4 operations return to the championship ranks! Nuggets General Manager is a few streets away from Pelinka, with the second odds to win the championship

With the opening of the free market, the trading windows of each team continued to open, and many teams have obtained some very high-quality players. Today, the Bucks also cut Lillard, and thus signing Turner also shocked the league. With the Nuggets having the active first player Jokic, the lineup is insufficient this season and it also fell in the second round.

However, under the personal operation of the boss Kroenke, he retained core players such as Jokic and Murray, he completed 4 operations, which directly upgraded the Nuggets' lineup, and the depth of the lineup was supplemented. He instantly returned to the championship ranks, which also made Lakers fans envious. This trading level is nowhere to be surpassed by Pelinka!

First, after the free market was opened, the Nuggets traded with the Nets with an unprotected first-round pick and Porter Jr., which won the scorer Cameron Johnson, not only helped the Nuggets clear their salary space, but also Johnson's shooting is more stable than Porter Jr. The former has an annual salary of only $20.54 million in the new season, which is very cost-effective for the Nuggets.

Subsequently, the Nuggets welcomed the 23-year champion Bruce Brown with a one-year minimum salary in the market. For Jokic and Murray, the most familiar helper has returned, which has made up for the Nuggets' offensive and defensive athletic ability on the wings. Today, the Nuggets used Prime Minister Salic, who had no contribution in the playoffs, to complete the deal with the Kings and get the Great Valan, which was a robbery and found a qualified substitute for the teacher.

Then he recruited Hardaway, who played 77 games last season, who started the Pistons last season, and last season was an important firepower point for the Pistons, helping the team return to the playoffs.

The new general manager Ben Tengzell performed well, but under the personal supervision of his boss Kroenke, these seemingly inconspicuous transactions helped the Nuggets solve the problem of insufficient lineup depth and allowed the team to upgrade as a whole.

The Nuggets currently have 14 players on the roster. Just looking at the paper strength of this lineup, they definitely have the ability to compete for the championship. This season, I asked the teacher to enter the second round with the Nuggets with insufficient lineup, and played 7 games with the championship Thunder. Currently, the total salary of this lineup has reached 193 million yuan, and there is still a certain salary space to go to the No. 1 luxury tax, and you can even select suitable players in the free market.

With the completion of these operations, the Nuggets' odds for winning the championship have also soared. They are currently second in the league, second only to the defending champion Thunder, and tied with the Cavaliers. However, the Cavaliers' strength is far less powerful than the Nuggets' seemingly, and this lineup has also been recognized by the media.

Compared with Pelinka's conservative rules, the "bold operation" of the Nuggets general manager and boss has indeed achieved certain results. If the players can stay healthy, there is no problem to advance to the playoffs, and it will also cause considerable trouble to any team in the Western Conference. You are not afraid of encountering the Thunder. If the two sides can meet again in the playoffs in the new season, the Nuggets will have to complete revenge. The overall strength of this lineup cannot be underestimated.

What do you think of the Nuggets’ trading operations in the free market these two days? Let’s discuss it together!
