The Impact on the Denver Nuggets

The Nuggets have a solid squad built up which is why these rumors boggle my mind even more. By drafting Juancho Hernangomez along with resigning Darell Arthur, it seems the Denver Nuggets have trust in their power forwards.

Also, Nick Young would come in and bother an already overcrowded backcourt, and to be honest, why would any coach give Young minutes over Jamal Murray/Malik Beasley/Will Barton. He does not offer an ability that these three do not already offer and probably to a much better extent.

The Denver Nuggets would replace Faried’s starting role with Randle, and Nick Young would wonder around 10-15 minutes per night I would imagine. Without more incentive, this trade seems ridiculous for the Nuggets, but then again, I do write about the Nuggets, so maybe I am too high on them.

These two teams should be content. Both have stellar young pieces and bright futures. This straight up trade seems quite ludicrous too me, honestly, for both sides. No one is a fortune teller, therefore, we will all just wait to see if this could ever happen.
