The Nuggets’ current projected rotation entering next season:
Starters = Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon, Nikola Jokić
Second Unit = Julian Strawther, Peyton Watson, Vlatko Čančar, Dario Saric

The Nuggets currently have their #2 point guard playing in summer league and he’s had a game and a half with basically nothing to show for it against mostly guys who will never play in the NBA, if you’re wondering how the battle to back up Jamal Murray is going. – 10:38 PM

Re: @CanBball men: Jamal Murray will be rejoining team in France on Monday. Murray had a pre-approved personal matter that had him stay behind when team traveled to France from Las Vegas Thurs. The men have a closed scrimmage vs. France on 17th and a game vs. France on the 18th. – 4:35 PM

Calvin Booth says the Nuggets plan to sign Jamal Murray to a new contract extension after the Olympics: “I think it will be pretty easy. I don’t think it will be much of a negotiation.”
I would expect a new max deal to keep Murray in Denver.
