Nuggets' ideal trade target already in rumors before season even starts

There aren’t many players that would fit into the current iteration of the Nuggets better than Trey Murphy III of the Pelicans. The 25-year-old forward broke out last season, averaging 21.2 points and 5.1 rebounds on the season. The 6’8” Murphy can do a bit of everything, offering solid defense on the wing and is a noted marksman from the outside.

Equally favorably, Murphy is on a very attractive deal that has him locked down for the next four seasons at just $112 million. It’s easy to see why a player like this would be extremely appealing to every team in the league, and the Nuggets are no exception.
