Nikola Jokic is headed for his first ever bounce back season. How much of his playoff struggles were about his knee injury? How much was about his wrist, and can that be fixed?

Aaron Gordon is the heart and soul of the Denver Nuggets. He checks the most boxes of any player in terms of role and skill set.

So should the Nuggets look to trade him? The DNVR Nuggets podcas...
