Trade Zeke Nnaji for Russell Westbrook.
i dont think they make any moves honestly. Definitely not of the Peyton Watson variety…
What’s the deal with the repeater tax? Don’t we need to get under payroll and extend Spencer?
I don't think the Nuggets need to make any trades, they just have to stay healthy.
Lonzo Ball is having a better season than Bruce, Lonzo is actually top 40 defender in the league this season – Bruce is a negative defender, Keon Ellis is a better Bruce Brown (But both struggle with actual playmaking)
Terence Mann has been "meh" his whole career, he has improved his playmaking this season significantly, still a below average player imo.
Ayo Dosunmu is easily the best player here, 65% TS, great playmaker, and can play defense, above average player (but can we secure a new contract with him next year?) also still only 25.
Naji Marshall 70% at rim, 59% mid range (3rd in the league) and is an above average defender who can pass.
None of those guys please ,,🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 ,
They need to sign Curtis jones I have a feeling he’s going to be something really good!!!
T. Mann would be an amazing fit if you could get him without giving up Watson. Stands out on the court, makes winning plays, would hit the ground running in Denver.
6:21 i think it would be the Bruce Brown of Jalen Picketts.
Terrance Mann is really bad at offense. He would have to replace Spencer or Bruce.
Julian and Zeke and Bruce for Ayo would be fire.
I don't see why a team would take 3 years of Zeke's salary without Denver throwing in a pick
Can’t we get rid of Bruce Brown who’s been a bust…
Bruce, Julian, Tyson, CB. Zeke is good he just never really had minutes before, better then rest of these guys. I would trade Payton i would trade CB with him too.
I've never understood Keon Ellis not getting playing time. I think he might be the most under appreciated guy in the league. He's lock down and he's an over 40% career 3pt shooter. His ball handling is negligible and he's under sized, but he's a great piece.
As a Lakers Fan. Lonzo will be a great fit, doesn't play much and more importantly when he does, really good point guard.
Just need more ball handling. Need another pg to handle pressure. Getting Monte back would be good.
We need height, defense and rebounding! Yeah I’d like ball but Pickett has been hitting his shots and playing good as the back up. We need a back up center for the long term. An athletic rim running shot blocker. We had that dude huff, something like that. Since we have joker it would add another layer to our team. We really don’t have a legit shot blocker outside of PWAT
Cb for Kuminga
Trade for cpj/tre jones/russ
Keon Ellis would be the nuts. Lonzo close second. Can’t move Watson, no way.
We don't need lnzo hell nah
Lonzo and Murray got beef in case y'all forgot. That wouldn't work. Need another big more than anything.
