As trade rumors and activity are heating up around the league, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski dropped a tweet indicating that the Denver Nuggets are “serious candidates” in a potential four-team trade involving the Minnesota Timberwolves, Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks:
Among the serious candidates to emerge as a new fourth team in this trade scenario, league sources tell ESPN: The Denver Nuggets. Talks with teams elsewhere are ongoing too. https://t.co/77s2keXl9a

Reports of a trade between those three teams have been ongoing all day as the Wolves search for assets to potentially flip to Golden State for D’Angelo Russell, the Hawks look for a center and the Rockets pine for another wing defender.
