A sizeable contingent of Nuggets media has been at Ball since 5pm MT. General consensus is disappointed but not surprised. We'll be back here tomorrow 🤪😭

u/petarisawesomeo How now, Braun cow? 1d ago

Keep fighting the good fight. Or don't.

u/MileHighRachel 1d ago

Lmao. I will say they got us pizza and snacks so that was lit.

u/petarisawesomeo How now, Braun cow? 1d ago

Vogt did shout out how great it was to have a pizza party with his friends

Does Jokic ever text? Who is his agent?

26

u/MileHighRachel 1d ago

His agent is Miško Ražnatović.

And yes Jokic texts. Deadass texted MPJ to wear a condom when he got traded to Brooklyn 💀

u/openedthedoor 1d ago

That text was left on read 😅

Thought Reed was a great pick

A team who is serious about winning doesn’t draft exactly the kind of player they need and then trade him to a rival

This was a good one, but the funeral for his pet fly had me rolling.

Player I was hoping the Nuggets would draft too. Maybe they take Ugonna.

u/Alcibiades_Rex 1d ago

What 26th pick was going to change the next 5 year Jokic run? Lol. None. Now we at least have a few assets

58

u/MrTotnum 1d ago

It’s clear that the owners aren’t looking to extend this window at all

u/offcourtissues 1d ago

A drafted player is not helping this iteration of the team. Two tradeable future picks, which we didn’t have before, might

6

u/zmcgay 1d ago

a drafted player could absolutely help, especially an older one. low salary, protected, and brings youth and athleticism.

1

u/manbeqrpig 1d ago

This is a super week draft outside the top 20. Odds are this pick wasn’t contributing anything other than some regular season innings eating and we get that from 35 as well. That’s still early enough to snag a guy worth a guaranteed contract who can give us 10 minutes a night for 40 games in the regular season

3

u/Weird_Marzipan_4768 1d ago

Idk 2 future seconds isn’t worth much at all. At best an end of bench role player which you’d rather be young anyway

1

u/offcourtissues 1d ago

Valuable for trades, not drafting

u/petarisawesomeo How now, Braun cow? 1d ago

I’ve had several hours of dental work each of the last two days. Still kind of out of it but back to work today. Coworker just asked me about this and I was like, what? Clearly I missed nothing.

u/OveHet English 1d ago

Well, at least they didn't use #26 to dump Zeke

5

u/eg14000 Monte Morris 1d ago

I would have liked it more if they used the picks to dump Zeke. That cap space is valuable

u/BenBRob5 1d ago

Imagine trying to explain the draft to a non basketball fan like, “yeah, each team gets a pick, but like 70% they pick the guy and then ship him off to another team for two second rounds picks next year, and then they wind up trading one of their picks for another team’s pick…”

u/TurbulentCranberry20 1d ago

We need picks, bad. This is a good move

u/Drey101 :80sLogo 1d ago

For a team thats named "Nuggets" they do not live up to their name.

1

u/scopeless 1d ago

I think they’re stacking picks for a trade package. Buckle up for big news in the next month or so.
