Blockbuster Alert: Nuggets Predicted to Land Superstar in Shocking 3-Team Trade with Suns and Hawks
The Denver Nuggets might be gearing up for another title run and if this new 3-team trade scenario becomes reality, Nikola Jokic could soon have a superstar sidekick.
According to a bold mock trade proposal circulating NBA circles, the Nuggets are predicted to pull off a stunning deal involving the Phoenix Suns and Atlanta Hawks. The potential trade sees Denver adding a high-caliber star to pair with Jokic, shifting the Western Conference power balance once again.
The Proposed 3-Team Deal:
- Denver Nuggets receive: Dejounte Murray (from Hawks)
- Phoenix Suns receive: Michael Porter Jr. (from Nuggets), Zeke Nnaji (from Nuggets)
- Atlanta Hawks receive: Bradley Beal (from Suns), draft compensation from Denver
This blockbuster scenario is designed to benefit all three franchises while reshaping their rosters:
Why It Works for Denver:
Nikola Jokic has proven he can carry the Nuggets deep into the playoffs, but with Jamal Murray’s injury issues and inconsistent support from the wings, adding a two-way star like Dejounte Murray could be the missing piece. Murray brings elite perimeter defense, playmaking, and scoring, all of which would ease Jokic’s load and give Denver a new edge in tight playoff games.
Phoenix Clears Space and Adds Depth:
The Suns take a gamble by shipping out Bradley Beal’s massive contract and grabbing Michael Porter Jr., a younger and more versatile scorer. With Zeke Nnaji added for frontcourt depth, Phoenix gains flexibility and a chance to reshape their rotation around Devin Booker and Kevin Durant.
Atlanta Gets a Scoring Boost:
The Hawks move on from the Murray-Trae Young experiment and land Bradley Beal, a proven scorer who could thrive in a fresh system. If Trae Young stays, the Beal-Young combo could be a dynamic offensive threat. If the Hawks decide to rebuild, Beal’s name still carries significant trade value.
Final Thoughts:
While this is still a mock trade, NBA fans know that shocking deals often start as rumors. If the Nuggets can pull off this move and land Dejounte Murray, Jokic might finally get the kind of help that turns Denver into a true dynasty contender.
