Since the beginning of the season the Nuggets have looked very prominent and have managed to become the strongest team in the west with the wins they always get.
Already Nuggets should have won this season and anyone who has been following NBA developments would have guessed midway through the season that the Nuggets have the biggest chance of winning.
Murray or Jokic has been one of the core players for the Nuggets and indeed on the second night of back-to-back sets they were rested by the Nuggets due to an injury.

Or maybe he doesn't fit with the Heat because they play small ball, and slower players are not given many minutes within their system. The Jazz might have recognized some good value in this player, as they are looking to add size to their team. Additionally, the contract isn't too large, so there should be enough room under the salary cap to acquire more skilled players in various positions.

I am sure that they know their roles and that's why whether he's got a lesser playing time, he knows it that it's for the team.

They need to strengthen their roster and just like how serious the other teams are. It's not just about focusing with Wemby but also to have some other supporting and key players.

It's just that there's a bunch of good and athletic players and with the asset that he's got for his height, others have that and have a better shooting.

So, from his team now, that's all he need to do and improve to become a key role player.

There's no question about the Nuggets, as they have already proven themselves to be a great team by winning the championship. Honestly, I believe that their chemistry is strong enough for them to win back-to-back championships. The only reason they would lose that chance is if Murray or Jokic were to be injured, as they are the most consistent players on the team.

These centers nowadays are having a hard time showcasing their skills due to some limited minutes to play and when they are not effective enough on the court, they will gonna be sitting on the bench for the rest of the games, and in the end, their stats will not improve and will end up getting their rank to decrease as well because there are no more numbers to add. He needs to go to the team that doesn't have enough Center or they will just be lucky when the star center of that team gets injured and that's when they have the chance to change the people's view on them.

Everyone has their own interpretations of whatever the current updates around NBA, but, yes, Nuggets are still the same in terms
of the core players, they still have that winning rotations.

It's going to be a nice challenge to them in repeating the back-to-back title or even doing a grand slam, though too far from
that as we all know, every teams are really trying to make good improvements.

We just need to wait. Once the season begins, we will see those teams to play and who are the ones who improve the most.

We'll see both of them grow in the NBA.

Wemby has got the attention that it seems treated like a superstar while he hasn't played yet. There's a big difference between him and Bol Bol. While it's like an assurance that Wemby is going to get a lot of playing time.

But with Bol Bol, we don't know if he's going to get a lot of playing time since he's with key players to his new team. Hopefully the rotation there is going to benefit him.

He already done better and he can't take all since he have teammates. Maybe you are talking when Shaq is not on his prime since its understandable since performance decline when a player aged. See some highlights when he's strong and you will see that he give a huge problem inside the paint to their opponents in both ends.

Bolbol is built different since new gen big mans are so soft maybe they are not well oiled up with physicality that's why they easily get those injuries.

With tall players, there is another problem. Sometimes they are not workaholics. Just imagine someone like Shaq O’Neal having the work ethic like Kobe Bryant. Shaq O’Neal would have been the best in the world without a doubt. I don’t think anyone can question the greatness of him. But still, he could have done better with a better work ethic.

I don’t like players who are very tall, but skinny build. I personally believe that they have a bigger chance of getting injured. If tall players are medium build and powerful, I don’t have any problems. But some players like Bol Bol can actually get injured easily in my opinion. And it will be more problematic towards the later stages of his career.

Yeah, it's not enough, but I bet Cam Payne is also happy that he will now be playing with the most hyped player in the league. If he can do better than his performance in the Phoenix Suns then who knows if Coach Pops will make him the starter. Also, I think this will do him well being with a good coach like Pops.

True. They are still hungry. Jamal Murray won't stop with just one. Mike Malone too. That's their first on the franchise, it would be joyful if they can do it twice, and with the Joker being there, it's always possible. They must take advantage of his skills while he is still young.
It's sad that they have to let Bruce Brown go but I think they can still find another player that would be as aggressive as him on the defensive end. They do have Christian Braun who just needs some polishing. A big man with the energy and speed of a guard, I bet they are now training him to become a starter someday, or a sixth man maybe.

No one would forget what the Nuggets did last season; it's just that they aren't a superteam, so the hype isn't really that big. Actually, there are still plenty of fans who believe the Nuggets won't repeat. This poses a challenge for them, and considering how humble this team is, they surely won't be complacent. Instead, they will work to improve their weaknesses.

While too many talks about the rumors and biggest contracts, people are forgetting that the Nuggets are still Nuggets and they can still be this upcoming season's top team. But yes, that's likely to change when we see what happens to them in the mid-season. Because from there, it's going to be visible whether they're still dominating and they're likely to get into the playoffs. Although some of them have already been traded and gone out of the team but the entire major players are still intact.

Yes, that's true, Bol Bol has had few minutes on the court in recent seasons, he is a player who has potential for growth and I also say that he is one of the players of the future in the NBA, I believe that the bodyshape of NBA players is changing... (Holmgreen, Bol Bol, Wemby and others) they are tall, fast, can shoo tand have handles).

I'm looking forward to watch and analyze how Bol Bol will perform in this season.

Bol Bol is nowhere near the level Wemby plays even after a few seasons in the league, the reason for that could be he didn't get enough minutes to develop obviously and that's a sad situation for him, if you didn't give any minutes then even Jokic or Giannis wouldn't be who they are, they got time to develop and that made them who they are. But also, Wemby came into the league with some euroleague history already, he has shown what he can do and that matters, which is why I believe that he will get more minutes.

I do not believe that he is a generational talent that will be MVP one day, but I do believe that he will become an All-star level player who will do wonderful in the future and maybe even some rings if Spurs put a good team around him in the future.

In the recent draft, they got 2 players. One is 6 foot 5 inches, and the other one is 6 foot 9 inches.
TBH, with how the Warriors are good with developing their young players, I think they will focus more on developing Trayce Jackson-Davis, the one that they got in the recent draft. He has the same height as Looney, and although he isn't as efficient as he is on offense base on scouting reports, he is very efficient at the rim, and I guess with how loaded the Warriors are in terms of offense, he can just focus on defense

Though I want McGee to reunite with his former team, I think that the Warriors are on the road to develop younger players that will soon carry the team if the time has come for Steph, Klay, and Draymond to play lesser minutes or retire, and they're one of the best teams right now in terms of developing younger players. They developed Poole a few years ago, and even though he played poorly last playoffs, we know that he is capable of scoring at least 15-20 PPG. Overall, I think Looney, and this rookie Jackson-Davis is enough for the Warriors already. Wait they also have Saric who is a big as well, so the Warriors now are loaded with taller players now.

It's because of injuries that's why he didn't play that much when he's on the Heat.
Not a familiar name for me, but I just hope that his injuries will not be a hinder on his NBA career.

Free agent center Omer Yurtseven has signed a $5.4 million contract with the Utah Jazz.
Omer Yurtseven previously played for the Miami Heat. He didn't get many chances to play for the Miami Heat. I hope he plays more for the Utah Jazz and proves himself.

Yes, same as how Cam Johnson and Mikael Bridges are with the Nets right now. They have blossom more of a player as compare when they are still in the Phoenix Suns uniform.

And besides that, I think ti's more of a business move as well, as the Suns might have save some money and then have a future for that trade. So it's good to see how Cam Payne will make some noise in his new uniform next year.

Aside from that, I think the move was also an advantage for Cam Payne as he will be utilized more in another team.

With the current stacked roster of the Phoenix Suns right now especially at the guard position, Cam Payne will not grow anymore on this team. It's a good move that instead of keeping him on the bench for long, used his value to get a good deal.

Both Phoenix Suns and Cam Payne do have a win and advantage on that deal. I'm expecting Payne will make a noise next season.

Not much has change on the Nuggets team, so yeah, even if there are a lot of offensive weapons in the Phoenix arsenal with the addition of Beal. And now that they have traded the last of their point guard in Payne, so there will be a lot of adjustments on the Suns side right now. It could be that Beal will be their point guard or at least will have to carry the ball.

But they need to beef up their defense too. Ayton is good in the middle, but sometimes, it's his mentality that is really a issue with him. Of course having a taller guy in Bol Bol might help them. We will see though, Booker, Beal, Durant, that's Nets 2.0.

There have been some discussions that Steph is doing better than the other professionals. But that's off the beat since we're all entitled to our opinion and those were just like opinions of the fan of his.

Well, who knows that after his career in the NBA and he decides to retire. He'll for sure make rounds in the golf course and will continue to make his fans excited and fun in watching him hitting those golf balls.
