The Nuggets did not make too many reinforcements in the offseason, their biggest operation is to renew the contract of Porter Jr. with the high salary, but after the start of the new season, Porter Jr.'s play is not very good, he did not give Jokic enough help, which also led to the Nuggets' performance at the beginning of the season is not ideal, the Nuggets have only achieved a record of 4 wins and 3 losses, and the team's offensive efficiency is ranked third in the league, which can be seen from the Nuggets lack of players who can score.
In response to the current predicament of the Nuggets, in recent days, there is a US media support, suggesting that the Nuggets pursue Rocket guard Gordon, and also designed a set of 3-for-1 trading plan, the specific content is that the Nuggets sent Will Barton, Ball and the second round of 2024 draft picks, so as to exchange for the Rockets' Gordon, it can be said that this deal is necessary for the Rockets and nuggets.
First of all, for the Rockets, the team is in the process of rebuilding, in order to make more room for newcomers to grow, the Rockets are also actively peddling Gordon, and the Nuggets chips are very good, Barton is a player with strong personal ability, and he is older than Gordon, the contract is relatively small, the later operation, as for Pol is a young player with great potential, his height arm span, excellent athleticism, worthy of rocket training, in addition, the rocket team also got a second-round draft pick, can help the team rebuild in the future.
For the Nuggets, the goal of the new season is to impact the championship, so it needs a veteran with stronger combat power, and Gordon is very much in line with the needs of the Nuggets, Gordon is a player with good offensive and defensive skills, he can both break through the inside line to score on the offensive end, and can also shoot three points on the outside line, with an average of 18+ points per game, the defensive end Gordon is physically strong, dares to fight, can defend from the first position to the third position, and Gordon also has a wealth of playoff experience.
Gordon's arrival can give the Nuggets a great boost at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, if this deal is reached, the Nuggets can form a five-man starter of Murray, Gordon, Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon and Jokic, it can be said that this starting lineup is the league's first-class position, there are almost no shortcomings to follow, and the bench end also has Campazzo, Monte Morris, Rivers Jr., Jeff Green and Jamakao Green and other tough players, this 10-man rotation lineup is fully equipped to win the championship.
