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

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

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
