The Denver Nuggets' front office effectively put its entire roster — minus superstar Nikola Jokić, of course — on notice after April's woeful first-round playoff exit.
What they're saying: "Everything is going to be on the table – outside of trading Nikola," Nuggets president Josh Kroenke said during a press conference.
Zoom in: That likely leaves Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray as Denver's most valuable bargaining chips.
Murray's two-man game with Jokić is fun to watch, and his typical playoff surge has kept the team in contention ... until this year.
Meanwhile, Gordon is Mr. Nugget, a fan favorite, a defensive star and the team's emotional metronome. But injuries have severely limited his availability.
