ANALYSIS: The Nuggets had plans of re-signing Jerami Grant to a longer term deal, but after Grant's exceptional play in the bubble, Denver fears they may not be able to afford the 6'8'' forward. Grant averaged 12 points per game during the 2019-20 season and was a key piece in Denver's magical run to the Conference Finals.
