David Adelman’s offensive and defensive identity to better align with

Nikola Jokić–centric basketball. He explains why Adelman’s

read-and-react system thrives with high-IQ connectors, disruptive

defenders, and reliable corner spacing—and where the current roster

falls short.

Cyro outlines three core fixes to Adelman’s style: restoring the

connector role to keep the offense flowing when Jokić is pressured,

increasing defensive events to unlock transition scoring, and upgrading

weak-side spacing to maximize the Murray–Jokić two-man game. He also

dives into Denver’s statistical profile, highlighting the contrast

between elite shooting efficiency and bottom-tier “stocks” (steals +

blocks).

From there, Cyro presents a series of data-driven trade

targets—including Matisse Thybulle, Tre Jones, Ayo Dosunmu, Jose

Alvarado, and Nick Richards—that fit Adelman’s “slow, clean, high-IQ”

mandate while addressing Denver’s defensive shortcomings. Each option is

evaluated through salary mechanics, efficiency metrics, and schematic

fit within Adelman’s evolving “Euro Blockade” approach.

Catch the full breakdown for a clear, numbers-backed roadmap on how

Denver can fine-tune Adelman’s system and extend its championship

window.
