Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily for July 8th, 2025.

I'm Dave Dufour here with Esperi and Adam Mares from the All-NBA podcast and DNVR to talk about all things.

Nuggets offseason.

Good morning, everybody. Good morning, guys. Welcome, Adam. Welcome back to the show.

Pretty good summer so far for your nuggets out there. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I can't believe it, man.

This is the most eventful offseason of the

entire Yokic era. There's never been more than one or two guys added to the roster. This is a

whole roster overhaul. So very exciting. What we've kind of talked about this, you know,

after the season a little bit. Like something had to change. And I was of the opinion that this

So I'm very excited about Cam Johnson.

It's also like changing the fabric of the team because

Michael Porter Jr. was so important to what they were for a very long time. And so you're,

you're rejigging what the quote unquote core was of this championship level roster for a really

long time. How do you feel Cam fits in? Because I think he fits in like a glove playing off ball

Yokic. I mean mean Dave and i have talked

about like just the cutting ability moving without the ball but what do you think first impression

wise with cam on this team uh for me it's a home run fit and if you look at Christian brown if we just

talk about skill sets you know how great of a player is he. He's really good. He doesn't have a great
