Denver Nuggets (10-4) 2023-24 Season Thread: 11/22 @ Magic

[executive76]

You forgot Foye. For the right price I want Brewer back. But it' not looking good same with Mozgov.

Brewer/Faried/Hickson. That's a lot of hustle/energy guys... How many teams could have 3?



Lawson/Miller/Green
Fournier/ Foye
Chandler/Hamilton/Quincy
Faried/Arthur
McGee/Hickson/Lauvergne


Lawson
Chandler
Gallo
Faried
Mcgee

If they can get a shooter I like our chances to make the playoffd.

I'm.not worry about us making it. But we do need a shooter especially since we gave up our best shooter in the Iggy trade last summer. But it is what it is.

 

[scotthallwithapick]

Am I being a homer or is anyone else on the Erick Green bandwagon?

Minnesota discussed sign-and-trade possibilities with Denver on Brewer, but the Nuggets aren't interested in bringing back the guards – Luke Ridnour or J.J. Barea – that the T'wolves would've parted with to pay Brewer an annual salary in the $5 million range, sources said. The Nuggets had shown a strong interest in re-signing Brewer, but have been unwilling to go so high on an offer to him, sources said.
Brewer is engaged in talks with several teams around the league, but is doubtful to return to Denver now, sources said.

Iggy (31%),Brewer(29%) and Basic game(26) had the lowest 3 pt % on the team


Chandler who was the best at shooting the 3 @ 41% will be getting starter mins and more touches


The teams 2nd and 3rd best shooters were stuck to the bench last season

Fournier, selected 20th overall in the 2012 NBA Draft, averaged 5.3 points and 1.2 assists in 38 games as a rookie last season. He started the final three games of the regular season, averaging 15.3 points and 3.0 assists on .529 shooting (18-of-34).

Hamilton, the 26th overall pick of the 2011 draft, averaged 5.2 points and 2.4 rebounds in his second NBA season. He made 13-of-26 3-pointers in 40 games last season.

Throw in Green...there is no way the team will not improve shooting wise


Perimeter defense is the main issue...but I have faith in Fournier/Hamilton and Chandler to step it up.

 

[scotthallwithapick]

Yeah perimeter D needs to step up but I have faith in Shaw

Deal is done sending ex-Nuggets guard Corey Brewer to Minnesota, source tells Y! Sports

 

[executive76]

The Nuggets are getting "increasingly close" to an agreement with restricted free agent big man Timofey Mozgov, according to GM Tim Connelly (link via Christopher Dempsey of the Denver Post).

 

[cmamba40]

I'm ready to see what Fournier, Hamilton, Miller, and Green are gonna do in tomorrow's game

Nuggets hire Rockets' Arturas Karnisovas as assistant GM


The purge of Houston Rockets' front-office executives continued with director of player personnel Arturas Karnisovas accepting the assistant general manager job with the Denver Nuggets, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Karnisovas, 42, will join new general manager Tim Connelly in the Nuggets' front office.
The Philadelphia 76ers hired away Rockets executive vice president Sam Hinkie in May to become the franchise's GM.
After joining the Rockets as an international scout in 2008, Karnisovas had been promoted through the organization and most recently held the title of director of scouting.
As a player, Karnisovas had a decorated basketball career. After starring under P.J. Carlesimo at Seton Hall, Karnisovas won two Olympic bronze medals (1992 and '96) for Lithuania and was selected as FIBA's European Player of the Year in 1996. He reached the Euroleague Final Four three times.

Rumble out of the Rockies: Denver Nuggets expressing certifiable interest in trying to sign free-agent PG Nate Robinson

 

[aepps20]

Nate would be a decent pickup but they need to get rid of Dre.

 

[blazers21ntnp]

Nate would be a decent pickup but they need to get rid of Dre.

I pray this happens somehow.

Hearing: Denver has emerged as new threat in Mike Miller chase along w/OKC & MEM. Nuggets have wing PT to offer after Iguodala/Brewer exits
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 20, 2013

 

[blakmn89]

Hope the Nuggets get MIke & Nate both will be great additions & have a good feeling B Shaw coaching will surprise the NBA

 

[aepps20]

If we get Mike I think this off season would be a success.

 

[cmamba40]

http://www.denverpost.com/nuggets/ci_23708580/nate-robinson-sign-deal-denver-nuggets

Nate agrees to a 2 year deal worth 4.03 mil 

 

[blakmn89]

@ Nate signing. Now time to get Mike Miller

 

[scotthallwithapick]

I don't think we get Mike but I still say this offseason was good.

Yea we lost Iggy but he didn't really fit us properly but I will miss his Defense

Got rid of Brewer
Hopefully getting rid of Miller
Green is a good rookie
Getting Nate
Getting Foye - whatever
Getting JJ/Arthur
Getting Shaw
Starting Javale

 

[aepps20]

Most importantly Karl is gone. That alone made the off season great.

 

[blazers21ntnp]

Real pumped about the Nate signing.

So, the roster stands at 13 with Andre Miller & without Mozgov, Quincy & Green.

 

[executive76]

#NYNuggets

The teams offense was already improved before Nate and he brings hustle/heart




Supposedly Spurs and Kings are interested in Mozgov. (He's a back up plan in case the Spurs don't get Oden) S&T with Gary Neal maybe?

Unless Mozgov/Miller are packaged together for something good. They need to keep Mozgov.

@ the thought of another trade to a Western conference team...especially the Spurs

 

[mauiwowie]

Andre Miller switches up the tempo of the game and i enjoyed his accurate oops most of the time, but i hated seeing him mess things up in the playoffs so i'm at a bit of a crossroads.

 

[blazers21ntnp]

Robinson, who averaged 13.1 points for the Chicago Bulls last season, should be expected to get key minutes off the bench. So what about Andre Miller? Asked if last season's backup point guard will remain with the Nuggets, Connelly said "Absolutely." He said he spoke with Miller, as well as the other guards, before signing Robinson.

I hope Connelly is just saying this, and is actually shopping Miller. He has never really seemed like he wanted to be part of the Nuggets since his return, and that was even with GK catering towards him--I can't imagine how unhappy he'll be coming off the bench with even less minutes.

 

[executive76]

3 years 14 million for Mozgov LOL
