CSG #941: The magical thinking of 'run it back' for the Nuggets

About this episode

Jeff discusses the implications of the Denver Nuggets potentially bringing back the same team next year despite injury concerns and financial penalties.

Hypothetical: The Denver Nuggets bring back exactly the same team next year as the one that played this year. Leaving the severe financial penalties aside, there is magical thinking involved with that approach that doesn't match reality. Will this Nuggets team with a two year history of injuries suddenly be healthier? Jeff talks about those implications.
