Denver Needs a Man to Close the Book

A dream would be to love our guys and send them on their way to Indiana and Atlanta, and get Paul George and Paul Millsap. With our young core, we would be on our way. Millsap alone might do it.

As stated earlier, money should not be a problem for the Nuggets this season. Getting Paul George may be unrealistic.

But, retrieving a solid star like Paul Millsap, whether it be through a trade or in this summer’s free agency is not out of the question.

In today’s league, it seems like you need at least 2 stars on your team to be competent, otherwise, you are stuck hoping to hit gold in the draft process.

This is a critical opportunity.

We also need to consider Wall, if he is unhappy. Washington might salivate at Mudiay’s potential along with some additional parts.

But if we stay with mostly the same professionals, just  play hard, have fun and don’t worry about playoffs for now.

Just develop men and character.
