Does this trade make sense for the Denver Nuggets?
When landing one of the top scorers in the league, it is always beneficial. That is what is happening here for Denver. Since they are close to winning a title, the Nuggets could be looking for that next piece to take them over the top. Denver has plenty of assets to send away in a deal like this.
If Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic are able to stay together in a trade for Bradley Beal, this is a huge win. This would give the Nuggets a true big three that would compete with anyone in the league.
Bradley Beal and Jamal Murray would create one of the best backcourts in the league. It would be a level of offensive output that could overwhelm most of the teams around the NBA with two explosive scorers alongside the reigning MVP.
This would be a difficult lineup to defend because they could have any one of the three go off at any moment. Beal would create much more space for both Murray and Jokic on the offensive end of the floor. The Western Conference is only going to continue to improve and the Nuggets will have to keep up.
