Love your podcasts Ryan . You are my goto for NUGGETS
Like the first trade. No more player options at the end of there contracts. By then half are beat up and not worth it. That needs to be a Team Option. Just dumb. Need to take the league back from the players and do what good for the Team/Fans. Stop with the long 4/5 year contracts. Just can kill a team for years and half of those don't work out because of injuries. 2/3 years is a "Nice Bag" and good for the team.
Big fan of your coverage Ryan. Your salary cap analysis is always so detailed. Appreciate the fine work man!
Ryan. Guys. When you’re trying to trade someone/something, you need to ask yourself this question: “wtf would that other team make this trade”. Right now, what you’re offering, would help DENVER a lot, buuuut, wtf would bulls (for example) do this crap?
Guys. The truth is this: to get something, you’ll have to give up something. You want to get rid of salary, you’ll have to give up salary. What I mean is, you’ll have to give up someone who makes a lot of money, but has a trade value.
Now, this will be unpopular, but, hear me out. Trade… Aron Gordon. And I know people are going to yell at me for this, but he’s making 32 mil next year, at 31 years old. Honestly, zeke does almost the same thing for less than 1/4 of his salary.
Also, cam will have to be moved. Not because he’s a bad player, but because Denver is loaded on the back court. Payton, Braun, Jamal, and can still get Tim jr back for another season.
