The Denver Nuggets is one of the teams that underachieved for the past few seasons. After being left by their presumed franchise player Carmelo Anthony in 2011, they rebuild their franchise without their main man.
Finally they had a breakout year during the 2012-13 NBA season when they placed third in the Western Conference division.
But the team was unfortunately eliminated by the Golden State Warriors in the first round of the playoffs. Since then, they struggle a lot and were not able to proceed in the playoffs.
Now, it seems they are in the rebuilding mode again but it appears they have to revamp their roster.
According to YIBADA English, the Nuggets is now looking to trade their energy guy Kenneth Faried to the Boston Celtics. Trade scenario suggests that the Nuggets send Faried together with forward Danilo Gallinari to the Celtics in exchange for Jaylen Brown, Kelly Olynyk, Amir Johnson and Jonas Jerebko.
The report also disclosed that the addition of Faried and Gallinari will be a big boost to the Celtics frontline and will make them a strong contender in the process.
It is a desire to see Faried's skill and intensity playing alongside Al Horford. As for Gallinari, he will be a big help for Celtics perimeter shooting bringing in his 41 percent shooting from the field and 36.4 percent of those comes from the three-point zone.
On the other hand, the Nuggets will acquire young talents in Brown and Olynyk that they can mold as their future players. As for Johnson, he will be a mentor to the younger frontcourt of the team and the Nuggets can use Johnson's expiring contract to free some cap space next year.
However, aside from Faried and Gallinari, the Celtics is also interested to acquire Nuggets center Jusuf Nurkic according to Sportsrageous.
The 22-year-old Bosnian native is rumored to be traded to Boston in exchange for the Celtics first round picks. Although Nurkic hasn't shown productive numbers last season, he has the potential to become one the Boston could nurture.
The report also said that the Celtics is one of the busiest team during the offseason making them regulars in trade rumors. Superstars like Kevin Love, Paul George, Jimmy Butler, DeMarcus Cousins, and Blake Griffin was rumored to be on Boston wish-list to acquire however none of this rumors happened.
Nevertheless, this rumor is still speculative and none of the teams involved have issued a comment on this.
Will the Nuggets trade Faried, Gallinari, and Nurkic to the Celtics? Will the Boston Celtics make a move to make it happen?
