The Denver Nuggets are actively seeking offensive reinforcements before the February 6 trade deadline. Reports indicate that they are particularly focused on acquiring Zach LaVine from the Chicago Bulls, among other players like Jordan Poole and Jordan Clarkson.
To facilitate such a trade, the Nuggets may need to part with Michael Porter Jr. and potentially Zeke Nnaji along with draft assets. With Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray as their primary offensive creators, the team aims to relieve some of the scoring pressure on Jokić, who is currently performing at an MVP level.
While LaVine presents some defensive concerns, his scoring prowess and efficiency could complement Jokić effectively, especially as the Nuggets aim for a championship run in a competitive Western Conference.
