Why The Denver Nuggets Do The Deal 

Meanwhile, the Nuggets are taking a buy-low opportunity on Reddish here. 

It’s fair to wonder whether he’ll be fit to contribute to what the Nuggets hope is a deep playoff run. Reddish has done little to inspire that type of confidence in his career so far. 

If he isn’t? It’s not a major loss. The Nuggets can likely replace Smith on the buyout market. A pair of second-round picks won’t be sorely missed. If they sit Reddish for the rest of the year, it’s not a big deal. 

Alternatively, Reddish could find his home in Denver. In theory, he’s a good fit alongside Nikola Jokic.

If Reddish can become the 3-and-D wing with secondary shot-creating skills people had envisioned in the Mile High City, this could be a steal. 

In other words, it’ll be a great deal for the Nuggets.
