Malone grew increasingly frustrated with roster construction after the Nuggets forsook their right to match contract offers for Caldwell-Pope, sources said. The veteran guard ultimately signed with the Orlando Magic for three years and $66 million. Booth believed the sacrifice of KCP and other, more significant pivots could be necessary to win a second championship. He even explored trades involving Jamal Murray last offseason and Porter during this season, league sources told The Post. But the Nuggets have only made marginal moves since the departure of KCP, including a $10.6 million signing of Dario Saric that has failed spectacularly.

For the “Can’t Sleep” crowd.
The Nuggets needed that one. Jamal Murray needed that one. Russell Westbrook needed that one.
One step closer to a playoff spot.

As @katywinge just noted, Jamal Murray (hamstring) has been upgraded to questionable tonight against Memphis. We reported yesterday, in this Nuggets deep dive, that he was likely to play. Sources say it’s looking even more likely now.

Jamal Murray has been upgraded to questionable with right hamstring inflammation.
Typically when an upgrade happens on a game day it means the player will go through their pregame warmup and see how they feel. If everything goes well, they play. – 3:28 PM

Joel Rush: Jamal Murray on his clutch play in the #Nuggets’ win in their last home game: “I live for this, I dreamed about this as a kid in my backyard counting down the shot clock… We believe. We’re playing with confidence, positivity… It’s been a great start since the change.” -via Bluesky / April 12, 2025
Tim MacMahon: I’ve talked to several people within the organization. I’ve gotten a lot of, ‘Hey, really surprised by the timing,’ but I haven’t gotten people who told me, ‘This doesn’t make sense’ or ‘This shouldn’t have happened’ or ‘This was a poor decision.’ Honestly, I’ve gotten a lot of the feeling of, ‘Hey, we needed fresh air. We needed a change.’ And frankly also—optimism that David Adelman is a guy that is going to be a damn good head coach. It’s a tough situation to throw a guy into—a few games left in the regular season, on a team that has the best player in the world. But he has the respect of Joker, of Murray. Those guys like him. And there’s a feeling that maybe the roster rallies behind this guy. -via YouTube / April 12, 2025
