The Nuggets lost Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in free agency
The Denver Nuggets have not had a great offseason so far. Set to lose Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in free agency to the Orlando Magic once deals can be officially signed, the Nuggets have yet to find a replacement for the sharpshooting guard who started 152 regular season games and 32 postseason games for Denver the last two years.
While Denver still has arguably the best player in basketball in Nikola Jokic, the rest of the Western Conference continues to improve, which only increases the pressure on the Nuggets. Speaking recently with reporters, Nuggets assistant general manager Tommy Balcetis addressed the complications the league's new CBA has had on free agency, and how that has directly impacted Denver's outlook at it pertains to losing Caldwell-Pope.
“Free agency is still happening, so nothing’s set in stone, obviously. But just in general, the NBA right now is kind of on the verge of changing just a little bit because of the new regulatory changes, and the new CBA,” Balcetis said, per. “I think it’s going to be a fun challenge for a lot of teams. We’re trying to be ahead of it in so many ways. I think that there’s going to be missteps along the way for every team really, to kind of start to calibrate where the CBA is going to lead us.
As it pertains to navigating this new CBA, Balcetis added per The Denver Post, "We’re trying to not just be in the mix with everybody. We’re trying to be better than everybody, and that means finding a specific edge. What that is, we’re in the room trying to figure out.”Title: Credentialed writer covering the NBA for Sports Illustrated's FanNation Email: joeylinn52@gmail.
