The Golden State Warriors weren't the only team interested in Paul George this offseason; the Denver Nuggets also inquired about the All-Star forward. However, discussions with the Los Angeles Clippers stalled as the Nuggets were unwilling to include certain young players in trade talks.

Ultimately, George opted out of his contract and signed with the Philadelphia 76ers, while the Nuggets are struggling early in the season, despite strong performances from Nikola Jokić. The team's decision to rely on unproven talent may jeopardize their chances during Jokić's prime.
