Proposed blockbuster Nuggets trade sees Denver land $175 million two-time MVP, Finals MVP to create unstoppable duo with Nikola Jokic

The Denver Nuggets are currently sitting pretty near the top of the Western Conference, in third place with a record of 33-17. However, they may have the ability to create an unstoppable dynasty at this year’s trade deadline, if they so choose. 

According to Fansided’s Matt Moore, the Nuggets should pick up the phone and call the Milwaukee Bucks, to see if they can make the blockbuster of the decade and trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo. It would cost Denver an arm and a leg, but a duo of Nikola Jokic and Antetokounmpo might be the scariest the NBA’s seen in a while.

“Hear me out…The Bucks would be in a position to move Gordon or Johnson to a contender in a multi-team deal that nets them the draft capital the Nuggets don’t have beyond one first-rounder far in the future…Aaron Gordon is basically a folk hero in Denver. Moving him would be brutal. But if you have the chance to put two MVPs next to one another, with five between Giannis and Jokic, you have to consider it. The combination would be clunky, awkward, and awesome, with so much size and physicality that teams would be overwhelmed…The better point here might be to showcase that no matter how good you are, even a team that won a title that currently has the No.3 seed in the West, you still have to make the call about Giannis Antetokounmpo. That’s how great he is,” Moore wrote. 

So far this season, Antetokounmpo is averaging 28 points, 10 rebounds, and 5.6 assists in 29 minutes per game. Combine that with Jokic’s near 30-point triple-double average, and Jamal Murray’s 25.5 points and 7.5 assists, and the Nuggets have the scariest Big Three since the 2016-17 Golden State Warriors.

However, as Moore mentioned, Denver would lose a bunch of key role players in Gordon, Johnson, and Braun, but in the grand scheme of things, the Big Three they would get would more than make up for it.

Hopefully, Denver listens to this idea, and gets on the phone immediately to try and combine the two two-time MVPs on the same team.
