Both the Jazz and nuggets could be eliminated in the first round, at least they're not a competitive team. So if the two teams want to improve their lineups after this offseason, they have to make a move.
So is there a possibility that the Jazz and Nuggets will push each other forward in a trade? US media Greg Patuto proposed the following transaction plan:
The Jazz got: Michael Porter Jr., 2024 first-round picks, 2027 first-round picks
Nuggets get: Donovan Mitchell
Michael Porter Jr. is indeed a young player with good value, and even though he still faces some injuries, Porter still has a very good player with the potential to attack and defend when he can stay healthy. Because of this, the Nuggets put him on the shelf is indeed a very good choice.
The Nuggets replaced a backcourt player like Donovan Mitchell in this deal, mitchell has played an All-Star performance since playing for the Jazz, but the problem is that the Nuggets already have Jamal Murray in the backcourt core, and Murray may still play enough to lead the Nuggets forward after his return.
Because of this, to be honest, the Nuggets should keep Michael Porter Jr., after all, the team's current lineup can not prove itself this season due to injury problems, which is why the team management should be more patient with this lineup.
