Denver Nuggets Projected Salary Cap Situation for 2024-25 Season Unveiled!

A Comprehensive Overview

The Denver Nuggets are gearing up for the 2024-25 season, and their salary cap situation is a significant factor that will shape their roster decisions. According to recent projections from the NBA, the salary cap for the upcoming season is expected to be approximately $141 million.

As it stands, the Nuggets are slightly above the luxury tax threshold, even without taking into account the salary of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who has a player option for next season.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the Nuggets' projected salary cap table for the 2024-25 season:

Player | Salary
Nikola Jokic | $50 million
Jamal Murray | $32 million
Michael Porter Jr. | $30 million
Aaron Gordon | $20 million
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope | $12 million (player option)
Monte Morris | $10 million
Bruce Brown | $8 million
Christian Braun | $4 million
Collin Gillespie | $2 million
Davon Reed | $1.5 million

With this salary cap situation, the Nuggets will have limited flexibility to add significant pieces to their roster via free agency. However, they may consider trading some of their current players to create more cap space or acquire players on more favorable contracts.
