The Denver Nuggets and Washington Wizards are two teams that are struggling on the early going of the NBA regular season. Now, reports are floating that both teams are figuring out a possible NBA trade deal with each other and it seems that John Wall name was dragged on this rumored deal.
Wall, who's being linked to be traded to the Los Angeles Lakers and Philadelphia 76ers just recently, is again in the spotlight of rumors swirling around the league today. And the Wizards is considering to break the tandem of Wall and Bradley Beal.
According to YIBADA English, a proposed deal is said to be in the works right now between the Denver Nuggets and Washington Wizards. Trade scenario is suggesting that the Wizards will send John Wall to the Nuggets in exchange for Emmanuel Mudiay, Jusuf Nurkic, and Gary Harris.
The report also says that since Beal signed a max deal during the offseason, Wall has been mentioned to trade rumors making him the high-value target in the trade market. Though the Wizards are still hoping to make a good showing at the start of the season but it seems that recent development is not looking good.
And with the Nuggets needing a superstar/go-to-guy to be a contender again and that answer could be John Wall. With Denver also rumored to be chasing DeMarcus Cousins this time, a reunion of sorts could happen in the Mile High City. Both Wall and Cousins are college teammates in Kentucky and putting them together is giving the Nuggets better chances in the next round as per stated in the report.
As noted by Sportsrageous, instead of Gary Harris, the Nuggets might replace it with a 2017 draft picks to entice the Wizards. And as per checking with ESPN Trade Machine, the deal pass the NBA trade rules and salary cap restrictions set by the league making it a legal trade in the process.
Both teams will also get what they needed with this deal. The Nuggets will surely improve on the offensive end with Wall leading the team while the Wizards will get young talents in Mudiay and Nurkic that can use for their rebuilding process as per stated in the report.
Will Washington Wizards trade John Wall to the Denver Nuggets for Emmanuel Mudiay and others? Stay tuned for the latest updates and NBA trade rumors.
