The real fun starts now. The lads had been counting down to Free Agency like it was Christmas morning. After a season full of hits and heartbreak, Denver face-planted—hard. And let’s be real, a basic roster reshuffle won’t cut it. They need bold moves. Fresh faces. Something wild enough to shake the whole locker room awake. Nuggets fans made their frustrations loud and clear. And guess what? The front office actually listened. With David Adelman now backed fully, the mission is simple: go get that second ring—and fast.
Let’s be honest—Nikola Jokic’s MVP run was the only real thrill of their whole season. Maybe the Michael Malone departure too, but that’s something they wanna sweep under the rug ASAP. Malone’s exit only marked the start of the problems that still persisted for the Mile Highers. But that’s all they wanted – a start. Now, the Nuggets fans can look ahead to what the future holds. And what does it hold? The addition of JJ Barea, a former NBA champion in 2011 with the Mavs.
“JJ Barea, a 2011 NBA champion with the Dallas Mavericks, has agreed to join the Denver Nuggets as an assistant coach under David Adelman, sources tell ESPN. Barea will be on the front of the Nuggets coaching bench,” wrote Shams Charania on X.
