Why The Denver Nuggets Do The Deal 

Firstly, the Nuggets are a team with title aspirations. If they meet that goal this summer, they won’t do this deal. 

Let’s assume they don’t. In that event, they’ll likely look to make major changes. This would certainly qualify as one. 

It may also be the right move. The idea here is to cut ties with Porter Jr. to bolster their depth. This offense already runs through Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray – as much upside as Porter Jr. has, he’s expendable. 

Especially for this package. Hart is the type of 3-and-D wing that will complement Jokic. Meanwhile, Quickly isn’t far off Porter Jr. in terms of upside.

Fournier should earn some spot minutes as a microwave scorer as well. None of these players are perfect, but each is valuable.
