The Nuggets have one of the league's most fun stars, an up-and-coming roster, and now a marquee free agent that chose them. It's a fun time to jump aboard the bandwagon. (You listening, Denver? Get involved!).
We're joined by Adam Mares of Denver Stiffs and the Locked on Nuggets podcast to preview one of the NBA's League Pass darlings. Among the topics discussed:Why doesn't Denver get excited about the Nuggets?Adam gets to gloat about Nikola Jokic because he was an early adopter.The Kevin Love trade that never happened, plus the addition of Paul Millsap.Rotation questions! Who starts at point guard? Do they have enough wing players? What's the deal with Mason Plumlee? Is this the year Kenneth Faried finally gets traded?Offensively, the Nuggets were awesome. Defensively ... not su much. Will that change this year.We spend more time gushing about Jokic because you can never do that too much.What's the best Nuggets team ever? Why Adam believes a different result in the 2009 West Finals does nothing to change Carmelo Anthony's final days in Denver.What does the franchise need to do to get fans more excited about this team? We go down a long road talking about the past, the present, and the future, with a look at Denver the city sprinkled in.Adam gets caught off guard by our customary banana boat question, which leads us down a long tangent.Predictions, best/worst case scenarios, and much more.This is the 13th of Limited Upside's 30 team previews leading up to next season. We're bringing together representatives from all 30 SB Nation team sites and other team-specific experts from the SB Nation/Limited Upside community to gauge the temperature of the fanbase heading into the season.
