MPJ and 32 UNPROTECTED 1st to Nets for Cam Johnson

Huge trade, perhaps the Nuggs needed something like this....But are the Nuggets the ONLY team that can't put protection on a FIRST ROUND PICK....it's like mortgaging your future ???? Geeezzzz

For final estimation, we need to wait until 2032 to see which pick it turns into, and also how the Nuggets will use the cap space FO just created with this deal.

Also, CJ needs to prove his health is able to play 60+ games (full playoff) per season, which he has only once so far (out of 6 seasons).

PG Murray
SG Braun
SF Gordon
PF Johnson
C Jokic
6th ????
Watson
Strawther
Pickett
Brown
Nnaji

If we sign a starter-level FA (or trade some future pick) to be our 6th player, Denver will be better than ever next season if all 5+1 stay healthy and Watson improves as expected.

Return to Denver Nuggets
