Beat writer Bennett Durando opens up the Nuggets Mailbag periodically during the season (and now, the offseason). You can submit a Nuggets- or NBA- related question here.
Who is the most realistic addition the Nuggets will make this offseason?
— Kevin G, Thornton
You and everybody else are wondering, Kevin. Look, if we’re going to cut right to the chase, then I appreciate your use of the word “realistic.” There are countless roster changes that would be fun to imagine, but the Nuggets simply aren’t signing Klay Thompson out of free agency this summer.
Even in a hypothetical scenario where Kentavious Caldwell-Pope declines his player option, gets offered four years at $20 million by another team, and the Nuggets elect not to exercise their Bird rights to match that offer, that does not mean they suddenly have that exact amount of money to allocate elsewhere — even if Thompson’s market somehow falls to a $20 million salary.
Drew Gordon, a former NBA player and the older brother of Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon, died in a car crash Thursday in Oregon, multiple people familiar with the situation confirmed to The Denver Post. He was 33.
Drew often attended his brother’s games in Denver, where Aaron won an NBA championship in 2023.
I wish I was as thin as Broncos Country’s patience.
This came to mind while watching the Broncos practice on Thursday morning. Before the unscripted flyover, before the press conferences, before the injury updates, there was a moment of pause.
Former Oregon Duck Bo Nix dropped back during practice and fired a dart to tight end Lucas Krull.
Marvin Mims Jr. turned on the jets and took off.
During the 11-on-11 period of the Broncos’ organized team activities on Thursday, quarterback Jarrett Stidham threw a beautiful deep ball across the field as Mims snuck behind the defense to make a touchdown catch, highlighting a strong practice for the second-year wide receiver.
Broncos coach Sean Payton expects Mims to have a larger role on offense this season, saying, “I think we’ll see a lot of growth from Year 1 to Year 2.” At the same time, the former Oklahoma standout understands he has to continue making plays like his touchdown grab on Thursday to gain the opportunity for more offensive snaps during games.
“It starts on the practice field,” Mims said.
The Broncos will miss running back Audric Estime for a while, but the rookie appears to have avoided serious injury after dropping out of practice a week ago.
Estime, the fifth-round draft pick, hurt his knee during May 23’s open practice and was not in attendance this week. Head coach Sean Payton, though, said the hope is he’ll be ready about two months from now when training camp opens.
“We went ahead and did a (platelet-rich plasma injection) and a small scope procedure just to make sure everything is clean.
