The Nuggets’ starters aren’t going anywhere.
Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope are all under contract for at least one more season.
It’s Denver’s bench that could see some turnover following its historic championship run. Beginning with Bruce Brown, who already (and expectedly) declined his player option, the Nuggets have numerous unrestricted free agents heading into the summer. Brown, Jeff Green, DeAndre Jordan, Ish Smith, Reggie Jackson and Thomas Bryant are all on the verge of free agency, which begins at 4 p.m. MT Friday.
If Nuggets GM Calvin Booth gets his way, this season’s roster will look a lot like last year’s.
