Welcome back to the latest episode of the Nuggets Ink podcast. This week, our beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert are back together to discuss the highly anticipated arrival of Russell Westbrook to Denver as a free agent. They delve into various topics surrounding this exciting news, including Westbrook's potential impact as a fan favorite in the Mile High city, and whether his age of 36 will hinder his ability to help the Nuggets reach the NBA Finals once again. They also explore the question of who would make the perfect teammate for Westbrook on the second unit.
Another hot topic on the agenda is the current state of the Nuggets' starting five. With the loss of key player KCP, have they taken a step back this season? Or have they become even deeper as a team compared to last year? Our hosts weigh in on this matter and offer their insights.
The Summer League games have been in full swing, but unfortunately, the Nuggets' rookie DaRon Holmes II suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in his very first game. This raises concerns about the impact of his injury on Denver's plans, and our hosts discuss the possible ramifications. They also take a closer look at the Nuggets' overall performance in Las Vegas and what can be gleaned from it.
On a more exciting note, the Paris Olympics are just around the corner, and our hosts can't help but wonder who among the Nuggets' star players, Nikola Jokic or Jamal Murray, is most likely to bring back a medal. This sparks a lively discussion between Durando and Schubert, and you won't want to miss their predictions.
