Things didn’t pan out for the Denver Nuggets this year.

In fact, it ended up being a season of change and disappointment, and fans are hoping things look much better in 2025-26.

The team’s front office is currently grappling with its choices and attempting to carve a path forward.

According to Sam Amico, the Nuggets organization is “hesitant” to part ways with some of the players who helped them win a championship a few seasons ago.

“So even Nikola Jokic as the main man, the Nuggets still need help. Sources say they’re hesitant to part ways with core members of their 2023 championship team — Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, Michael Porter Jr., and now, Christian Braun. Obviously, Jokic isn’t going anywhere,” Amico said, per NBACentral.

It sounds like the Nuggets have limited options right now, but that could change in the months ahead.

They wish to keep their core intact and don’t want to say goodbye to the stars who helped them claim a title.

However, that doesn’t leave them with many choices if they want to pursue trades.

There has been a lot of speculation about Russell Westbrook, but beyond him, there might not be many players leaving Denver.

Of course, the Nuggets might change their mind during the long summer months.

If certain players from other teams become available, Denver might decide to cut ties with Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr., or others.

However, one thing is certain: the Nuggets will not be moving Nikola Jokic, who is still considered the future of the team.

Right now, the Nuggets aren’t looking to trade many of their players, but they might feel differently after the sting of their postseason defeat wears off.
