Spurs guard Bryn Forbes is considered to be available on the trade market, league sources tell Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.
According to Scotto, multiple teams have expressed some interest in Forbes, including the Nuggets.
Forbes, 28, has value as a floor-spacer, having hit 41.7% of his three-point attempts this season in San Antonio, right in line with his 41.3% career rate. He spent last season with the Bucks, knocking down a career-high 45.2% of his threes and averaging 10.0 PPG in 70 regular season games (19.3 MPG) for the eventual NBA champions.
Forbes probably makes more sense as a complementary piece on a playoff team rather than on a rebuilding team like the Spurs. As Scotto observes, moving him could clear a path for rookie Joshua Primo to get more playing time in the second half.
The Nuggets have lost PJ Dozier to a season-ending injury and have been playing without Jamal Murray since last spring, so Forbes would be a good fit at the two guard. However, Denver won’t be the only team in play for the veteran sharpshooter. Forbes $4.5MM expiring contract will make him attainable for just about any club.
Just to remind the good fans of the Denver Nuggets and their fine Organization aka Basketball Team
Ben Simmons is available!!!!!
Don’t have the pieces to meet the Sixers’ ridiculous demands. Jokic and Murray are too good, and Porter Jr is hurt (so’s Murray, for that matter).
Well maybe some draft choices, would be nice lol
I know it does not work that way, but still
Nuggets also don’t have any tradeable draft picks (not that they’d be worth much if they did, given how late they’d be).
Ben Simmons, Korkmaz, Thybulle, Joe, Milton, and a 1st and 1 2nd for Murray, McBuckets, Forbes, and Johnson. Young and a Sixer 2nd to OKC.
Sixers would look nice for a few years.
What rearrange the whole team?
Would the Nuggets buy into that?
Not a huge rearrange. They would probably need to dump Greens 10m though for a cheaper contract. Murray’s Defense would allow them to play Maxey alongside him tho.
Embiid Drummond
Tobias Niang
McBuckets Johnson
Maxey Forbes
Murray Curry
