NBA Trade Rumors: 5 teams that should try to pry Jaylen Brown out of Boston

Denver Nuggets

Whether you’re willing to believe it or not, it seems like the Denver Nuggets are going to be headed into the postseason with a bit of pressure. This is a team that, at least on paper, should win the Western Conference. For the most part, they’ve been the most consistent team in the West, through and through, this season. Should they lose before the Western Conference Finals, it would be a colossal disappointment.

If the Nuggets can’t break through in the West this season, you’d have to wonder whether this core will ever be able to do so. The West is wide-open and there are more questions than answers for many of its teams. The stars are aligning for a surprise team to arise in the West. If it isn’t the Nuggets, this is an organization that will have to make a change.

And perhaps pursuing a veteran star to place next to Nikola Jokic will be the answer for the team during the offseason. If they must make a move for an established star, Brown would be a great addition. He’s a great offensive weapon and is one of the better wing defenders in the league as well.
