Nuggets' weakness could quickly turn into Achilles heel

The Denver Nuggets have had a fantastic offseason, especially after Jonas Valanciunas confirmed he'd suit up for the team next season. There is still a void that Ben Tenzer and Jon Wallace need to fill, and there are still a few options left out there.

Russell Westbrook declined his player option for the 2025-26 season, making him an unrestricted free agent (he's still on the market and could be a target for the Suns). He was Denver's primary backup point guard this past season, meaning now, the Nuggets are without a true backup for Jamal Murray.
