Kevin Love
I think it’s only right for the Nuggets to put a bid in for Kevin Love. It’s worth a try, since most likely every team will be putting in a bid. Every team in the league would love to have Kevin Love in their lineup, so why not give it a try. First off, Denver has a good first round draft pick at number 11 overall. I think Minnesota would be happy with that, on top of their own 13th overall pick. In a draft filled with young talent, they would be able to get two solid young players from the draft. On top of that, Denver could give them a solid wing, a good center and a great backup point guard. Giving away J.J. Hickson, the Nuggets can start Timofey Mozgov, so they won’t be missing a starting center. Aaron Brooks can take over the backup point guard spot that Robinson had and with Gallinari returning, they can get rid of Wilson Chandler. I think both teams will benefit from this and improve next season. Here’s this trade outline:
Denver Gets:
Kevin Love
Minnesota Gets:
J.J. Hickson
Wilson Chandler
11th Draft Pick
