Denver Nuggets Weigh Potential Zach LaVine Trade Involving Michael Porter Jr.

The Nuggets are exploring trade options, including a possible deal for Bulls star Zach LaVine, as they evaluate their roster ahead of the February deadline.

  • The Denver Nuggets are reportedly considering a trade for Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine, with Michael Porter Jr. and Zeke Nnaji as potential trade pieces.
  • LaVine, known for his scoring efficiency and off-ball capabilities, could address Denver's need for more driving and three-point shooting options.
  • Concerns about LaVine's injury history and large contract have limited his trade market, but Denver sees potential synergy with Nikola Jokic's playmaking abilities.
  • A trade involving Porter Jr. would sacrifice Denver's positional size and rebounding but could enhance their offensive versatility, particularly during Jokic's rest minutes.
  • The Nuggets are also exploring other trade targets, including Cameron Johnson and De’Andre Hunter, while remaining cautious about disrupting their successful core lineup.
