Aaron Gordon Remains a Nugget!

Aaron Gordon is one of the most underrated players in the league.

The Denver Nuggets have been, for the past few seasons, losing a lot of key players from their 2023 Finals run. They lost players like Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Bruce Brown for nothing. Fans now wonder if the team will re-sign Aaron Gordon. AG came through big in the Finals, becoming the third option. He averaged an easy 14 points per game, 7.4 rebounds, and 3 assists per game. A talented, versatile defender. He can guard many positions and is an incredible off-ball player. It makes perfect sense why the Nuggets would resign him. Giving him a huge contract for four years, a 133 million dollar deal. Keeping the core four intact for the future.

Aaron Gordon is one of the most underrated players in the NBA. A guy who can hit open threes, cut to the basket, be an underrated passer, and guard many positions. His legacy in Denver will be that of one who embraced the Mile High culture. Since the team got him back in 2021, he has become everything that they were missing. After giving up Jerami Grant in free agency, AG was able to fill the hole that was missing. Aaron is key to the Nuggets' success. So, it was vital for Calvin Booth and the front office to keep him at all costs.

The Nuggets lost key players from their championship run. But they prioritized keeping their main starters based on sound judgment. Both Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon got contracts that reflect their worth. Both players were instrumental in winning their organization its first championship. Jokic and Gordon are the best frontcourts in the league. AG can play off the Joker and finish with ease around the rim. A versatile defender who can guard 1-5 positions. Aaron got paid this season and will continue being a factor in the Nuggets' future run. The extension of Aaron Gordon is one of the best moves Denver made this past off-season.
