I keep forgetting next week is the lottery. While I’m very much aware that the Bulls have an 87% chance not to land Zion, I can’t help but feel like I will still be disappointed when they don’t.

Kyrie shoots 7-22, 1-7 from three, the Celtics lose by 12, and his post game quote is that he should have shot more.
Someone has been hanging out with late-career Kobe

Then we landed the first pick and had to hear people like RIDGE tell us Beasley was the right pick.

260 I'm taking the Joker over Embiid. Watching him this postseason he's faking DOPE! Healthy, committed and more skilled.

I think we're gonna see GS COMPLETELY demolished this off season. Draymond will get traded, Durant will leave and they'll decline paying Klay the max and he'll leave...
This summer is gonna be awesome because most of the top free agents are moving in my estimation.

They can max him and still afford Boogie at a discount for a year with a team option in the second year

But if KD leaves, Boogie gives them a dimension they don't have. I think if he runs into the same disinterest as last summer, he re-signs.

They're about to lose to houston. Once KD walks, you're looking at a gap you cant fill. They don't have money to outright sign a high priced replacement. There's no question they'll deem Klay as "can't pay him and steph $40 million". They're not going to do it and he's going to walk. The run with draymond appears to have come to a head and he will be up for a mega extension the following summer they're not giving him max money either. Boogie, umm, i'm sure they'd offer another 1 year vet minimum but that's it. He's not moving the needle. That leaves steph, draymond and a soon to retire Iggy. I think it's over....

So there's a major change happening right now in Denver Sports radio. The #1 sports station is 104.3 The Fan. They've been around forever and have been the voice of Denver sports for a long time, seeing many great local sports commentators come and go. Lately, they've gone on a tear of talking Broncos 975 of the time, regardless of what's happening in other sports. This includes the Avs playoffs last year, the Rockies big push to take the division last season (coming down to the final game of the season), and the Nuggets nearly making the playoffs last year (again, final game of the season) while the Broncos are terrible. They have like 4-5 former Broncos (including Mike Schlereth) doing shows and their stories are often interesting and amusing, even if you only ever hear about Denver's NFL team. I think a lot of true sports fans were getting tired of their act, but were willing to go with it because they had a fantastic monster of a daily drive-time show with Big Al (Alfred Williams, former Broncos LB who won SBs with Elway) and D-Mac (The local Colin Cowherd, who relishes in getting under everyone's skin). This show ran for like a decade and DOMINATED drive-time radio. I always liked the show for the interesting dynamics that it brought and they seemingly really enjoyed what they did. Altitude Sports (owned by Stan Kroenke, who also owns the Nuggs/Avs/Rapids/LA Rams) started up it's own radio station with the intention of spending most of its time covering the Nuggs and Avs, but also all other Denver sports. They rounded up some of the local favorites who have since been dismissed by the fan and have exclusive rights to radio broadcasts of the Avs/Nuggs games. I never really gave them a chance because I don't listen to sports radio that often, and the Fan was good enough. I listened a little bit to their morning show because Schlereth's show was him talking and his co-host washing his balls for several hours. It get old fast. FYI: Altitude's morning show includes Vic Lombardi - whom Charles Barkley loves, but often refers to as "Lombardo" when he gives him shoutouts on TNT. This is how it was in Denver sports until the unexpected happened 2 months ago. Alfred Williams walked. Basically, his contract was up and after his show owned Denver radio for a decade, they came at him with a weak offer and he bounced. He took a job with a local news outlet. Suddenly, DMac and the Fan were exposed. The magic of Alfred was gone. Me, and other sports fans tuned the afternoon dials to Altitude Sports, just in time for a Nuggs/Avs playoff push. Altitude were no dummies, so they started pushing Pepsi Center ticket giveaways around this time and the fanbase was built. Now, I exclusively listen to AS and the Fan is slowly dying. It't funny, because sometimes, I will jump over to the Fan to hear how they're coping and they STRUGGLE to have any meaningful Nuggets/Avs talk because nobody their actually follows anything but the NFL, so they sound like idiots. I know you guys don't care, but I thought the power-shift is interesting.

I said all that in order to mention this:
One of the non-NBA guys from the Fan was talking this morning about Millsap's contract. The consensus among people who ACTUALLY watch Nuggets games is that they should decline his $30M option next season and re-sign him long-term at a more palatable rate. He loves this team, and would likely be okay with that. I honestly think this is the route to go.
The idiot on the Fan this morning was saying that the Nuggets should decline the option and sign one of the "young max-players" available in FA this summer. Of course, no names were mentioned because he wouldn't have any idea who they are, but it sounds like a nice thing to talk about.
My immediate thought is that you can't just plug guys in and expect to win [See:Lakers]. Denver runs a very specific offense that requires a certain type of player; which is why the IT2 experiment ended so quickly.
So who could the Nuggets possibly target who would fit their system? They need a guy who plays decent defense, has a strong offensive game, but can be effective without dominating the ball (offensive possessions need to start with Murray and Jokic).
My first thought is Jimmy Butler. While his game fits perfectly, I worry about his attitude and need to be an alpha everywhere he goes. This is a very humble Nuggets team and strong opinions that undermine Mike Malone can go pound sand.
What FAs do you guys think could work for the Nuggets?

He wants to stay and having a guy who actually wants to be there is better than overpaying a guy who just wants the money. I honestly can't think of another guy who isn't going to come in and demand the ball to justify his contract. You're not getting Lou Will. Try Melo lol

This is true across all communication channels, especially radio. Which is why imma finna takeover Atlanta Radio soon...
