Sun Jun 01 02:40:00 UTC 2025: **Nuggets Eye Free Agency to Bolster Roster Depth**
DENVER – Following the loss of key players like Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in recent years and unsuccessful signings such as Reggie Jackson and Dario Saric, the Denver Nuggets are actively exploring free agency to rebuild their roster depth and contend for another championship.
Bennett Durando of the Denver Post highlights potential targets for the Nuggets, including a familiar face: Bruce Brown. Brown, a fan favorite from Denver’s championship run, could be poised for a return after stints with the Pacers, Raptors, and Pelicans. Durando reports mutual interest between Brown and the Nuggets, noting his recent acknowledgment of David Adelman’s hiring as head coach.
Other potential acquisitions include Toronto Raptors center Chris Boucher, whom the Nuggets previously considered at the trade deadline. Boucher could address Denver’s pressing need for backup center depth. Durando also lists Tyus Jones, Larry Nance Jr., Jake LaRavia, Dennis Schröder, Justin Holiday, Jae’Sean Tate, Luke Kennard, Clint Capela, and Mason Plumlee as potential options for the Nuggets this offseason.
However, fans and analysts alike are questioning how Denver will be able to make all of these signings with their limited salary constraints. There are trade rumors surrounding the team, with proposals ranging from trading Aaron Gordon and Jalen Pickett to trading Porter Jr. for Mathurin, Jarace Walker, and Isaiah Jackson. While it is unlikely the Nuggets will consider trading away Gordon, these trades could possibly provide the Nuggets with the depth they are looking for.
