With a night to reflect, how does Denver’s involvement in the four-team trade reported by nearly everyone last night look in the light of day? First, let’s assume there is no follow-up deal and the Nuggets did this trade for its own sake. What does this all of this do for Denver’s roster?
First off, to recap: Denver will send out guard Malik Beasley, forward Juancho Hernangomez, and forward Jarred Vanderbilt while getting back small forward Keita Bates-Diop, forward/center Noah Vonleh, point guard Shabazz Napier, swingman Gerald Green and Houston’s first round pick.
