When you have the reigning MVP on your team, it’s probably not in the Denver Nuggets front office’s best interest to immediately spend valuable cap space on bolstering the position. Especially when other categories on the depth chart require more urgent attention due to injuries and free agency departures.
But, it should be noted that with JaVale McGee signing with the Phoenix Suns, the Nuggets no longer have a true center on the roster besides Nikola Jokic.
