Denver Nuggets Receive: DeMar DeRozan

San Antonio Spurs: Gary Harris, Will Barton, 2021 1st Round Pick

DeMar DeRozan to Denver would create an interesting trio along with Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic. This is the kind of move that would solidify the Denver Nuggets and turn them into legitimate contenders for a championship.

DeRozan is playing in the final year of his contract after exercising his player option this year worth $27.7 million. He did not reach an agreement on a contract extension with the Spurs and is set to become an unrestricted free agent next NBA offseason.

The Nuggets have a few options to send to San Antonio such as Gary Harris and Will Barton. Because of the type of player DeRozan is, the Spurs could also demand a first-round pick, which would be low if the Nuggets finish near the top of the NBA.

Let’s break this deal down even further and see how each side would benefit in this trade.
