Chapter 1: What are the upcoming NBA trade deadlines and their significance?
Guys, the NBA trade deadline is two weeks away. It's coming up quick. I don't know how active or how big of a heavy hitter the Nuggets will be at the trade deadline, but I think they might look to make some moves, and I have a couple guys on this list of potential targets that I want to get your take on. Number one, Lonzo Ball. Oh, come on. He's playing to the crowd.
Lonzo Ball right now, Cleveland Cavaliers. He's averaging five points, four rebounds, four assists per game. Kind of been in and out of the rotation some of the year. No, he's out, man. Heavier minutes early in the season, not so much as of late.
He has unfortunately not fit the way they hoped, in part because he's broken. He honestly is in a Hunter Tyson shooting slump.
He's shooting 27% from three on the year.
It's really bad. But you know what? I don't care. The guy can guard.

Chapter 2: Who are the potential trade targets for the Denver Nuggets?
I honestly still think, of all places, Denver is the spot. And the bigger thing is you don't have to give up anything. It really is a money dump first and foremost because you want to get off of Zeke Nagy's contract just for flexibility down the line. Julian Strother is a guy to me that I'm not like Denver should be investing in any further. If he turns out to be a great player, so what?
It's like Denver is not in the developing stage right now. That's what it would cost to get him. And his contract next year is team option. So you could just, if it doesn't work out, you brought a guy on to replace end of bench guys. And so there's only upside.
It either works out and it's awesome and he helps you in the playoffs or it doesn't work out and you saved yourself a bunch of money next year. To me, this is the one. And I think Cleveland would do it. That's what I was going to ask. Would Cleveland do that? They're not playing him. He's sunk cost, so to speak. I don't know if they would do it because do they like Julian Strother and Zeke Nagy?
I mean, maybe not, but you know. Does Lonzo Ball help the Nuggets in the playoffs? He might, is my point. There is a chance because Denver, in my opinion, still needs defense on the perimeter. They need ball handling. And he is a very good passer that doesn't really get to do that because people don't guard him. But in Denver, it might be a little different.
He might actually work with a Jokic, so... To me, this would be like my dream trade deadline. Oh, baby, let's go. In large part because I don't think it's going to be a fireworks one, but you never know.
Well, I mean, do you look at it like, let's say in theory, he fills the Bruce Brown role instead of Bruce Brown?
Yes.
So I think more playmaking out of that position.
offensively he's arguably having a worse year than bruce brown it's like the same points per game way worse efficiency does average more assists per game he is six five so defensively that probably makes him a bit more versatile i think the best argument here is that if you could do it to get off of guys who aren't playing and then that turns into money you're getting off of like that's

Chapter 3: How does Lonzo Ball fit into the Nuggets' playoff strategy?
Is he better, though?
He's, like, better defensively but not offensively. So they're just the yin and the yang of each other.
Yeah. I don't think offensively it's close at all. I think it's easily Pickett. But Carter is a dog and a defender.
He is a dog.
And he's managing to shoot 41% from three this year.
He's like if Jalen Pickett was Bruce Brown.
Yeah.
If Jalen Pickett was... Because he's a dog like Bruce, you know?
Is he the Jalen Pickett of Bruce Browns? Maybe. He might be. So I don't know on this one, man. I don't know. Okay. Let me throw a couple names at you that would probably take a slightly bigger package than we've been talking about for the Nuggets to get. One guy I really like and that I think would be an awesome fit on the Nuggets is Terrence Mann. He is a dog.

Chapter 4: What are the pros and cons of acquiring Keyon Ellis?
But somebody that you're betting on of like, hey, Jordan Walsh is good. Before the breakout, we think that's the guy we want. And some other team looks at Julian and says, we'll let him shoot every time.
The crazy thing about Julian is whenever you're considering what is he capable of, winning a game six against the Oklahoma City, which is like, that's a crazy thing to reflect on.
Big time. Well, let us know in the comments what you think. Do you got anybody on your Nuggets trade deadline target list? Any predictions for the deadline? Let us know. We'll see what happens in two weeks.
