    Funny enough, I just watched him beat the Hornets last week. Definitely looked good.

    Agree on him. I don’t think anyone could really outbid us unless they played hardball.

    And not mention Rich implying he needed to come off the bench on his first podcast. Definitely looked like a AR hit job for whatever reason.

    Next summer is quickly becoming Peyton Watson or bust for me. What that guy has been doing on-ball, in addition to being a good defender and 40% three point shooter this year (albeit on only 3 attempts per game) is pretty remarkable. Absolutely perfect guy to plug in with Luka and Austin. It’s getting to the point that I wonder if the Nuggets prioritize keeping him and moving Gordon, who is 30 now and has had some injuries.

    Yeah that guy is on a great trajectory. If we don't trade for him, I don't think we could get him. This is the trade that might justify trading Thiero, but I dont think I would do that.
