As for Denver’s other two franchise cornerstones, the future is clouded by Kroenke’s comment. Should it be taken seriously? Or was it just an easy platitude, meant to convey the urgency of the situation after a disappointing first-round playoff loss? The easiest way to illustrate the Nuggets’ dilemma is to first predict every roster decision they’re going to make, minus trades.

Basically, we’re gaming out a ‘mock offseason’ but leaving it incomplete. That should give us a rough estimate of their 2026-27 payroll and how much salary they’ll have to dump via a trade to avoid on the books
