  Jul 31, 202640 min

  Tyler King is back with another episode of Basketball in the Mountains! Troy Finnegan returns for a temperature check on the Nuggets fan base a month into free agency and with the team doing very little so far. Peyton Watson still remains unsigned and his restricted free agency doesn't seem to be coming to an end anytime soon, nor do any trades feel imminent. Tyler and Troy assess the few moves Denver has made so far, including the signings of Marvin Bagley and Alpha Diallo, as well as the news that veteran coach Dave Joerger is joining David Adelman's staff as the top assistant.

Finally, Tyler wraps the show with some thoughts on the Phoenix Suns trading for Miles Bridges, a move that disappointed large portions of the fan base, as well as the Nuggets having a quiet start to free agency as the Peyton Watson (and more) situation is yet to be resolved in Denver.
