Such a fun and satisfying read. Excellent work. It is, however, full of a great deal of delusional thinking, which did entertain me greatly. The Nuggets were a one-trick pony this past season, sorry to burst your bubble Sports World of Asher Hyre. Luckily I do know of just the solution though, so fear not. To maintain this level of play they'll need to add 2-3 more "dunker-spots" alongside the likes of Aaron Gordon, or else the league will catch up to Jokic's slimy European game reliant on trick plays. The personnel in question, think Dwight Howard's 2015 Houston Rockets display, and peak Terrance Ross. This is setting the bar extremely high of course, but it's important to see what you're aiming for. For year one of this rebuild, I'm thinking Jokic at the point followed by Mac McClung, Hamidou Diallo, Aaron Gordon, and Rudy Gobert. That's the vision, and they have the assets to flip their roster to achieve this youthful and nearly maximized lineup that I've gone through the trouble of constructing.
