Following the completion of Jamal Murray’s deal, the next logical move for the Nuggets should be securing a long-term contract for Aaron Gordon, argues Sean Keeler of The Denver Post.
Keeler views Gordon as an ideal fit alongside Murray and Nikola Jokic, noting his athleticism, solid defensive skills, and high basketball IQ as key assets.
With Gordon holding a $22.8 million player option for the 2025/26 season, Keeler suggests that the Nuggets should prioritize negotiating an extension to prevent him from entering free agency.
This proactive approach would ensure they maintain their competitive edge and continue to build a strong team foundation.
