Why The Denver Nuggets Do The Deal 

If Reid couldn’t play the 4, this would be a different story. Luckily, he can. 

Reid is a combo big. At 6’9, he’s agile enough to play the four, but he’s also got enough strength to line up in the middle. He can co-exist with Jokic in some lineups. 

He can also give this team’s second unit a major boost. As it stands, their reserve big man is Deandre Jordan.

He’s had a great NBA career, but his time as a rotation regular is probably done.

Why would the Wolves hand him to them?
