How to navigate the Nuggets’ 2020 draft and free agency
Make Grant the top priority
Out of this quartet, Grant has proven that he’s the most important player thanks to his two-way ability and how his athleticism compliments the Nuggets’ frontcourt. Grant has already mulled over the possibility declining his $9.3 million player option for the 2020-21 season in hopes up securing a more lucrative contract.
After steadily improving over the course of his career, and being the third-most impactful player for Denver during their playoff run, keeping Grant in a Nuggets uniform should be the team’s primary priority.
A three-year or four-year contract that pays him between $20-25 million per season should be enough to keep him in Denver but that will have a direct impact on their ability to bring back Millsap.
