The Nuggets are gauging the value of Bones Hyland ahead of next week’s trade deadline, including both canvassing the league and taking calls on the second-year guard, two league sources told The Denver Post.
Ahead of next Thursday’s trade deadline, the Nuggets are seeking players with two-way skills on similar, cost-controlled contracts as Hyland has in addition to pick compensation. The Nuggets believe they have traction on potentially acquiring a first-round pick, sources said.
Hyland has two years left on his rookie deal worth approximately $6.4 million.
Asked at practice on Monday whether he’d had difficult conversations with Nuggets general manager Calvin Booth ahead of the deadline, head coach Michael Malone described the nature of their dialogue as productive.
