Why The Denver Nuggets Do The Deal
It is believed by the Nuggets that Hyland needs to be moved because he is deemed unready for their win-now timeline. The reasoning behind that makes sense.
For him, they are asking for a first-round pick. I guess that doesn’t sound too bad either – kind of. It’s a reasonable price for a player who has been as productive as Hyland, but is that what the Nuggets need?
Instead, we believe that the Nuggets should make a win-now trade, since this team could be a piece away from being the favorites to win a championship in the near future.
As a versatile guard/forward who can play with anyone, Richardson could be the piece you need in your team. As a whole, his ability to shoot three-pointers, pass the ball, and play defense will improve the Nuggets on the court.

There already is talent on the Nuggets’ roster to shoulder the playmaking load. Richardson would just need to fit in as a complementary piece. In the event that he does not meet their standards, then who could?
