The Los Angeles Lakers are soon to begin a postseason that will go a long way toward determining how many of the current players fit the long-term vision. It’s a harsh reality facing a franchise that built its roster around a different superstar than the one they’re preparing to move forward with.
With this in mind, the Lakers’ front office will likely keep an ear to the ground and their eyes peeled for developments around the NBA during the 2025 postseason—and a wild rumor has already surfaced.
The Denver Nuggets will enter the 2025 NBA Playoffs in a similar position to the Lakers. After unceremoniously firing general manager Calvin Booth and head coach Michael Malone, many are wondering what the Nuggets could do next—and a previous choice could inform their future.
According to Bennett Durando of The Denver Post, Booth explored an offseason trade that would’ve seen Denver part ways with star point guard Jamal Murray.
