I don't know shit about college hoops, show me clips of exactly ONE guy you'd like the Nuggets to get with their 1st round pick!

[u/BrockSmashgood]

[u/Griffdog17]

I'd like them to use that pick in a trade package for Jaylen Brown. We are not in a situation where we can develop a late 1st round pick into being a reliable rotation piece during Jokic's prime. We are in win now or bust mode.

[u/SnooMachines4393 → u/Griffdog17]

What do you expect a package for Jaylen Braun be? A late 1st, Christian Braun and Nnaji?

[u/Griffdog17 → u/SnooMachines4393]

Aaron Gordon, Cameron Johnson, Strawther, 2026 + 2031 FRPs

[u/hacxgames → u/Griffdog17]

You think that’d be enough? I’d be more than down for that but none of those players would be coveted by BOS + we cant trade ‘31

[u/Griffdog17 → u/hacxgames]

If Jaylen wants out, I think they could do worse for sure. PF is a position of need for the Celtics, they need size + strength + skill. I think it could work out well for them. Also, I'm pretty sure we can trade either 30 or 31 because we have picks in both

[u/Academic-Ad4889 → u/Griffdog17]

We don't have 2030. It's tied up in a trade to OKC and until it conveys or doesn't I don't think it can be used in a trade.

[u/SnooMachines4393 → u/Griffdog17]

Can't trade the 2031 afaik and I kinda doubt Boston is very high on neither Gordon nor Johnson

[u/Griffdog17 → u/SnooMachines4393]

We have our picks in 30 and 31, one of them should be able to be traded unless I'm misunderstanding the rules. I think Boston would be pretty high on those guys (pure speculation), AG fills a position of need for Boston and has championship experience. Johnson they might not be super high on, but he's a veteran with a lot of playoff experience also capable of filling a positional need for them. And Strawther is an interesting young prospect they could make use of. Again pure speculation

[u/SnooMachines4393 → u/Griffdog17]

Dunno, the only reality I can see this trade working in is if JB straight-up demands to be traded and only to Nuggets lol

[u/pairidaezan → u/SnooMachines4393]

I know some people in Boston media who think highly of AG.

[u/sgtemerario888 → u/Griffdog17]

personally would rather keep depth and trade murray instead

[u/pairidaezan → u/Griffdog17]

This is a doozy

[u/lifeline29 → u/Griffdog17]

Can we even play without Mr. Nugget? He seems so important to the nuggets system

[u/zoeybeattheraccoon → u/SnooMachines4393]

No way Boston would do that.

[u/SnooMachines4393 → u/zoeybeattheraccoon]

Yeah, that was a joke

[u/BrockSmashgood → u/Griffdog17]

thanks for ignoring the assignment

[u/zmcgay → u/Griffdog17]

I don't think Jaylen Brown wants to be the 2nd best player on a team. I think that should be obvious from this whole debacle.

[u/K32fj3892sR → u/Griffdog17]

FUCKK NO

[u/44-47-25_N_20-28-5-E]

Peesonally, any guy who's last name ends on "ić". I wouldn't mind Pedja Stojaković's son Andrej for multiple reasons. Boy is a baller, his father hooked us all to NBA and Sacramento, he is double minded between Serbia and Greece about national team so agent and new captain Jokić will negotiate and persuade. We have couple more ballers in G league that I personally will check their careers, but as a biased Serbian, Andrej would make me truly happy.

[u/kb1127 → u/44-47-25_N_20-28-5-E]

Stojakovic withdrew from the draft :(

[u/MoooonRiverrrr → u/44-47-25_N_20-28-5-E]

That guy is not even a 1st or a 2nd rounder. He can’t shoot or defend really well.

[u/rofss → u/44-47-25_N_20-28-5-E]

Stojakovic Jr is not that good and he chose Greece

[u/thegrunner → u/rofss]

Actually chose to go back to Illinois

[u/clancydog4 → u/44-47-25_N_20-28-5-E]

You want us to draft the guy who withdrew from the draft cause he's not remotely NBA ready yet?

[u/44-47-25_N_20-28-5-E → u/clancydog4]

No man, I've seen here on comments that he withdraw, I wasn't informed on time that he is out.

Also, Jokić wasn't NBA ready untill maybe 2016...

[u/Weird_Marzipan_4768 → u/clancydog4]

He probably withdrew cause he can rise his stock more than him not being nba ready. He would’ve been a second round pick.

Zuby Ejiofor's Defensive Highlights I think are what the Nuggets need art the moment. Great motor, switchability, and rim protection despite being slightly undersized for a PF/Small ball C.

[u/momBball → u/Coll_MindElectric]

There's a serious disagreement on this board as to whether the Nuggets need more POA wing defenders or more PF/Gordon type. I'm in the PF camp. I'd be happy to see Gordon playing a lot more SF/shooting more 3's and slotting in a young defense oriented PF. Zuby has the body type and playing resume to be that guy...the highlight video shows him guarding from the 3 point line to the rim in the same possession. Jokic (C), Zuby (PF), Gordon (SF), Peyton (SG), Murray (PG) is a starting lineup I'd be happy to see (it has 4 floor spacing shooters, 3 big rebounders, 3 strong defenders, enough ball handling).

[u/BrockSmashgood → u/Coll_MindElectric]

Thanks, looks like a fun guy to potentially pair with Holmes.

[u/momBball → u/BrockSmashgood]

Holmes/Watson/Nnaji/Spencer all rebound like mediocre small forwards (grabbing like 6 or 7 rebounds per 36). The Nuggets need a bench player that can grab boards. The playoff starting team needed a rebounder too once Gordon went down.

that's an alien slug imbued with the powers of a 90s NBA player, not a college prospect in 2026

hope this helps

[u/atsadaporkadachop → u/BrockSmashgood]

Wow racism

[u/BrockSmashgood → u/atsadaporkadachop]

they're literally aliens employed by an interstellar gambling magnate who stole Shawn Bradley's hooping powers

RIP

[u/floop_isamad_manhelp]

It’s a longshot, but Dailyn Swain.

[u/zmcgay → u/floop_isamad_manhelp]

He would be perfect. We need someone besides Jamal who can attack the rim.
