VAST VIEW Nuggets Reportedly Circling $10M Streaky Scorer To Boost Jokic And Murray
Denver is reportedly eyeing a trade for a combo guard on a $10 million deal who could give Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray extra scoring punch, according to Sporting News.
The Denver Nuggets have shown interest in adding a young veteran combo guard who carries a reputation for streaky, high-volume scoring, according to Sporting News. The report indicates Denver has been linked to a potential trade that would bring the player in to play alongside franchise cornerstones Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
According to Sporting News, the guard in question is on a contract worth roughly $10 million, making him a relatively affordable addition if the Nuggets can work out trade compensation with his current team. The report frames the pursuit as part of Denver's broader effort to add scoring depth around its star duo.
No trade has been finalized, and Sporting News' report centers on the Nuggets' interest rather than any completed deal. Denver has repeatedly looked to supplement Jokic and Murray with complementary scoring pieces as the team continues to push for championship contention.
