Sep 9, 2026 · 32m

Summary

Host Matt Moore analyzes the Nuggets' roster moves, arguing they must sign a 15th player like Jordan Hawkins or Gabe Vincent to address ball-handling depth. He outlines "asset commandments," insisting the 2031 first-round pick must be used to acquire a star by 2028 and that Cam Johnson cannot be salary-dumped. The episode concludes by discussing how trading Peyton Watson for just a pick crossed a "Rubicon," creating personal animosity that could hurt the team.
