NBA Fans React To Nuggets Major Offseason Moves

In this story:
The Denver Nuggets are one of a few teams around the league that have made a real splash on the first two days of NBA free agency on Monday and Tuesday. The team announced the signing of veteran guard Tim Hardaway Jr., less than 24 hours after executing a blockbuster trade that sent Michael Porter Jr. (plus a first-round pick) to the Brooklyn Nets for Cameron Johnson.
NBA fans and analysts across social media have been giving the Nuggets their props for setting the tone this offseason, especially after a disappointing end to a turbulent 2024-25 campaign that saw them fall in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals to the eventual champion Oklahoma City Thunder.

And so far have acquired Cam Johnson, Bruce Brown and Jonas Valanciunas.
That is a helluva set of moves by the Nuggets, IMO.

As can be seen by the reactions, people are raving about Denver's effort this offseason. However, what matters is how they do next season and if they can challenge the Oklahoma City Thunder in the West.
