But after watching some major transactions go down in the offseason and taking a look at the current picture around the league, we can already start making some predictions.

(Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)   The Denver Nuggets lost another key member of their championship core. Losing Kentavious Caldwell-Pope could be a huge blow for Mike Malone’s team, not only because of his defense and shot-making but also because of how he meshed perfectly in that starting lineup. It’s not easy to find a player with a similar profile, and the Nuggets simply decided not to do so. Instead, they addressed their big need for a backup point guard by reportedly going after Russell Westbrook. Notably, NBA analyst Amin Elhassan believes this could be a huge move for the N ..read more

Westbrook has an impact on just about every team he plays for, but does he really fit with Denver’s current lineup? Paul Pierce thinks so and believes that the addition of Westbrook opens up more possibilities for Denver’s Jamal Murray. Speaking on “Undisputed,” per NBACentral, Pierce said that Murray should now become the team’s starting shooting guard while Westbrook should play the role of point guard. Paul Pierce thinks De ..read more

Noting that Westbrook has “done everything else you can do in the game of basketball,” Pierce said it’s now his time to become a champion alongside Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. “Russell Westbrook wants a ring.

(Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)   Russell Westbrook is about to play for his third NBA team in three seasons. The Los Angeles Clippers are trading him to the Utah Jazz for guard Kris Dunn, and the Jazz are expected to waive him and buy out the remainder of his contract. Once that happens, Westbrook is then expected to join the Denver Nuggets. This news caused Skip Bayless to warn Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic about what happened with Westbrook during a failed stint with the Los Angeles Lakers. “Joker, beware: Once, LeBron pushed for the Lakers to go get Russell Westbrook.

(Photo by Harry How/Getty Images)   After flaming out with the Los Angeles Clippers, Russell Westbrook has been dealt to the Utah Jazz in a sign-and-trade deal that brings Kris Dunn to the City of Angels. Sometime soon, Westbrook will be waived by Utah so he can sign with the Denver Nuggets to join forces with Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic. With no other NBA teams showing interest in Westbrook, who has bounced around the league ever since he was traded by the Oklahoma City Thunder, the former MVP is lucky that Jokic has taken a liking to him and lobbied for his team to bring him in. After ..read more

Some people are worried about this, as there should be no reason for any sort of delay in this situation. Murray has been there for his entire career and there have never been reports about a desire to leave, so why not get this out of the way? However, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic, there’s nothing odd going on here. Talking on SiriusXM NBA Radio, the renowned insider claimed that he actually spoke to Jamal Murray. "I spoke to Ja ..read more

(Photo by Harry How/Getty Images)   The Denver Nuggets were the odds-on favorites to represent the Western Conference in the NBA Finals again last season. Then, in a somewhat shocking turn of events, they were sent back home after an exciting second-round clash with the Minnesota Timberwolves. It was pretty clear that they missed Bruce Brown, and now that they won’t have Kentavious Caldwell-Pope either, things could get a little trickier for them in the foreseeable future. That’s why, according to a report by Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, they considered trading Michael Porter Jr. to get ..read more
