Among the topics discussed: + The Jerami Grant/Mason Plumlee revenge game that wasn't: What was the scene like inside Ball Arena? How much is Michael Malone to blame for Grant souring on Denver?

Was Sunday's win over the Jazz a preview of things to come? + Michael Porter Jr. is back on the roster, but no longer starting. Should he be in the starting five? Is he a better weapon for Coach Malone coming off the bench? Where would you like to see him grow as an offensive player? + Trade rumors are swirling around Bradley Beal. Should the Nuggets go after him? What might they be able to offer? Are there any other players possibly on the trading block that could help Denver? + Nuggets vs. Lakers: What do we want to see out of Denver against the defending NBA champions? Are the Lakers actually the biggest threat in the West? Or are the Clippers or Jazz overtaking them?
