Denver Nuggets general manager Calvin Booth remained inactive at the NBA trade deadline for the second consecutive year. The Nuggets Ink podcast crew, featuring beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert, dissected the implications of Booth's decision.

The podcast discussed the potential impact on his playoff availability and the team's overall strategy. Head coach Michael Malone shuffled the starting lineup once again, opting for Russell Westbrook's presence while relegating Christian Braun to the bench. This move followed Aaron Gordon's return to the starting five. The discussion delved into Braun's potential motivation following the demotion and the validity of Malone's coaching decision.With the trade season concluded, the podcast concluded with a grading of significant trades, including the surprising blockbuster that sent Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers.
