Tommy Knowlton (@TommyKnow303): I would give it a B, but I actually like the Nuggets staying silent here. It would have been nice to acquire a wing defender or a big to fortify the bench, but amidst all the rumors around the deadline, I feel like the players are happy to stay with each other which can breed more chemistry and confidence moving forward.
Ryan Blackburn (@NBABlackburn): C-minus. It’s hard to give a failing grade because the Nuggets didn’t “fail” specifically, but there were holes on the roster that they didn’t fill. They had an opportunity to get better and decided that the prices were too high and the deals they COULD get just weren’t good enough.
