4 Cheap Trade Ideas For The Nuggets To Improve Their 3-Point Shooting

The Denver Nuggets are exploring perimeter depth options following an offseason shift in their roster construction. After losing perimeter shooter Tim Hardaway Jr. to the Miami Heat in free agency and signing DeMar DeRozan, the team faces potential floor-spacing needs to complement Nikola Jokic. Denver lost in the first round of the playoffs 4-2 against the Minnesota Timberwolves despite having posted a league-best 39.6% three-point mark during the regular season.

To balance limited financial flexibility, any potential acquisitions would require matched salaries. A proposed trade target includes Milwaukee Bucks guard AJ Green, who shot 41.9% from deep on 7.1 attempts per game last season. A suggested trade framework involves Denver sending Zeke Nnaji, Julian Strawther, and a 2031 second-round pick to Milwaukee for Green, who is under a four-year, $45 million contract.
