What Happened to the Denver Nuggets? with Adam Mares | Slam N' Jam

Now, whether that is they find a small trade to clear a roster spot and add a Justin Holiday, who's still in Denver, you know, was with the team last year. And you just add him to the roster, an extra shooter, veteran player. I think that one's almost a lock at a bare minimum. I think they're going to do that. And then there's a chance that they do take a swing at a bigger player.

You know, you look at a Jamal Murray and Jamal Murray is ineligible to be traded in the season. But you look at a Michael Porter Jr. I think there is a world out there where I could see them moving on from him. They need shooting. So they need what he provides. But more than anything, they need depth.

And as we mentioned earlier with Julian Strother, I just think in today's NBA, you can go into a playoff series with one negative defender on the court at any given time. And as the roster shakes out right now, Denver almost always has at least two on the floor. And in the playoffs, that projects to happen forward. So...

If you're not going to lose Murray, Michael Porter is a piece that I think you could look at and say he's a max contract. He could probably bring in a pretty good player. So I wouldn't be surprised. And then lastly, you know, I think this is Michael Malone's last season with Denver unless they win a championship. So unless they win the championship, I think that one hits as well.

You know, I think the one you think about, and I think half of this is just because he's Serbian, but Atlanta, Trey Young and Michael Porter Jr. were obviously AAU teammates, best friends. They play together. So Michael Porter going there and bringing back Bogdan Bogdanovich and maybe DeAndre Hunter, maybe Larry Nance, something of that nature. You'd have to make the contracts work.

That's always tricky, but there are some options out there that it is a workable trade. And I think about that one. I mean, you would get... Some of Michael Porter's shooting out of Bogdan Bogdanovich, you would get more ball handling. You obviously get a pick-and-roll partner. Whoever watched the Olympics, Bogdanovich and Jokic had a phenomenal chemistry running pick-and-roll with each other.

So you would add that to your team, and then DeAndre Hunter has been playing great. I mean, the Hawks might not be interested in this. They're playing so well right now with those guys. But DeAndre Hunter maybe gives you another rotation piece that you can trust in your playoff rotation that's not a negative on defense.
