agency destinations from this past summer, would the Miami Heat be in the top three? It’s a fair question, because, well, Wade left the Heat for the Chicago Bulls. But he also flirted with the Denver Nuggets, whom he indicated, per Christopher Dempsey of [...]

You know what the Denver Nuggets’ bottom-eight offense could really use? A healthy Gary Harris. Too bad the Nuggets won’t be getting a healthy Harris for around four weeks, per The Denver Post‘s Christopher Dempsey: [tweet https://twitter.com/chrisadempsey/status/798615857731485696] Harris already missed time this season with a partially torn groin muscle. His shooting percentages and scoring averages [...]

The Denver Nuggets really like Danilo Gallinari—enough, at least, to rebuff multiple trade overtures that have been made on his behalf. From Kevin O’Connor of The Ringer: With so much young talent, two highly valuable first-rounders in 2017, and future picks, the team is armed to make a push for a superstar if one becomes [...]

What’s Will Barton worth to the Denver Nuggets? A lot. At least a first-round pick. Probably more, though. As if you needed any other evidence that the Nuggets won the Arron Afflalo trade from 2014-15, here’s Christopher Dempsey of the Denver Post (h/t ProBasketballTalk): Now he’s being praised after a breakout season that landed him [...]

Will Kenneth Faried begin next season in a Denver Nuggets uniform? It’s a fair question, now more so than ever, knowing that Wilson Chandler should be healthy and given Nikola Jokic’s breakout rookie campaign. The Nuggets simply have too many bodies in their frontcourt, and Faried figures less into their future than any of them, [...]
