If the Nuggets miss the Western Conference Finals, can these players stay in the team next season?

In the fifth game of the NBA Western Conference Semi-finals in the 24-25 season, the Nuggets collapsed 105-112 in the final quarter and lost to the Thunder. If the Nuggets, who are behind 2-3 in total, miss the Western Conference Finals, they may have to dismantle the team and rebuild them in the offseason. Can these players still stay in the team next season?

The Nuggets' problems in the second position are very big. Both offense and defense are not matched with the Thunder's strong team. After five games in the Western Conference semi-finals, Braun only scored in double-digit points. He is really not qualified to play the so-called starting second position. This young player's ability is really too bad.

Although it is an injury-based battle, Porter still has a lot of opportunities to play in the Nuggets today. However, except for the third game of the series, Porter's shooting percentage in the other four games is terrible. Although he has a jump shot, his defense is always very average. Does the Nuggets plan to use Porter to trade other players?

Jabbar Murray should theoretically be the second leader of the Nuggets, but his performance this year's playoffs was very unstable. He made 27 crazy moves in today's game but only scored 10 goals. It may be time for the Nuggets to play in a different way. Will Murray be traded in the offseason?
