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.

It’s NBA buyout season and the Denver Nuggets have an open roster spot—so we’re breaking down the top buyout options who could actually help Denver’s injury-hit rotation right now and potentially stick beyond this season. We debate whether buyout signings really move the needle (looking back at Reggie Jackson) and why this year’s needs—ball handling and backup power-forward depth—feel more urgent with Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson banged up. Plus, Harrison Wind, Adam Mares, & Brendan Vogt of the DNVR Nuggets podcast run through names like Lonzo Ball and Haywood Highsmith and explain what fits best next to Nikola Jokic in the playoffs. Subscribe for daily DNVR Nuggets coverage and drop your favorite buyout target in the comments.

The DNVR Nuggets podcast team breaks it all down.
