About the teacher showdown management, Gordon must be left or will apply for a deal!
According to the Denver Post, the first active player in the NBA league, Nuggets center Jokic is very dissatisfied with the team's recent operation in the free market, the team has sent away Reggie, and let the outside defensive core Pope be truncated by the Magic, what needs to be known is that these two are important rotation players for the Nuggets, of which Pope is still the team's indispensable outside defensive core! Reggie was also an important rotation force on the team's bench, and he was sent to the Hornets in exchange for just three unprotected second-round picks! Pope averaged 10.1 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game in 76 games for the Nuggets last season while shooting 40.6 percent from three-point range. He declined to exercise his $15.4 million player option for next season and officially became a free agent. Thus it was pocketed by Magic with 6000w in 3 years! His departure did not exchange any players for the team, he just walked away for nothing! These two trades have further weakened the Nuggets' already weak roster depth, and it's no wonder that Mr. Yoo is furious!
Although the team negotiated a contract extension with Murray, there was a big problem with Gordon on the renewal issue, Gordon is currently very disappointed with the team, the Nuggets have been delaying the renewal of Murray's contract with no money before, but on the first day of the full opening of the transaction, they couldn't wait to give Murray a maximum salary extension contract, which made Gordon feel very hurt, the team can give Murray a maximum salary, then it must give himself a maximum salary, he is now the absolute defensive core of the Nuggets, if he leaves, the team's defensive system will collapse instantly, The combination of him and Jokic's offense and defense is the basic plate of the Nuggets, Murray honestly has a lot of people who can be replaced, but there are really no people who can replace Gordon in the league, and he shares 90% of the pressure on Mr. Jokic on the defensive end! It can be said that he is the second leader of the Nuggets in the true sense! Gordon's meaning now is very simple, if you want to cut the salary, then you will reduce it together, and if you give the maximum salary, you will give the maximum salary, just look at the Celtics opposite, why can't they be the Nuggets? You can't make a difference!
Turning over the Nuggets' roster, in addition to signing Holmes II and undrafted center PJ Hall, there is no other reinforcement, but it loses Pope and Reggie, if the team is letting Gordon go, then the team really only has Jokic and Murray left, such a lineup wants to succeed in today's star-studded environment, which is tantamount to a fool's dream! Now the pressure is completely on the side of the Nuggets management, if Gordon is not renewed, then the team will be completely uncompetitive, not only that, but the most terrible thing is that once they do this, the Nuggets will be completely finished! If he is given a contract with an annual salary of 4000w according to Gordon's requirements, then the team's salary space will be locked again, and it will still be difficult to attract strong reinforcements! The Nuggets' current lineup outside defense is a big problem, one wrong step and one wrong step, the Nuggets should not renew Murray's contract with the highest salary, and now it is difficult to ride the tiger! It's up to you to do it next!
According to the latest reports, Major General Wei joined the Nuggets, which can fill the Nuggets' outside defense to a certain extent! I hope Wei Shao can complete the task of extreme firefighting! Coming to the Nuggets will greatly increase the probability of winning the championship!
