@wnbafire And getting so many different guys on minimums is not to be scoffed at. Especially when minimums is all we could offer. We could have ended up like the Warriors not signing anyone lol
The Nuggets are now showing interest in DeMar DeRozan as their replacement for Peyton Watson.
DeRozan would join a Denver roster now in need of an impact wing.
Denver’s potential starting lineup, if they sign DeRozan:
Jamal Murray
DeRozan
Cam Johnson
Aaron Gordon
Nikola Jokic
All this negativity on the timeline brings me back to one sentiment of hope
If Gordon Murray and Jokic are healthy in the playoffs, we can still get the job done. It’s a huge “if” but we are not as dead in the water as people are assuming
Denver has continued its pursuit of DeMar DeRozan, sources say. It’s believed DeRozan is seriously considering Denver. We first reported Denver’s interest on July 6, and the organization has continued to pursue the forward as it looks to bolster its championship aspirations.
Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks has agreed to a three-year, $73 million contract extension through 2029-30, Mike George of Klutch Sports tells ESPN. Brooks has become a key part of the Suns two-way, hard-nosed culture under Jordan Ott and lands a new guaranteed long-term deal.
Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall has signed a three-year, $52.2 million contract extension, sources tell ESPN. The fully guaranteed deal takes Marshall through the 2029-30 season in Dallas.
While Watson would certainly welcome a larger deal, it's not believed to be a hard-line demand or deal breaker. The Nuggets value Watson slightly north of $20 million annually, though they have yet to present an offer at that level.
The Nuggets are reviving their original ABA uniforms next season for a classic edition.
Denver will rock orange uniforms in honor of original franchise roots as the Denver Rockets, which was their name from 1967-1974.
Nuggets have offered Peyton Watson a contract for $70M over 5 years, per @Tjonesonthenba.
Nuggets are attempting get under the second apron and sign Watson.
