DNVR Denver Nuggets Podcast

ESPN’s NBA Future Power Rankings place the Denver Nuggets just 18th over the next three seasons—and predict that Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray could eventually be separated. Is Denver’s championship window closing, or is ESPN dramatically underrating a team built around the best player in basketball? The DNVR Nuggets Podcast debates the roster, front office, financial limitations and future of the Jokić era. Plus, Michael Porter Jr.’s confidence inspires our most irrational Denver Nuggets beliefs.

The Denver Nuggets have reportedly emerged as a team to watch in pursuit of free-agent wing Cam Whitmore. Adam Mares and the DNVR Nuggets crew discuss Whitmore’s potential fit alongside Nikola Jokić, what he could add to Denver’s rotation and whether the Nuggets need upside or immediate reliability from their final roster spot. The panel also asks whether the Nuggets’ season opener can possibly be more discouraging than the Broncos’ opener. Plus, which outlier Denver statistics—including three-point shooting, offensive efficiency, pace and defense—will be better or worse this season?

Aaron Gordon opened up at his youth basketball camp about his connection to Denver, his relationship with Peyton Watson and the “soul searching” that shaped his offseason.

Plus, Danilo Gallinari calls out Kawhi Leonard, and the panel examines how superstar decisions affect NBA role players. The DNVR Nuggets Podcast also debates NFL versus NBA popularity, the future of Denver’s fanbase after Jokić and whether league parity gives fans more teams to hate.

This week, besides the Jokic interview in Serbian, the NBA gave us news only about some fringe players, so Miroslav called up a group of friends for some philosophical contemplation.  Will Jones of the What's in the Game podcast, Peter Plummer of the Nuggets Wave podcast, and Patrick Rasmussen joined to discuss whether the NBA CBA is actually bad or if Nugglife struck back with its bad timing.
The squad also talks about a possibility of the Nuggets actually taking advantage of the Luxury Tax Aprons in the future. 
After that, the guests compete in the third episode of the fourth season of DNVR Nuggets AND ONE Nuggets Trivia GameShow!

Nikola Jokic enters his 12th NBA season with the Denver Nuggets facing huge questions about his workload, his contract future, and whether this could become the best season of his career. Miroslav breaks down how Jokic looks after covering him with Serbia, how DeMar DeRozan could change Denver’s offense, and why the Nuggets may need to reduce Jokic’s touches to keep him fresh for the playoffs. The conversation also dives into Jokic’s scoring expectations, Denver’s championship ceiling, and whether contract extension questions will become a major storyline all season long. Miroslav Ćuk joins Harrison Wind of DNVR Nuggets to Predict Nikola Jokic's 2026/27 season.

This week, the NBA has laid a hammer on the Los Angeles Clippers, deducting 5 first-round picks and punishing Steve Ballmer with a $30M fine, which is more than what he spends in restaurants for a full week.
Miroslav is joined by old friends Mike Olson, Patrick Rasmussen, and last week's Trivia Champion, Brian Johnson.
The crew reflects on the Clippers situation before discussing whether DeMar DeRozan could be the Nuggets' solution to their gaping backup-one hole.
Finally, the guests battle for the crown of this week's Trivia Champion in the second episode of the 4th season of DNVR Nuggets AND ONE  GameShow!
