    OKC got alot better adding defense to their backcourt. ...teams will be exposing Murray more and more.
  • @aperson7490
    We already wasted this past season by not trading for a Bruce brown replacement, and it cost us an opportunity to go to the finals. Calvin better make some trades, we better not be rolling out jamie pickett and reggie as our back up pgs next season.🤮🤮🤮🤮

    don't know if Bogdan Bogdanovic is available and at what cost, but he is a great shooter, very good ball handler (as secondary option), capable passer, high IQ player, he has always been very good playing with Jokic in Serbian NT.
  • Same thing will happen like last season, every team will get better, Denver will stay the same. Booth and owner still think Nuggets have what it takes, but they don't, we saw it this season.
  • @serbstero4734
    Bogdanovic or DeAndre hunter would be good additions
  • Great show. That said, your Zeke for Ayo proposed trade is incredibly mindless. Aside from the gross inequality of the trade, the Bulls are definitely not trading Ayo now that Caruso is gone. You do realize that Ayo will be taking over his spot in Bulls rotation, right?
  • Denver should really go for Bogdanovic as it would mean the loss of MPJ. In first place this season, he gave us 40 points and set the Atlanta franchise record with 10 three-pointers in one game. Second, at the end of the season, in the game with the Nets, he had a fierce conflict with Atlanta coach Snyder, you can find it on YT, which says that Bogi is not happy in Atlanta and Denver needs such a player who wants a ring. In addition, he is a better player than MPJ, take a look you have a lot of videos on YT.
  • Deandre Jordan scored 21 points in a game this season. I think a lot of people forget.
  • Your high off your ass if you think the bulls will trade ayo for zeke. Giddey is at least a nba player. Zeke is not. He is lucky to still be in nba. Bulls front office is dumb but not that dumb.

    Sad Alex Caruso went to a West Contender instead to Denver. DEN better do a trade or signing to make their roster better than OKC and step up and match up
  • Not intrested in draft at all its a complite waste of time and money at this point !
  • Michael Porter jr need to work on his ball handling skills. He could be just like Tatum
  • @mad_max_82
    Denver this year play-in! I other words...We f...ed
  • @djwaco2623
    You’re delusional about Murray and Jackson. Do you need to review last year’s losses? Uh yeah! Just review the box scores of every loss. If it’s not obvious to you how severe the point guard position was responsible, then you don’t deserve to comment. Murray is a 5/8 player that plays early games to get into shape, gets hurt, and acts like a middle schooler when he gets shut down in the playoffs. Jackson is continually an accident waiting to happen. Malone has to figure out why his teams collapse so often, by blowing blowout leads. Booth crapped last year, by doing nothing. Is he actually any good as a GM? The nuggets are on the verge of wasting possibly the best player in history. Denver’s oligarch better hope Jokic doesn’t realize what’s going on with his career. 🙃
  • Fuck this new CBA. Even if we find the guy, if he has a killer season, guess what? We can’t afford him because of the spending restrictions!!! His salary will go up!!!

    Bring 5 more rookies yeeeeeaaaa 😢🎉😢
