DNVR Denver Nuggets Podcast

The third week without Denver Nuggets basketball starts, and Miroslav is getting more and more certain that big changes to the roster are needed to keep hope of championship contention in years to come.

Will Jones of "What's in a Game" podcast, Nick Hertzog of "The Dig" podcast, and former producer of "All-NBA Podcast with Adam Mares and Tim Legler" James join Miroslav to discuss their personal Nuggets journeys for the past month, plus:

Will Nikola Jokic ever win another MVP? Will Jamal Murray ever make another all-star game? And would you rather add a veteran to the coaching staff or end of bench? Will Jokic improve his 3-point shot? The DNVR Nuggets podcast gives odds for several possibilities for the Denver Nuggets next season.

Christian Braun had a tumultuous season in the final year of his rookie deal. After signing a 5 year, $125 million extension, CB shot poorly before eventually tearing 3 ligaments in his foot. How much of his slump for the Denver Nuggets should be attributed to his injury? And was he the scapegoat for the Nuggets this season? The DNVR Nuggets discuss what his future could look like in Denver and what things he should work on to improve.

Jamal Murray had a horrific playoffs in 2026 despite having by far his best regular season. The DNVR Nuggets podcast team tries to figure out what to make of such a difficult to read season for one of the greatest Denver Nuggets of all time. Do they need to go away from the two-man game? Do they need another ball handler? Is Christian Braun suddenly a horrible fit for Jamal Murray?

Nikola Jokic is headed for his first ever bounce back season. How much of his playoff struggles were about his knee injury? How much was about his wrist, and can that be fixed? And how much of it was about a team that runs a system that got shutdown without Aaron Gordon or being overly reliant on the two-man game with Jamal Murray? How well would his game translate alongside a different roster? The DNVR Nuggets podcast team debates.

One of the biggest choices the Denver Nuggets need to make is whether or not to keep Peyton Watson and what it might mean for Cam Johnson’s tenure with the Nuggets. What would roster construction look like with each guy around Nikola Jokic? And how will each player age in the coming years? The DNVR Nuggets podcast team breaks it all down.

Josh Kroenke held a presser and gave support to David Adelman, Ben Tenzer, and Jon Wallace, while saying they might bring the roster back, but also mentioned Nikola Jokic is the only player who definitely won't be traded this summer. The press tried to get answers on future spending and roster adjustments, but got blanket statements, which are usual for this part of the off-season.

Jeff Morton of the CSG Podcast joins Miroslav to discuss the fallout from the presser mentioned, sticking with David Adelman, and potentially sticking with players like Christian Braun, Jamal Murray, and Aaron...

Josh Kroenke addressed the media alongside Jon Wallace, Ben Tenzer and Denver Nuggets head coach David Adelman. The 4 of them took tough questions from the media about Nikola Jokic's future, Jamal Murray's weaknesses, Aaron Gordon's health, the luxury tax, and several other topics surrounding the Denver Nuggets.

Aaron Gordon is the heart and soul of the Denver Nuggets. He checks the most boxes of any player in terms of role and skill set. He also, as Nikola Jokic once said, is “the guy who sacrifices the most.” But he’s also been injured in two playoff runs in a row and is possibly wearing down physically in a way that might never come back. So should the Nuggets look to trade him? The DNVR Nuggets podcast team breaks it all down.

And if so, what kind of trade would make sense? Does Nikola Jokic need a two-man game partner as good as Murray? Can Peyton Watson replace some of what Murray provides as a PnR partner? And does Christian Braun’s lack of offense limit who Denver can trade Murray for?

What do we think of the decision, and what are we hearing the team is thinking about right now? Can they still be contenders if they bring back Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon to fill out the big 3?

Nuggets fans are waking up to a new reality after the Denver Nuggets came up short in the 2026 playoffs. Nikola Jokic suddenly seems vulnerable and Jamal Murray may no longer be a reliable running mate for the 3x MVP. Aaron Gordon’s health is in doubt going forward and there is no easy way forward. So what was actually learned about David Adelman, Josh Kroenke, and the future of the Nuggets? The DNVR Nuggets podcast lays out the over-arching lessons from a difficult year.

And it is over. The Nuggets fall in game 6 to the Minnesota Timberwolves and are eliminated from the playoffs. Despite even more critical injuries hitting the Wolves today the Nuggets couldn’t find a way to overcome their series deficit and this will end their season. Losing in the first round this year leaves no shortage of massive questions the Nuggets must answer this offseason. Where does this leave David Adelman as the team’s head coach? Is this the last time we see the big 3 of Jokic, Murray, and Gordon together? What happens with Peyton Watson? We break down...

Thursday’s Game 6 between the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves is shaping up to be one of the biggest of the Nikola Jokic era. On today’s show, Adam Mares, Harrison Wind, and Eric Wedum (D-Line Co.) discuss why Jokic and Jamal Murray MUST come up big in Game 6 and what other factors will determine if Denver pushed this series to 7.

The Spencer Jones game! Nikola Jokic had another 3rd quarter triple double, and the Nuggets offense was flowing free for the first time this series.

The Nuggets are on the brink of elimination in the first round despite a slew of injuries for the Minnesota Timberwolves. Dante DiVencenzo tore his achilles early in the game and then Anthony Edwards also left the game with a knee injury. Despite the injuries the Nuggets were not able to get the win in Minnesota and are down in the series 3-1 and cannot afford to lose again. Is there a bounce back or is the season over? Where can Jokic & the Nuggets go from here? Adam Mares, Harrison Wind, Duvalier Johnson, and Eric Wedum (D-Line Co.) come...

Game 3 against the Minnesota Timberwolves was the worst game of Nikola Jokic’s career. And it may have been the most demoralizing game of the last 3 years. The DNVR Nuggets podcast team looks at the things that MUST change in game 4 in order for the Nuggets to get back into the series. Zeke Nnaji may be a key player, Christian Braun may need to bring the ball up, and the Jokic-Murray two-man game has to find a rhythm.

The Nuggets were just embarrassed. The team started things off by only scoring 11 points in the first quarter, and things never really got better after that. Jokic had one of the worst games of his career and through games Rudy Gobert has gotten the best of him in a way we’ve never seen. The Timberwolves now take a 2-1 lead in the series and it feels like the Nuggets are reeling and fighting for their lives. Can the Nuggets bounce back from here or is tonight a sign that the3 team has quit on the season? What the he...

Nikola Jokic and Rudy Gobert have gotten the headlines for the Nuggets vs Timberwolves series through two games but there are other key battlegrounds in this series.
