Denver Nuggets Receive: G Terry Rozier
Charlotte Hornets Receive: G/F Will Barton, G Nah’Shon Hyland
The Denver Nuggets could be in the market for a point guard if Jamal Murray will not be back in the regular season. If that is the case, Terry Rozier could be an interesting name being sent to Denver.
Despite receiving a long-term contract extension, things can change in the NBA. If the Charlotte Hornets receive a surprisingly strong performance from James Bouknight then moving on from Rozier and his hefty contract would be the best long-term answer.
The Nuggets would essentially be waiting to capitalize a situation where the Hornets either look to trade Rozier to capitalize on his trade value, or simply realize it’s time to look to younger options as they are in the midst of a ‘youth movement’ led by LaMelo Ball.
In return, the Hornets would get an intriguing prospect in Nah’Shon Hyland. His draft stock skyrocketed during the combine and ended up being a first-round selection of the Nuggets.

Will Barton would also be on his way to the Hornets in this return. He could be a stopgap option on the wing to rely on as Bouknight develops in the backcourt.
Let’s take a closer look and see how this NBA trade scenario centered around Terry Rozier would impact both the Charlotte Hornets and Denver Nuggets.
