Denver Nuggets Face Uncertainty in Free Agency After Draft

GM Calvin Booth prepares for potential departure of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope while eyeing Christian Braun as a replacement.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope is expected to decline his $15.4 million player option and test free agency.
GM Calvin Booth expressed confidence in Christian Braun stepping into the starting lineup if Caldwell-Pope leaves.
Re-signing Caldwell-Pope could push the Nuggets into the second luxury tax apron, limiting future roster moves.
The Nuggets have 12 players under contract and are considering bringing back veterans DeAndre Jordan and Justin Holiday.
Booth's candid remarks reflect the challenges of balancing financial constraints with maintaining a championship-caliber team.
