In the latest edition of the Nuggets Ink podcast, beat writer Bennett Durando and sports editor Matt Schubert reconvene with Russell Westbrook expected to soon join Denver in free agency. Among the topics discussed:

  • Russell Westbrook is bound to be a Mile High favorite, but does he have enough left at nearly 36 years old to help the Nuggets return to the NBA Finals? Ideally, who can play alongside Westbrook on the second unit?
  • Has the Nuggets’ starting five taken a step back this season with the loss of KCP? Are they deeper now than they were a year ago?
  • Rookie DaRon Holmes II ruptured an Achilles tendon in his first Summer League game. How much does this injury hurt Denver’s plans? And what else can be gleaned from the Nuggets’ performances in Las Vegas?
  • The Paris Olympics are almost here. Who is most likely to bring back a medal: Nikola Jokic or Jamal Murray?
