What would be the dream scenario for the Nuggets at the NBA Trade Deadline?

Alright, if you’ve ever read a trade article of mine before, you’d know that I love Kemba Walker. I think that if the Nuggets could pull the trigger on a decent deal for the former Husky, they should do it. In fact, I believe the best deal would be as follows:

The Nuggets would have to waive Graham, but I think it’s a beneficial deal for both sides. The Hornets get a young point guard to try to replace Kemba and a reliable power forward in Faried. They also get a first round pick in next year’s draft, giving them a try at another first round talent.

Why do I think the Hornets would consider hearing deals for Kemba, you may be wondering. Well, it’s simple. In this extremely weak Eastern Conference, the Hornets are sitting at the 12th seed. To me, that means that it could be time for the Hornets to consider rebuilding a little more, and starting fresh. That could be the start of a trade of Kemba Walker.

Next: Nuggets win third straight

Well, that’s going to do it. It will definitely be interesting to see what direction the Nuggets take, and I can’t wait to see it unfold.
