What if the Denver Nuggets' decision to let KCP sign with the Orlando Magic is a strategic masterstroke rather than a blunder? In this episode of "Fandom From Afar," we dissect the Nuggets' offseason moves, balancing short-term setbacks against long-term gains under the NBA's second apron rules. While KCP's departure may sting, we explore the silver linings with Christian Brown stepping up and the promising addition of undrafted free agent Trey Alexander. We also dive into the ongoing buzz around Russell Westbrook potentially joining the roster and what that could mean for the Nuggets' bench depth and overall season outlook.

The roller coaster of emotions continues as we break down the Nuggets' big man situation, from the excitement of drafting Deron Holmes to the heartbreak of his Achilles injury. We discuss Vlatko Kantar's hopeful return from injury and the versatile skills Dario Saric brings to the table. The episode tackles the tough decisions around retaining Zeke Nagy and the potential transition of DeAndre Jordan to a coaching role. Wrapping up, we share mixed feelings about Jamal Murray and Jokic's Olympic performances and look forward to Todd Helton's Hall of Fame induction in Cooperstown, setting the stage for an exciting season ahead.
