The Nuggets decided against Russell Westbrook right before they won their first title. This year, they made the bold bet.

An unnamed Denver Nuggets player reportedly didn’t hold back when speaking about Russell Westbrook during the team's playoff run.

Denver Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook may encounter a tight market in the event he opts out of his current deal and becomes a free agent. "I can't see another team doing it, but I never thought we would do it," one Nuggets source told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne about the idea of signing Westbrook.
