On the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, our very own beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reunite to discuss the highly anticipated arrival of Russell Westbrook in Denver through free agency. This exciting news has sparked numerous discussions among fans, and the duo delves into some of the most pressing topics surrounding Westbrook's addition to the team.
One of the main points of discussion is whether Westbrook, who is approaching his 36th birthday, still has what it takes to help the Nuggets make it to the NBA Finals. While his talent and experience are undeniable, his age may be a factor to consider. The two also touch on the ideal supporting players who would complement Westbrook in the second unit.
Another aspect that the duo examines is whether the Nuggets' starting five has taken a step back this season after the departure of KCP. With a new lineup and potential changes in dynamics, it's important to assess whether the team is still as strong as it was last year. On the flip side, they also explore the depth of the Nuggets' roster and whether it has improved compared to previous seasons.
Unfortunately, the Nuggets suffered a setback when rookie DaRon Holmes II suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon in his first Summer League game. Durando and Schubert discuss the impact of this injury on the team's plans and what other insights can be gained from the Nuggets' performances in Las Vegas.
As the Paris Olympics draw near, the conversation shifts to which of the Nuggets' star players, Nikola Jokic or Jamal Murray, is more likely to bring home a medal. Both players have been dominant in their respective positions, but who will have a better chance at Olympic success?
