The Denver Nuggets had their playoff run cut short in the first round by the Minnesota Timberwolves, and there will be many questions surrounding the franchise this offseason. After making several moves last offseason, it seemed as if the Nuggets were in a prime position to make another championship run.
Unfortunately, injuries hurt them during the season, including Peyton Watson, who missed the end of the season, and Aaron Gordon, who was sidelined for a few games in the first round. Defensively, they weren’t able to stop the Timberwolves, and they couldn’t seem to get much going on offense. Now, they’ll have to go back to the drawing board to try to get back to their dominant ways.
There are already signs that they’re going to be making some big moves, and Josh Kroenke was honest about the offseason plans.
“I think that everything is gonna be on the table outside of trading Nikola [Jokic]. I think we need to have running it back as a possibility,” Kroenke said.
As of now, it seems as if David Adelman is safe from being on the hot seat, especially with this being his first full season as the head coach. He and Jokic also have a strong relationship, which should save him from any drastic changes.
Jamal Murray is also another person who should be safe, as he had his first All-Star season, and the Nuggets are paying over $160 million through the 2028-29 season. According to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints, there are to possibly be moved this offseason.
The Nuggets are open to trading all players except Nikola Jokic as they look to make significant changes.
The Nuggets were eliminated in the first round by the Minnesota Timberwolves, hindered by injuries and poor defensive performance.
The Nuggets plan to evaluate their roster and are expected to make big moves to improve their chances for next season.

“That is why, when it comes to the Nuggets’ limited assets and potential moves to be made on the trade market, it is almost certain that changes will be made to the team’s formidable trio of secondary contributors: Aaron Gordon, Cam Johnson, and Christian Braun,” Siegel wrote.
