Brooklyn Nets Receive: G Jamal Murray, F Michael Porter Jr., 2024 First-Round Pick
Denver Nuggets Receive: F Kevin Durant, G Seth Curry
This Denver Nuggets trade finds the Brooklyn Nets employing similar logic as the last deal. They’re getting younger and future-focused at the cost of their best player.
Meanwhile, raise your hands if you’d like to see Nikola Jokic team up with Kevin Durant. If you don’t have your hand raised, congratulations: only a strange person would raise their hand in response to an article.
Still, it’s something you should want to see. Durant’s historically elite perimeter scoring draws defensive attention like few abilities in NBA history. So does Nikola Jokic on the low block.
With two players who absolutely require a double team for such vastly different reasons on the floor at the same time, the Nuggets would be unstoppable.

This Nuggets trade is probably unrealistic on the standards for even a Kevin Durant trade piece. The Nets are taking back damaged goods with both Murray and Porter Jr. recently dealing with injuries. Meanwhile, the Nuggets like the synergy their current core has.
As far as thought experiments go, this one may be far-fetched. It would change the landscape of the NBA if it did go through.
