Free-agent guard Facundo Campazzo hopes to remain in the NBA. He will likely gauge the interest of other teams throughout the league. However, if he's unsuccessful in finding a suitor, the 31-year-old hasn't ruled out returning to Europe. Campazzo was a sporadic contributor for the Nuggets over his two years with the club, averaging 5.6 points, 3.4 boards, and 1.1 steals. Yet, he fared much better during his few appearances in the starting lineup. Nevertheless, despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, he's still someone to watch, especially if he finds himself back on an NBA floor and gets some extra minutes.
Denver Nuggets guard Monte Morris is receiving trade interest from clubs throughout the league. The 26-year-old averaged a career-high 12.6 points, 4.4 assists, and 3.0 boards while shooting 39.5% from deep last season and was a pivotal component of the team's starting rotation. He has two years and $18.9 million remaining on his current deal. Yet, with Jamal Murray (knee) expected to return for the start of the regular season along with the anticipated progression of Bones Hyland, the organization may look to move the former Cyclone and save some cash in the process. Morris has shown flashes of efficiency over the years. Yet, he could thrive with a change of scenery, which would certainly benefit managers in all formats.
Denver Nuggets forward Jeff Green exercised his $4.5 million player option on Sunday, potentially keeping him on the roster for 2022-23. The 35-year-old played a vital role for the club last season due to the absence of Michael Porter Jr. (back), finishing with averages of 10.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.3 assists throughout 63 starts. If Porter eventually returns moving ahead, the veteran will likely get a consistent role off the bench. However, he may not do enough to make a difference for fantasy managers, although he should get some additional minutes if someone goes down with an injury during the year.
Denver Nuggets forward Jeff Green is expected to pick up his $4.5 million player option for next season. The veteran forward did a decent job last season in Denver. He averaged 10.3 points and 3.1 rebounds through 75 games. Green filled in nicely with Michael Porter Jr. being sidelined for a majority of the season. However, Porter is expected to be healthy next season, so Green isn't likely to see the same amount of playing time. It's unlikely Green carries fantasy value unless he becomes a starter again.
Denver Nuggets forward Will Barton could be on the move this summer. With Jamal Murray (knee) expected to be back at full strength and the increase in production of Bones Hyland late last season, Barton may be expendable as the organization looks to bolster things on the defensive side of the ball. The 31-year-old averaged 14.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.9 assists in 2021-22 and has one year remaining on his current contract. He has battled injuries and has yet to play an entire season throughout his tenure in the league. However, while Barton isn't an everyday fantasy producer, he can get it going on occasion.
