The Denver Nuggets own the No. 11 pick in the June 26 NBA draft and are now looking to trade the pick. According to The Denver Post, the Nuggets want to use the pick to acquire a veteran player that could help the team win now. Is Kevin Love on the Nuggets radar as they look to move out of their current position?
According to The Denver Post's Mark Kiszla, he believe the Nuggets were going to make such a move back in March.
Now, all Connelly has to do is acquire the talent that can return Denver to the playoffs. He has got to think big and take risks. No player on the Nuggets should be considered untouchable. And no deal, whether it's a trade for the top pick in this year's draft or disgruntled Minnesota star Kevin Love, should be considered too implausible to pursue.
The Nuggets have shown interest in acquiring veteran talent in recent seasons in an attempt to get back into contention. The Nuggets are no stranger to big time trades as they traded Carmelo Anthony to the New York Knicks for a haul of players and picks that has left the current Knicks in limbo.
If the Nuggets are to make a splash with the No. 11 pick they will have to offer a haul much larger than the the one the Boston Celtics are offering as they hold the much more attractive No. 6 pick. No potential trades have emerged from Nugget camp, but, in the offseason of Kevin Love, it would be vastly surprising if the Nuggets didn't attempt to acquire the Minnesota big man.
