Nuggets: Bruce Brown vs. Russell Westbrook , Who Would Have Won?

Russell Westbrook announced his retirement, closing an 18-year NBA career that featured 209 triple-doubles, nine All-Star selections and stops with seven different franchises. His final NBA stop was with the Denver Nuggets during the 2024-25 season, and his departure has reignited a lingering "what-if" debate: would Denver have been better off keeping Bruce Brown instead of bringing Westbrook back for one more ride?

Health Determines Nuggets' 2026-27 Championship Hopes

The Nuggets closed last season with a 54-28 record and a third-place finish in the Western Conference, a remarkable achievement given the volume of injuries they endured. Nikola Jokic missed 18 games, Aaron Gordon was sidelined for 46, Cameron Johnson sat out 28, Christian Braun missed 38, and Peyton Watson missed 28. Those absences tested the roster’s depth but did not prevent Denver from remaining a playoff contender.
