Mason Plumlee intended to be part of Nuggets' core

Denver Nuggets forward/center Mason Plumlee "is going to be a huge piece of our core," general manager Tim Connelly said.

What It Means:

Connelly said he's still happy with the Jusuf Nurkic and Plumlee deal, which is part of the reason the Nuggets didn't make the playoffs. He'll be backing up Nikola Jokic next year, especially after the Jokic-Plumlee lineups refused to work late in the season.

Plumlee's 2.8 nERD was a shocking 74th in the league last year.
