I don’t know how many people can see this, but I still expect Jeff Green to return and one player to sign for a minimum, whether that be a vet or Jalen Pickett using the 2nd round pick exception. Hunter Tyson most likely on a 2-way.
And then, that’s mostly it. 😬 – 1:52 PM

Expect that Nuggets to re-up Jeff Green, sign a minimum free agent, and either sign Pickett to a full-time deal or leave the 15th roster spot open. – 6:40 PM

Reggie Jackson could see the tears beginning to well up in Jeff Green’s eyes. DeAndre Jordan and Ish Smith went over to hug Green and stand by him. Smith began choking back tears. A few steps away, Jackson stood toward the end of the Nuggets bench, where he was crying too. With about a minute to go in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, as the Nuggets were nearing their first championship Monday night, the four veterans began to realize that the dream they had been chasing all their basketball lives would finally be realized. It is no coincidence that the first three Nuggets whom Jackson hugged as the confetti began to fall at Ball Arena were Green, Jordan and Smith. Jackson looked at Smith and said, “Man, we champs!” -via ESPN / June 15, 2023
It doesn’t matter that Green was the only one of the four who played meaningful postseason minutes off the bench. All of them played a role in the locker room and on the sideline to help Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and the Nuggets vanquish the Miami Heat and become world champions. -via ESPN / June 15, 2023
