2024 Offseason Primer

[Laimbeer40]

DENVER NUGGETS

The Story: A franchise that has won more than it lost is coming off a controversial League Office Rebuild but is in prime position to attract a new owner next season.

The Picks: 1.3, 1.30, 2.3

Projected Roster

PG Darius Garland $18m (Top 35 dynasty guy has PG set for years)
SG Jalen Green $9.1m (Scoring threat who seems so close to taking the leap. Maybe better in fantasy than IRL)
SF Cam Whitmore $3.2m (Dude is a bucket)
PF Simone Fontecchio $2.5m (Underrated bargain if he stays with DET)
C Wendell Carter Jr $3.4m (Durability and playing time are the risks but we have seen his potential)
BE SF Kyle Anderson $8m (Basically got him for free. More expensive than necessary but is a good bench guy)
BE PG Cam Payne $2.5m (Last couple of weeks have shown he can put up decent stats with minutes)
BE PF/C Trayce Jackson-Davis $0.8m (Very productive bench player for Warriors. Gave a facial to Wemby recently)
BE PF Noah Clowney $1.7m (Played in G-League most of the season but hopes to be in the mix next yr)
BE Pick 1.3 (Potential starter for $6m-ish)
BE Pick 1.30 (Bench contributor for $1.6m)
BE Pick 2.3 ($0.8m, could sit in GL)

Cap: After signing rookies they will have about $17m to play with.

Outlook: This team can absolutely make the playoffs in the West once adding the rookies and free agents. Obviously those will have to be the right rookies and FA's but the framework is there and the arrow is pointing up on almost all of these guys.
