Nuggets consider major roster changes amid Jokic's contract talks delay
Summary

The Denver Nuggets are exploring a significant roster shakeup following another early postseason exit. Nikola Jokic remains the focal point, with the franchise ready to listen to trade offers for most players except him. Jamal Murray's future is uncertain, although he is not being actively traded. Injuries affected key players last season, impacting their playoff performance. Jokic, eligible for a $280 million extension this summer, may wait for a more lucrative deal, but insists he wants to stay in Denver long-term.
