Denver Nuggets: Top 3 Most Alluring Trade Options
John Wall- 6’4″- 195 lbs- Point Guard- Washington Wizards
As previously seen, the Nuggets have a passing problem. The ball sticks and most made baskets are unassisted. John Wall- a superstar point guard- could fix all that. This would be my proposal.
The Wizards, who barely missed the playoffs last season, may look to rebuild sooner rather than later if the right trade presents itself. Wall is one of the best point guards in the NBA, but he has little help around him, and in Denver he could get him that help.

While players like Bradley Beal and Otto Porter would help start the rebuild in Washington, picks from Denver would also help Washington flip their team quickly. They are now currently 2-7 and are off to a rough start, which means that questions will soon be asked.
The Nuggets would be able to keep their core young pieces while giving Emmanuel Mudiay more time to build in playmaking off of the bench. The Nuggets could easily be 6-4 or 7-3 right now if they had a player of John Wall’s caliber to take over late in games. This has constantly been an issue in Denver, and a trade like this could help Denver solve several key problems on this team.
Wall has averaged 8.3 assists per game, but he has been asked to do far too much which has increased his turnovers to 5.4 per game. John Wall is still one of the league’s elite point guards, but he will need help to get back to that level.
The Wizards may not be open to trading Wall, but as they continue to struggle, Wall’s patience and the fans’ patience may start to wayne.
