The Denver Nuggets need Giannis Antetokounmpo to stay in the East, and that could happen if he meant what he recently said.

Christian Braun's extension kicks in next year. Moving that could be an even bigger issue thanks to Nikola Jokic.

Rumors indicate Denver is ready to salary-dump key rotation players just to fix a massive past mistake. Why Stan Kroenke needs to stop wasting Jokic's prime.

Bill Simmons flew into a rage, ranting about Stan Kroenke and how he appears to be handling the Peyton Watson free agency situation.

The Nuggets should bring back Watson at just about any cost. That may not be exactly his best fit.

The Nuggets need to explore one smart option they already have to fill out the rest of the roster.

There has been a lot of buzz around a proposed Nuggets trade for Ausar Thompson, but the move would simply replace one problem with an even bigger one.

The Nuggets backcourt would take a whole new dynamic with Derrick White instead of Jamal Murray.

It's not going to be an easy pill to swallow, but to keep Peyton Watson, the Nuggets must take a gross, but familiar approach to moving Christian Braun.

We get caught up in the idea that things will last forever in the NBA, but the reality is that the entire landscape changes more quickly than we realize.
