## Resource

The Denver Nuggets stand at a pivotal moment after a disappointing playoff exit, with Nikola Jokic’s prime waning and tough decisions looming. They could trade, fire, or simply “run it back” with their current roster — a path that includes keeping their starting five, Jonas Valanciunas, Zeke Nnaji, and potentially re-signing restricted free agents Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones. While Jalen Pickett and Bruce Brown are likely to stay, Watson’s potential payday could push them over the luxury tax line. The team may swap out Tim Hardaway Jr. for a cheaper option like Julian Strawther, betting on health and development to return them to title contention — all while navigating the delicate balance of roster stability and future growth.
