Now that we’re 24 hours past the trade deadline, I’ve had some time to digest what this week’s flurry of moves means for the Nuggets, the Western Conference, and the NBA. My conclusion? Nuggets’ fans have a lot to be excited about.
Overall, the front office did what it could to improve a contending team. Keita Bates-Diop is an athletic player who adds wing depth and possibly a bit of shooting, and Jordan McRae gives the Nuggets a legitimate scoring option at guard after losing Malik Beasley. If other teams were demanding MPJ in order to play ball for a big name, then I’m just fine with the Nuggets making smaller moves, thank you very much.
