Jonas Valanciunas on his revenge game vs Sacramento: 15/6/2 on a perfect 7-7 FG, 19 minutes played. He was traded straight up for Dario Saric, who was the only DNP-CD of the game.

Having a quality back-up big surely is nice for Denver! Even better that they were able to get him by shedding the contract of someone who couldn’t see the floor in Denver and still can’t in Sacramento.

Now how would you feel about a Zeke for Keon Ellis straight up trade Sacramento?

Zeke Nnaji scored 1 of his 2 shots and was a -3 for the game, while Ellis shot 3-9 from the field and was a -14. Think it would be a solid move for both parties!

(please Kings, one more spin)

please no we need him so badly

but how would YOU GUYS like promising, prime-entering, efficient scoring, foul-drawing Austin Reaves for an injury prone, 30 year old Aaron Gordon?

IT’S A STEAL OF A DEAL

According to the ESPN trade machine AR and Maxi Kleber for Gordon gives you a projected +9 wins!

I don’t make the ESPN Trade Machine projected wins added stats, I just post the results

But yeah that shit is broke lol Gordon is literally the heart and soul of Nugs defense

In a vacuum it’s probably a fair trade if not slightly favoring the team getting Reaves. But as things are no shot Denver would do it.

No way if u look at roster construction- gordon is the nuggets jack of all trades- shooting threat, slasher, primary defender. Plus his chemistry with jokic for passing is one of a kind. Reaves is too on ball and is worse on the defensive end

Gordon with Luka would go crazy though

I still can’t believe how much our new FO cooked this offseason with seemingly limited resources

This team is easily better all-around than even the 2023 team IMO doesn’t mean it will be as straightforward this year because OKC exists but I think when fully healthy the overall roster is better and deeper now

If this was the team we had back in 2024, they are easily a 67 win team and repeat. But now with the rise of OKC and the league getting stronger not anymore.

Yep, will be a veryyy tall order for the nuggets to try and beat OKC in the playoffs.

It’s far from unfathomable that a team that was already pushed to two Game 7s might lose.

I think with health Gordon and Braun we are capable if beating OKC, I would argue our record would be similar to OKC if we were full health

Nuggets has a solid chance to beat the current OKC but if Sam Presti went all in for a Giannis trade and is successful then yeah, the Nuggets can’t beat them. Nobody can.

So happy to finally have a legitimate back up big in the non Jokic minutes.

Getting him was huge

Why exactly did the Kings take Saric to begin with? I can’t believe we got him off the roster

LOSS35 | Nuggets

Saved them $5M in salary, which they immediately threw at Schroeder.

How is Saric still in the league? Feels like he’s contributed nothing the last 5 seasons

TheMoonWasBlue

I’m pretty sure the answer is that the big dummy Calvin Booth gave him a player option, which of course he picked up because why wouldn’t he.

Does Sacramento need this kind of a beat down really. We know they lost the trade already, they always lose the trade.

I’ve been struggling to understand how Saric has managed to stay in the league the past 5 years
