ESPN analyst Tim Legler (“Legs”) breaks down the Denver Nuggets heading into the NBA All-Star break, including whether there’s enough runway to rebuild chemistry and make a real title push despite injuries to key defenders like Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson. He explains why Nikola Jokić and a resurgent Jamal Murray still give Denver the best chance to challenge Oklahoma City Thunder in the West—and what must improve defensively after the break. We also hit the latest NBA buyout market, naming potential end-of-roster targets (Lonzo Ball, Haywood Highsmith, Kyle Anderson) and why it’s tough for any midseason addition to crack a true championship rotation.
