What's with all these ex-Kings players getting such great playoff injury luck after they leave the Kings?
Fox is going to face a Minny team missing Ant and DDV! Hali ran through the Eastern conference playoffs the other year having the other team's best players out the majority of their series.

Denver should try move Murray and Johnson and build around Watson ( has all-star potential imo) instead try get a deal going with the Magic or Detroit who need a scoring player, the core of Jokic-Gordon-Murray has peaked , Jokic needs to focus less on stats and actually playing any form of defense if he wants to win another title. Denver needs a fresh look the league has figured them out. Barring injuries Spurs and OKC has it locked down in the West this I think was Denver last run for a title.
DIdn't watch game 6 for Nuggets getting the boot, but its interesting the Twolves seem to be playing without a hitch.....Conley is a former all-star and Dosunmu has prven to hve risen to the occasion........now they get a young Spurs team and the most interesting and unpredictable series in the 2nd round. Happy to see Primadonna whiner Jokić pack it.

They have to do the hard part and try to trade AG/murray… Murray simply can’t be trusted once the playoffs start unless the opponent is the lakers and AG can’t stay healthy more then two weeks he broke down out of nowhere after game one
AD already wants out he can solve there defensive off use by himself they’d have to make a three way deal to send Murray somewhere else however
Donovan Mitchell is said to be available if he doesn’t resign this summer
Denver just got old. Happens to every team eventually. I think they also found out that changing coaches didn't solve any of their problems. I liked DaRon Holmes II when they drafted him in 2024... He had to redshirt a year due to injuries but he should be ready for a bigger role next season. Jamal Murray had probably the best regular season of his career -- so maybe this was just a case of them ending up with a bad matchup? They're now in the same position that Golden State entered about 5 years ago. Jokic is good enough to carry them into the playoffs pretty much on his own but re-tooling on the fly to get back into contention is not easy with the CBA restrictions.

In hindsight MPJ despite all his brutal flaws was a ideal fit for them as well, they took OKC and Minny to 7 games with him (he was injured in the okc series) while the Johnson trade on paper looked good (I was for it) and it allowed them to get JVal they didn't help the Nuggets at all if all they added was THJ (had a good season) and Bruce Brown and MPJ stayed it could have been better all easy to say in hindsight.
I really hope the Kings can someone offload some contracts this offsesson and make a run at Watson maybe offer a sign and trade for Hunter going to Denver , the Nuggets will have to make major moves to keep him (which they should).
