Why The Trade Would Benefit The Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets proved that they can make some noise in the postseason. Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic are big-time players and have a great start once again. Jokic is off to an MVP start to the season which makes the Nuggets believe they are contenders for a championship.
If they truly believe this, we could see the front office go for it at the deadline. This would be an extremely aggressive move. Jimmy Butler was a big-game player for the Miami Heat down the stretch last season and he could do the same for Denver. This would give the team another weapon on both ends of the floor and create a big three.
The return would be large because of Jimmy Butler’s worth but if the team wants to win a championship, this might be the way. The current make up of the roster is very solid and this could point the. Nuggets in the direction of a blockbuster deal.
A player like Jimmy Butler could help the Nuggets to match up with both the Clippers and Lakers, who have elite wing players in LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, and Paul George. Being better equipped to do so would go a long-way in title contention efforts.
Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic are the only two untouchable players on the team. When it comes to a blockbuster like this, anything is possible and everybody is on the table.
