If DEN threw in a future first rounder, then maybe, but they won't.

If DEN threw in a future first rounder, then maybe, but they won't.I really like the phrasing of Mudiay "being made" available as if it was some major change in status. Pretty sure he's been available for a while now.

Murphy's Law says Marcus locks in as soon as he leaves...I really am still a believer in his offensive improvement continuing. I think he will work too hard. He is a very intelligent player as far as knowing the game as well. Although he hasn't made a jump on offense I still do see bits continuing to improve and putting him on the brink (for example, his pick and roll passing as gotten even better this year and he has showed some knack for paint scoring sometimes, in a way that could work for him as a big physical guy).We all know about his shooting but it has picked up over time after a terrible start early.I have been bothered by the hand incident though and personally even more so by his talking about it due to the lack of acknowledgement that it was a self destructive and entirely self caused incident.Let's hope some other team with a first-rounder and a rotation player to spare think the same thing.
