Nuggets 2024 offseason preview: What's next for Denver roster after playoff disappointment?

The 2024 offseason will either be a showcase of the Nuggets' patience, or their reaction time. It's up to general manager Calvin Booth to determine which philosophy is the way forward after Denver's NBA title defense ended abruptly and disappointingly in the second round of the playoffs. Were the Nuggets good enough to repeat if they just hadn't blown that 20-point lead in Game 7? Or was the series loss to Minnesota a broader revelation about the championship viability of their roster as currently constructed? The 2024 offseason features another late first-round draft pick, a critical player option for a championship-level starter and a lot of salary cap limitations as Denver prepares to operate on the fringes.
