Now that Mason Plumlee has signed a 3 year, $41 million deal to stay with the Denver Nuggets, what does that mean for the team going forward?
1) It means backup center is locked up through at least the Millsap Era. If Plumlee had taken the Qualifying Offer of $4.6 million he would have been a free agent after this season. Denver obviously didn’t want to be back in the market for a backup center to Jokic next year, and Plumlee’s ability as a passer means the offense shouldn’t completely derail and lose its principles if Jokic stubs his toe and has to miss a couple of games.
