Just ahead of training camp, everything was going swimmingly for the Denver Nuggets. The team had finalized its roster with the addition of Petr Cornelie and some positive vibes were coming from early team workouts.

We’ve all read the articles, heard the cases for why Simmons would be an ideal fit on about half the league by now, but with the public trade request, his value is slowly dropping around the league.
