Denver Nuggets have had a bit of a difficult start to the 2024-25 NBA season. Beyond Nikola Jokic, who has been at a Most Valuable Player level, the team led by Michael Malone has been worthy and, although they have increased their contribution a little, it is noticeable how the Serbian is the one who carries the offensive responsibility in its entirety.
The arrival of Russell Westbrook has not been what the Denver team expected and, since early in the campaign, the management seems to be getting to work to strengthen the squad. After being eliminated in the Western Conference Semifinals of the previous season, Nuggets once again come out with the list of candidates this season and want to improve their rotation with a prominent figure who was in the Boston Celtics, current NBA champion.

According to journalist Marc Stein, Nuggets have become a team to take into account to acquire Lonnie Walker IV, who was signed by the Celtics during free agency but was released before the start of the campaign. Walker IV has raised interest in his defense and his ability to generate his own shot.
In the last season with the Brooklyn Nets, the guard played 58 games and averaged 9.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 17.4 minutes of action. Without a doubt, Walker IV is one of the most striking names currently in NBA free agency to reinforce a team contending for the title.
