Denver Nuggets

Biggest Priority: Finding out who the real core of the team is

The Denver Nuggets are one of the handful of teams that are about to hit some salary cap issues. They have drafted so well over the last few seasons that they simply can’t pay everyone, and they need to figure out who is worth the big money and who isn’t.

Wilson Chandler and Will Barton are both free agents this summer, and Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap become free agents after this upcoming season.

Additionally, they likely will have to extend Jamal Murray’s contract pretty soon. Denver needs to figure out who they plan on paying and who they aren’t.
