Help me finish this trade Ayo+ for AG (with 3rd team, maybe?)

[Mamba4Goat]

So i think it could help Denver to move AG for longer term contracts/depth.
I think Chicago could either consolidate a little or move off some guys who may get caught up in a log jam and they’re naturally a good partner here with either landing Gordon or getting picks and expirings from team 3.

The issue becomes does Chicago want AG? What needs to get added to Ayo and Smith to get Denver interested? Which 3rd team makes the most sense?

Anywho, it’s a half baked idea but I couldn’t land on anything that I liked.

AG is a great roleplayer, but I just dont think any other team would pay the price of what he is worth for nuggets.

I might be the only one, but I think if denver want to consolidate one player into several, it should be Murray. Jokic is untouchable, MPJs value is just low and AGs value isnt high enough to lose his skill. Leaves Murray, and i would say its possible when using Jokic as the hub to replace him with several 3nD guards

Under this scenario of breaking up AG, I like Charlotte as a destination. He gives them a credible 2-way player who should be a ton of fun with Ball. The issue is matching. Gordon's contract has actually worked out really well, it's probably their only non-Jokic contract that is below what he provides. Maybe if Charlotte is taking back Nnaji.... a package of Dosunmu + Grant Williams + expiring + a pick could alleviate some financial pain for the Nuggets while helping their depth, but I like them more before than after.

For Nuggets to trade AG they must get back another player with his skills that is as good or better. So, AG is a versatile defender who can guard centers (he is their starting PF and backup small ball C in the playoffs), strong PF's as LeBron, Zion, Randle, KAT, or skilled wings as KD, Kawhi, Ingram. He also guarded Luka and Steph.
In the offense he must be OK to be a low usage player playing off of Murray/Jokic in the dunker spot, but also being able to outpower smaller players on the mismatches. If he can hit some 3s as AG (not consistent but can hit them) better. Ultimate team player with good BBIQ

I like a combo of our role players for Denver (Grant, Josh Green, or Micic) but I don't see us as a destination for Gordon. Might be tough spacing wise. He needs a stretch 5 or playmaker 5 next to him, which is why he actually looks like a really good player in Denver. His defense would be cool, but for the price tag he's going to command, he's not a good fit between Mark and Bridges. Move him along elsewhere but if Denver likes 1-2 of our role players, part of the return in a Gordon trade could go our way.

as to the original.

I see Gordon as a good role player on a winning team. The Bulls are looking for a starting PF and leader, he's never really been that, is getting older and would be expensive for a play in team. I don't see hm at his age on the Bulls new timeline. Where are the possibilities for him to sign a long term deal as a PO FA next summer? That means he opts in and a the Bulls have a second year of limited minutes for Philips and Buzelis to develop into more than bench guys. And AG making good money when they have Giddey and White up for big extensions.

I dont think there is a chance DEN trades AG but if so OKC should be offering Dort + Kenrich + FRP + grab bag of SRP.

SGA / Caruso / Jalen / AG / Chet is dope.
