The Denver Nuggets are entering a pivotal offseason in which their roster is crying out for upgrades. The organization will be under major pressure to properly reopen the championship window around Nikola Jokic.
It has not been discussed enough, but 2025-26 represents the second-to-last guaranteed season for the Nuggets having Jokic on the books. The Serbian superstar has a player option for the 2027-28 season.
In an effort to push the Nuggets closer to title contention in 2025-26, Grant Hughes of Bleacher Report suggested one ambitious trade target for Denver to chase. The player in question was Derrick White.
In a recent appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Shams Charania explained that trading Jrue Holiday, Kristaps Porzingis, and Sam Hauser are the priorities for the Boston Celtics this season. However, there was a twist.
Charania also alluded to the idea that, apart from Jayson Tatum, anyone on the Celtics roster can be had for the right price. This is where the Nuggets can come into the picture to push for White.
Hughes wrote, “Everybody loves Christian Braun, but the Denver Nuggets need an even more dynamic two-way threat next to Jamal Murray to maximize Nikola Jokić’s prime.”
