Welcome back to the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast! I'm your host, beat writer Bennett Durando, joined by our sports editor Matt Schubert. As the regular season tips off, we're here to dive into all things Nuggets and give you the inside scoop on the team.
First up, let's talk about the big news of the week - Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon's contract extension. He's secured a four-year deal worth $133 million, potentially keeping him in Denver until the 2028-29 season. But the real question is, is this a good value for the team? And how does this impact their long-term plans? We'll break it all down for you.
But before we get too deep into the Nuggets, I have to share some exciting stories from my recent trip to the United Arab Emirates. I had the amazing opportunity to cover a couple of Nuggets preseason games and even got to see Nikola Jokic's former team, Mega, play in Dubai. It was an incredible experience, and I can't wait to tell you all about it.
Now, let's talk about Jamal Murray. He had a bit of a rough preseason, dealing with a "funny" knee and some off shooting nights. So, is this cause for concern, or just part of the normal routine as he gets ready for the season? We'll give you our take on Murray's performance and what we can expect from him this year.
And as always, we like to have a little fun on the podcast. Matt and I will make some Nuggets over/under predictions, while he crunches the numbers to cook up some stats for us. It's always a good time when we get to mix a little friendly competition with our Nuggets analysis.
Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast on SoundCloud, iTunes, Spotify, YouTube Music, or RSS to stay up to date with all our latest episodes. And a big shout-out to our producer AAron Ontiveroz and our amazing intro music, "The Last Dragons" by Schama Noel.
And before we wrap up, I have to give a quick plug for our Nuggets Insider newsletter. If you want even more in-depth coverage of the team, make sure to sign up for our newsletter to get all the latest news and analysis delivered straight to your inbox.
