Nuggets last year: Get Swept by the Wizards with Jokic

Nuggets this year: Sweep the Wizards without Jokic

Guys are the Wizards Jokic’s kryptonite?!?!

Finally beat the Wizards 2-0 in a season. Sorry Wizards fans. You have one of the worst coaches in the league

Jordan Peele won’t hurt the Nuggets anymore

We take players out as soon as they start to get hot homie, it ain’t that deep

Its called tanking my friend. That 4Q was by design. And I hate it

KACHANG_069 | Nuggets

Payton Watson is looking so legit rn. Hope we can keep him

Proof-Umpire-7718 | Lakers

9 | 3 days ago

Probably will have to trade Cam J to afford him.

We would definitely pursure him hard in RFA if we realistically think he’s attainable.

KACHANG_069 | Nuggets

21 | 3 days ago

Right now I’m definitely taking PWat over Cam, it feels like Watson also has so much more room for growth in his game

RanceSama3006 | Nuggets

15 | 3 days ago

It sucks cause Cam went down when he was starting to get his groove, has barely been able to show anything off but with our current positioning we have to keep PWat over him

darti_me | Mavericks

2 | 3 days ago

He’s shaping up to be 2015 Iggy. A real Swiss army knife of a player which is kinda nuts considering AG is the current 2015 Iggy

spiralism | Nuggets

Probably will trade Cam to afford him. Cam gonna be limping out on the court in a game or two to avoid having to go house hunting again in the summer.

The worry on our end is that we’ll also have to trade someone else to make it work.

ComradeFrunze | Pelicans

Trade Jokic to New Orleans and build around Peyton Watson instead

tolzan | Nuggets

You already have mini-Jokic in Queen.

I unironically think Nico Harrison would have considered it, especially if they didn’t win with Jokic yet.

PWAT stocks continue to rise, another night where THJ shoots like Terry Rozier gave him a call just before the game started

Hydrophobic_Stapler | Raptors

It truly baffles me how he looks like he should be an all star one game, then the next game he looks like he should be playing at my ymca

Peyton Watson well damn, you’re about to get paid

darti_me | Mavericks

It’s the 2021 MPJ contract situation again. Too good to make role player money, not good enough for a max but irreplaceable in the lineup.

oldasshit | Nuggets

14 | 3 days ago

Nah, because Swatson is a plus defender. Mike is not

Peyton Watson on a new team through free agency will be good for the league

Whofreak | Nuggets

I fervently disagree :(

Proof-Umpire-7718 | Lakers

Lakers please

His defense, athleticism and scoring would be huge for us.

He can be our long term starting 3 or 4.

If I had to guess though, Denver will probably just trade Cam J to keep him.

1manadeal2btw | Nuggets

1 | 3 days ago

We will. Front Office already publicly signalled that they intend to keep him after this linsanity run.

I will say this, if there is any chance for a team to snag him, it will be LA. Given that’s where his roots lie.
