The Denver Nuggets have made an impactful move in free agency, signing veteran guard Tim Hardaway Jr. to a one-year minimum contract. This addition comes after the team traded away Michael Porter Jr., signaling a shift in their approach, particularly in addressing their league-low three-point volume.

Hardaway, who averaged 36.8% shooting from beyond the arc last season, will complement fellow newcomer Cam Johnson as the Nuggets aim to enhance floor spacing around superstar Nikola Jokic. With the recent acquisition, Denver hopes to alleviate pressure on Jokic, who faced increased defensive scrutiny due to the team's previous lack of shooting. The Nuggets continue to evolve after securing their first championship, and the addition of experienced shooters like Hardaway and Johnson is a strategic response to their opponents’ defensive schemes.
