Damnnnnnn ol' JEFFE does understand the cap and how to make strategic decisions makes you really think wow! Presti is such a shrewd GM. Constricted arguably the most talented young core ever and doing a damn good job at his second act. I know it pained him to max out Westbrook but he had to patronize their fanbase at the time. If they stay healthy then mfers might push 65-67 wins. The additions of Caruso and Hartenstein (did everyone know he’s Black?) are gonna make them so f&@kin hard to score upon, already adding to studs in Dort and Chet. I watched them a whole helluva lot last season, even more upcoming. Edited Monday at 04:53 PM by benhillboy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg01 Posted Monday at 04:59 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 04:59 PM 3 minutes ago, Alex said: Yep I totally agree. They definitely got worse from last season after winning the title the year prior. They’ve got zero depth as it was and now can’t afford to keep one on their starters around. At this point it’s a challenge to field an NBA roster for Denver. Their starting 5 was hands down the best in the league. Inserting whoever into KCP’s spot is a downgrade, but it’s still probably a top 8ish starting unit now. Unless they find gold with an unknown bench piece or two they are in trouble. The crime there is they have arguably the best player in the league on the roster. If you don't 'go for it' in that circumstance, when do you ever? I suspect, because Jokic is a big and not as marketable as others of his talent level, they may have not seen the post-title financial gains that GS did (for example). And they've decided winning big isn't worth it. That's criminal, from a sports perspective, but I get it from a management perspective. 3 minutes ago, benhillboy said: Presti is such a shrewd GM.

Agree overall that they're a really good collection of talent that's been put together intelligently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure it was an ownership override. He didn’t want to get fired like Schlenk for trying to offload an extremely marketable player, especially in their diminutive market.
