Yeah man we talked ball for like an hour. He was basically like I wanna go anywhere but the pistons or wizards lol. But even back then he was hoping for the nuggets or bucks. Said it was a hard decision to declare, he coulda come out last season but was making crazy NIL money in college.

couple of not unexpected but less than ideal shams bombs
Denver and star Jamal Murray are working toward a four-year, $209 million maximum contract extension this offseason, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Nuggets will present the deal to Murray – a 2023 NBA champion and one of the best clutch players – and sides expect agreement. pic.twitter.com/tOZ7UBWuli— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) June 27, 2024
Denver’s Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is declining his $15.4 million player option for the 2024-25 season to become a free agent, sources tell me and @Tjonesonthenba. Caldwell-Pope – a two-time NBA champion – is expected to receive interest from multiple teams with salary cap space. pic.twitter.com/R1P8fhqBfn— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) June 27, 2024

still seems like KCP re-signing at a higher but not totally unreasonable AAV is a strong possibility. hopefully the bruce brown situation was instructive

feeling pretty bummed about this off-season and the team’s trajectory. it seems likely now that KCP will walk and the nuggets will get nothing in return. the team is in a tough spot because under most scenarios, re-signing KCP (which they can do at any number since they have his bird rights) puts them into the second apron and severely limits their future flexibility. but losing KCP risks capping their ceiling and squandering some serious championship equity.
I’ve thought for a while that while he’s been great for the team, KCP is probably the most expendable starter. he’s an excellent defender and shooter, though both of those skills are highly dependent on his mobility and he’s about to hit his mid-thirties, and maybe losing him a year early is preferable to two years too late… but if the alternative is getting nothing of real value in return, that’s a bummer
― brony james (k3vin k.), Sunday, 30 June 2024 16:33 (yesterday) link
yeah letting him walk sucks is prob the right move but they really need to hit on some guys

we’ll see if there’s another move there, but that has not really been the MO of this team. I’m pretty despondent and mad at ownership. worried they’re just going to take jokic’s prime for granted

idk what pretty similar means here
Denver offered KCP a salary pretty similar to what he ended up getting from Orlando and I’m told the Nuggets offered three years. The Nuggets definitely tried here— Tony Jones (@Tjonesonthenba) June 30, 2024

they also offered a contract in us dollars

I honestly am not sure how plugged in tony jones is — he’s kind of the stopgap beat reporter for the athletic but he’s primarily a jazz guy. I’d be shocked if the nuggets matched and KCP chose orlando, but I guess anything is possible

I’m so sad about the KCP thing man. guy decided he had no interest in contending for a championship and preferred a few extra bucks. really goes against everything I thought I knew about him. good riddance
