DeAndre Jordan - Joining Nuggets Jordan and the Nuggets agreed to a contract Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Now, he'll have a chance to be Nikola Jokic's direct backup. Last season, between the Lakers and 76ers, the veteran averaged 4.3 points and 5.5 rebounds in 13.0 minutes.

Nikola Jokic - Inks richest deal in NBA history Jokic agreed Thursday to sign a five-year, $264 million supermax contract extension with the Nuggets, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. The fifth year is a player option.
Impact The deal is the richest in league history -- appropriate for the back-to-back MVP. Over the past two years, he's averaged 26.7 points, 12.3 rebounds, 8.1 assists and 1.4 steals with shooting splits of 58/36/84. With Jokic's supermax secured, the Nuggets are practically locked into a core with him, Jamal Murray, Michael Porter and Aaron Gordon. There's no reason to think Jokic's role will change anytime soon, and he'll likely be the first pick in most fantasy drafts next season.

Ish Smith - Dealt to Denver Smith was traded to the Nuggets from the Wizards on Wednesday, along with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, in exchange for Will Barton and Monte Morris, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN report...
Impact For Denver, the motivation behind the deal appears to be ducking the luxury tax line to begin the year, as Smith's deal is fully non-guaranteed. With that in mind, it's unclear if the Nuggets plan to keep the veteran point guard, who joins his NBA-record 13th team. If he does stick around, the 33-year-old Smith will primarily compete with Bones Hyland for minutes behind Jamal Murray (knee).

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Shipped to Denver Caldwell-Pope was traded to the Nuggets from the Wizards on Wednesday, along with Ish Smith, in exchange for Will Barton and Monte Morris, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact In a deal that appears to be a clean, two-for-two trade, the Nuggets and Wizards will essentially swap starting wings and backup point guards. The trade also enables the Nuggets to narrowly dodge the luxury tax line, as Caldwell-Pope's contract is only partially guaranteed, while Smith's deal is fully non-guaranteed for 2022-23, per Evan Sidery of BasketballNews.com. Assuming Denver opts to keep Caldwell-Pope around, he figures to slide into the starting two-guard spot vacated by Barton. Caldwell-Pope averaged 13.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.1 threes per game in Washington last season.
