What could be better than forgetting the victory of your second most important player, who will not be able to help you for the rest of the season and who puts a wall between you and the title, than in this way. He won second place in the league and negotiated with the highest free agent to make up for that loss. This is what the Nuggets. On such a tight schedule and in such a sticky situation, either you move fast or they move you.
The fall from grace of Jamal Murray, the point guard for many Denver options to reach gold this year, forced a gap. Murray, his knee broken in the last minute of the game against the Warriors, he won’t be able to help until next year. Malone had a problem coming on him, but blessed if it’s gonna be like this. Despite the fact that in the last few dates he had relied on Facu Campazzo as a starter on some occasions and gave the Argentine important minutes, it seems that by the time he opts for Monte Morris as the first sword in this position to accompany Will Barton, the escort. The Campazzo and Dozier benches, which no longer eat it for a few minutes as they test it in higher positions, provide the repellant and a little more defense. But it seems that here is not going to be the thing. The franchise negotiates the addition of Austin Rivers, a combo that was surprisingly still on the market and that he has an interesting playoff experience with the Houston Rockets. With that they will have to shoot and the West is what it is, a jungle.
Nothing can say how such a steep drop will affect them in the short term or in a few months, but for now it looks like Colorado is taking a deep breath. Irregular Heat, who fought like they did with the Lakers in the bubble, clearly fell. This team has been operating since Aaron Gordon’s transfer and the new reality they face is complex but reversible if this spirit is maintained. And with a reinforcement on the way.
