Welcome to Opposition Intel!

It feels like it has been an eternity, but Bucks basketball is finally back, and looking very different to when we last checked in too.

Brandon Knight is gone. Kendall Marshall and Kenyon Martin are also gone. As is Jorge Gutierrez, and with a buyout reportedly close, Larry Sanders could be next to join them.

With the trio of Michael Carter-Williams, Miles Plumlee and Tyler Ennis all now a part of the Young Bucks, what should we expect next?

First and foremost, the question is whether we’ll see any of those new faces tonight as the Denver Nuggets come into town.

The Nuggets have had an incredibly tough season, and in the loaded Western Conference, they’re a long way off the pace. These aren’t the halcyon days experienced by this group only a couple of years ago with George Karl at the helm, and with Arron Afflalo and JaVale McGee departing yesterday, that now feels even further away than ever.
