After the Nuggets signed veteran center DeMarcus Cousins to a 10-day contract on Friday, head coach Michael Malone hinted that Cousins might stick beyond those 10 days, Harrison Wind of DNVR Sports tweets. “I anticipate it going well,” Malone said. Cousins didn’t play in the loss to the Grizzlies on Friday.
We have more on the Nuggets:
- The Nuggets are looking for a bigger wing on the trade market, according to Mike Singer of the Denver Post. Ideally, they’d like to find a 3-and-D player who won’t cost an exorbitant amount. To that aim, Orlando, Indiana, Portland and Sacramento are potential trade partners, Singer adds.
- Bones Hyland, Zeke Nnaji and Davon Reed have received significant playing time recently due to injuries but only Hyland is likely to remain in the rotation when the team gets healthier, Singer opines in the same mailbag post. That’s due to his ability to ignite and create offense on the second unit.
- ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski said this week there’s growing optimism Michael Porter Jr. will play again this season. Wind posted a video on Twitter showing the forward, who underwent back surgery in early December, warming up prior to Friday’s game. Wind noted that the warmup looked similar to the one Porter typically does before actually playing.
Why did Lakers like Grant so much?
The Lakers offered 2027 First pick, plus Horton-Tucker and Nunn.
Why didn’t the Lakers trade for Barton and Hyland?
LeBron does not need 2027 pick at all.
Who gives a rats rear end about China LeBron and the Lakers? Especially on an article that has nothing to do with those over paid losers.
Man, surprised Bryn Forbes got so much playing time last night. I know he doesn’t know the plays yet but he lost them the game.
The Grizzlies are the real deal. A convincing win without Bane and Anderson.
Memphis is legit and capable of going all the way.
Nugget’s want a 3&D wing for cheap? How unique.
Big wings are at a premium, and thus don’t come cheap. If DEN can’t afford one, it might be due to all the capital they have tied up in guards, smaller wings, and every imaginable type of PF.
They don’t mean they can’t afford one financially. They mean they don’t have the trade capital.
Nuggets have loads of players out but when fit
1. Murray. Morris
2. Forbes. Campazzo/Rivers/Hyland
3. MPJ. Barton
4. Gordon. Green. Green
5. Jokic. Cousins. Zeke
What they need to do other than have an eye at the buyout market is look for a defensive minded wing.
I’d be looking to try get Josh Richardson, Torrey Craig, KCP or Avery Bradley. All cheap and easy deals
Surely you could move JaMychal Green and Campazoo for KCP
KCP just had a bust up with Harrell, is on a two year deal, is behind Beal in the rotation, is an old head. Green is a solid back up big and Campazoo helps give you depth at PG which you have struggle with
If Murray & specially MPJ can come back strong before the playoff… DEN will be the team no one wants to face in the West!
