Bill Simmons and the Ringer are shifting gears and starting to ramp up for the upcoming NBA season, and in his most recent pod with Zach Lowe, Simmons called the Nuggets the best bet to win the title. He waxed poetic about their offseason, praising the added depth and emphasizing how vital that is and was just proven to be with the Thunder/Pacers Finals matchup.
This was exactly the point of the offseason and exactly what the Nuggets needed. Fans have watched the team run out of gas in back-to-back playoffs because Nikola Jokic and the rest of the starters were ground into dust.
