Denver Nuggets Make Consolidation Trade For Star
The Denver Nuggets came as close as any team to advancing beyond the Western Conference in the NBA bubble, but more talent may be needed to take the next step to surpass the Los Angeles Lakers. With Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray playing at such a high-level, could a third star put them over the top?
Holding onto a lot of solid players for too long can result in almost giving some away via trade ahead of their free agency. That’s precisely what happened to the Nuggets when they moved on from Malik Beasley by sending him to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
After the upcoming NBA season, Monte Morris is set to become a free agent. He’s been effective off the bench and if paired with the $20.5M Gary Harris is set to earn, the Nuggets have a helpful option to help match salary in a potential deal for an intriguing player.
Whether it’s for a player like Bradley Beal or a different All-Star caliber talent, the Nuggets could become a massive threat adding another dynamic talent. Jamal Murray displayed explosive potential in the NBA bubble and adding more firepower would be intriguing.
