On May 19, the NBA playoffs continued, with the Thunder defeating the Nuggets 125-93, eliminating their opponents 4-3 in total, and advancing to the Western Conference Finals. NBA reporter Brett Siegel then posted a post, analyzing the Nuggets' offseason situation and suggesting that the Nuggets trade Michael Porter Jr., and also proposed a three-party deal involving the Spurs and the Bulls.
The reporter wrote: "It's hard to imagine where the Denver Nuggets will go next. The Nuggets currently have only one first-round pick in 2031 that can be traded, and they may be close to becoming the second-large team in the offseason. Najib's contract ($8.1 million contract) has become a negative asset, and both Braun and Watson will enter the final year of their rookie contract. Should we trade Michael Porter Jr. ($38.3 million) now? But what will the market demand for a playoff player of his style? Gordon ($22.8 million) The contract is one of the most cost-effective products in the team, and it is hard to imagine that the team will trade him. The Denver Nuggets are facing a difficult period: the lineup needs to fill loopholes everywhere, and there are also vacancies in the management and coach seat (looking for head coach). "
The reporter also envisioned a three-party trading plan. The Nuggets got Kobe White, Hult, Harrison Barnes, the Spurs got Porter Jr., the Bulls got Kelden Johnson, Westbrook, and Najib, this year's No. 38 and the second round pick of the Timberwolves in 2028 (from the Spurs), and the Nuggets' first round pick in 2031.
