Option 1: More Offense

Denver trades MPJ and Nnaji to Utah for John Collins and Jordan Clarkson.

Denver trades a talented but miscast shooter and an athletic big that never found a role for a vet microwave scorer and an offensively versatile forward looking for the right fit.

KCP/Braun
Collins/Watson/Strawther

Utah trades two vet rotation players whose contributions will be better utilized elsewhere for a talented shooter looking for a bigger role in MPJ. Nnaji is a young big under contract looking for a change of scenery.

Option 2: More Defense

Denver trades MPJ and Nnaji to Brooklyn for Cam Johnson and DFS.

Denver trades a talented but miscast shooter and an athletic big that never found a role for two rotation vet wings ready for an opportunity to win. Cam replaces some of MPJ's shooting but adding reliable veteran wing depth is a huge improvement for the defense.

Brooklyn trades two vet rotation wings for a talented shooter looking for a bigger role that can take some of the scoring load from Cam and Mikal. Nnaji adds depth the front court.

I have the Nets deal as untenable for the Nets

Option 1 is not an option for Denver
Option 2 is not an option for Brooklyn

I don't think Denver should do #1, nor would I want to commit that much money to those two players for Utah without incentive. #2 feels too risky for Brooklyn.
