The Denver Nuggets, fresh off their 2023 NBA championship, are facing challenges with the departures of key players Bruce Brown and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

As they look ahead to the trade deadline, speculation suggests they might pursue a deal for Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler. A proposed trade outlines the Nuggets acquiring Butler and Alec Burks in exchange for several young talents, including Michael Porter Jr. The potential trade is seen as a way for Denver to enhance their already strong roster led by Nikola Jokic.
