That may backfire for the Nuggets

Unexpected. Hopefully Cam can stay healthy, otherwise this could go sideways with Jokic.

Smart by Denver. MPJ sucks, can’t believe they found someone dumb enough to take his contract.

That Durant trade has essentially netted the Nets so many unprotected 1sts over the next few years. Wild.

That draft pick could be pretty nice. Denver must have had enough of MPJ.

Nets have money to spend, they want that unprotected first. 7 years after Jokic who is in his prime now....

An unprotected pick in 2032...that can turn out to be a major

I guarantee that the Nets GM, coach, etc will not be there 7 years from now. MPJ is overpaid and does nothing for them.

Hmm, isn't this just a lateral trade? One tall shooting wing with injury problems for another?

EDIT: Nuggets save like 17M next year. So this may position them better for other deals or the apron struggle.

Nah this is an upgrade for them. Not talent wise, but he is more dependable and reliable version of Mpjr.
