Every sportswriter needs at least one hot-take opinion that will get them a lot of flak from the online community.

This is just a fact of life.

I am also a biased writer. I am first and foremost a fan of the Denver Nuggets. I will always have a positive spin for their bad moves and I will be ecstatic at their good moves.

Writing about the team as rationally as possible will always be of secondary importance. Keep that in mind before judging these too harshly.

Here are my 3 hot-take opinions that are incredibly irrational, but are technically possible with enough optimism.
