We'll talk about Chris Paul and the idea of him maybe taking that 15th roster spot for the Denver Nuggets and what that could mean.

It's speculative.

There hasn't been any sort of reporting, but I wanted to go ahead and get into the idea of it based off of the likelihood of Denver, at least being conceptually in need of something similar to that.
