Renck & File: Watching NBA Finals is a reminder Nuggets need to forget dynasty talk and focus on winning one more title

DENVER, CO – JUNE 12: MVP of the NBA Finals Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets holds his daughter, Ognjena while giving teammate Aaron Gordon a hug on stage after winning the championship against the Miami Heat at Ball Arena June 12, 2023.

There is no denying this wider-lens philosophy cost them in May. A thin bench, Jamal Murray’s erratic shooting and the disappearance of The Other Guys conspired to gag away a 20-point lead in Game 7 against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Another title would resurface talk of a dynasty. Truth is, there won’t be another one for a long time. The Nuggets’ focus must be narrow, to win a second title before the window pane closes on the fingers of this team.They need it because it seems unlikely that Denver will compromise in its contract “stalemate” with the receiver. Sutton is a good player on an underwhelming offense. Combine that with his age — he turns 29 in October — and there is no reason to extend him.
