    IDK - I think Russ would be an excellent addition to Nuggets roster. I didn't follow him much in the past couple of years but if he's still in a good physical condition - with his experience, temperament and skills he'll be closing couple of gaps Nuggets have.
    He might be PERFECT in fact.
    I disagree on the whole CBA message. Booth's JOB is to figure it out and FIND A SOLUTION.
    And my (our) job is certainly NOT finding excuses for Booth and his front office.
    Also - finding a way to align the coaching staff and the GM/front office is Booth's and Kroenke's JOB.
    One thing that really puzzles me is - Nuggets (FO/GM/media... etc) seem to be forgetting one very important fact: They STILL have a HOF/top 10-15 historical talent in his PRIME on their roster. They certainly are not showing signs of appreciating this fact. HOW often they had something like that!? HOW long will they be waiting for another opportunity like this one!?!?
    And on Murray - I HOPE that he learned something this season. I HOPE. Nuggets need one high-level contributor at his position THAT THEY CAN RELY ON. I HOPE that he'll approach his preparation for the next season, his conditioning, his health with a much more PROFESSIONAL attitude. I don't want to go into bashing him, I'm tired of that - so I'll just say that he needs an ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT in a BIG and substantial way.
    Lastly - is the fact that Mares is not mentioning MPJs name even once (i think) a sign of something?
    If MPJ gets on a trading block - we can only hope that Booth is not going to squander it. Otherwise, I think that MPJ is NOT one of the big problems Nuggets have.

    Westbrook could be a good add in basically the Brucie B role, back up pg and 6th man. And he is cheap at just $4 mio. If they move off Zeke, add Westbrook and Theis, maybe add a decent two way 2/3, better integrate Watson, Strawther and Tyson … they could have a nice team at under the 189 second apron. But then Malone has to accept less wins for more development to ultimately be better in the play offs.

    I'd honestly love Westbrook for the bench. Dude has basically averaged a triple double his entire career, and can run the 2nd unit more taking that from Murray so he can worry about shooting when he plays with the bench. He's also good enough that Malone will have tons more of different options for lineups. Denvers chemistry, and locker room attitude will be good for Russ. Look at the last few places he's been. Lakers with legm? Not surprising he was the one tossed under the bus. Is Westbrook the greatest player? Nah he definitely has his faults. But, very little trade assets to aquire him, and his contract is sub 5 million? No way should Denver pass that up

    KCP's loss is definitely an issue, especially if there isn't an adequate replacement in the backcourt. His defense, experience, and ability to knockdown open looks were invaluable in allowing the Nuggets to space the floor and play at a high-level offensively. Braun's defense is good, and he's getting better overall but, he's nowhere near being a KCP! Denver's depth was already a weakness, now it's even more so. DeAndre Jordan coming back is also a head-scratching move. He rarely plays and is virtually useless during the playoffs. It's still early; I'm not going to overreact but, it will be interesting to see what roster the Nuggets go into camp with in September.

      If their third unit is top 10 in the league, second unit is top 10 in the league and their first unit is top five in the league, how can people say Denver has no depth? A top 10 second unit is nothing impressive but its a second unit that compliments the first unit extremely well so it can be considered a top 8 unit.

What happens in the playoffs when teams play Braun off the floor due to his nonshooting threat? KCP might not have shot well, but at least people respected him. Braun will just be left open and more guys will swarm Jokic. Disaster in the making

      Russell Westbrook isn't KCP's replacement. He's Reggie's replacement. He's better than Reggie in every aspect of basketball other than shooting. On a team with great shooters such as Murray, Michael "Catch My Rebound" Porter JR, Aaron Gordon and Jokic, Westbrook is a perfect fit and his flaws should be concealed well. Replacing Reggie with Westbrook bolsters Denver's depth significantly as Westbrook is actually playable and can be part of the rotation.

    Does that means Westbrook will be starting p.g and Murray will be shooting guard? Or will Westbrook come for veterans minimum and that will open salary cap for signing a "proper" shooting guard ?
    Is it something else?
    Will Nuggets insert C.Brown into a starting lineup and with that move MPJ on a shooting guard position ?

      Elevate CB to starting SG. MPJ stays at his SF position. Russ would be our 6th man & run the bench. Theoretically on paper he could slide into the starting lineup next to Jamal in the backcourt. That could possibly be a closing lineup option Malone goes to. But for now we would need russ to just run the bench if we were to get him. He was in the 6MOY running with the clippers last year. A MASSIVE upgrade from Reggie.

    Westbrook is not a team player and makes poor basketball decisions constantly out of self-insecurity (eg, he feels a need to prove his worth). He's also pretty soft on defense and will only get worse as he ages. Nuggets should really try to bring on anyone else except Westbrook. Well except Klay. Westbrook is 3x more valuable than Klay, but that's not saying much. Klay's value is somewhere below an empty seat on the team bus. Nuggets need to find a strong D-first point guard and then move Murray to SG.

    First- Jokic is not old, he is in his prime. We have at least 4 great years of him. Second- MPJ going in a right direction, yes, maybe too slow, but he is better every year. Third- Russ will be high motor backup for Jamal. Fourth- Denver have couple of young players to develop. Fifth- Jokic will have decent backup in Daron.
    Actually, my biggest concern is that Malone will be (again) too stubborn and not play enough young players. Julian, Daron, Tyson, Watson, they all need a lot of playing time to develop.
