Given the Nuggets’ financial situation, lack of draft capital, and fairly stacked roster, there aren’t many feasible trade targets available that would significantly move the needle. However, one player who has been a good fit for a long time is Trey Murphy III of the Pelicans, the big wing scorer and sharpshooter.
But on Friday, Senior NBA Insider, Chris Haynes, reported that Murphy, along with Zion Williamson, Herb Jones, Jeremiah Fears, and Derik Queen, will all remain with New Orleans beyond the trade deadline on February 5th.
Murphy would be the real prize of the bunch for a contending team like the Nuggets, though.
