Welcome back to the latest episode of the Nuggets Ink podcast! In this edition, our beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert are back together to discuss the exciting news of Russell Westbrook potentially joining the Denver team in free agency. There's a lot to unpack here, so let's dive right in.
First off, let's talk about the impact Westbrook could have on the Mile High city. There's no doubt that he would become an instant favorite among the fans, but the question remains: can he still bring enough to the table at 36 years old to help the Nuggets make it back to the NBA Finals? And if so, who would be the ideal teammate to play alongside him in the second unit?
Another topic on the table is the changes in the Nuggets' starting five this season, particularly with the loss of KCP. Has this affected their overall performance? And with the team's depth now, are they stronger than they were a year ago?
Unfortunately, we also have to address the news of rookie DaRon Holmes II's Achilles tendon injury during his first Summer League game. This is a major blow for the team, but how much will it affect their plans going forward? And what other insights can we gather from the Nuggets' recent performances in Las Vegas?
On a more positive note, the Paris Olympics are just around the corner and all eyes are on our star players, Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Which one of them do you think has a better chance of bringing home a medal?
