Like the Cleveland Cavaliers, the Denver Nuggets are also on the lookout for a potential wing reinforcement this season.
Per Sam Amick of The Athletic, the Nuggets are searching for an additional wing presence before this season’s trade deadline which they will appoint to come off the bench.
“With the trade deadline nearing on Feb. 9, league sources say the Nuggets will be on the lookout for wing help to come off their bench. They want to get longer, more athletic, versatile, defensive-minded and bigger in that department. The Gordon trade with Orlando in March 2021 continues to pay big dividends, and adding another player with that sort of skill set would be the dream scenario here.”
Denver features a great plethora of wingmen that are being bannered by Aaron Gordon. Their key acquisitions from last season, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Bruce Brown are also doing their spectacular jobs at their perimeter.
As one of the highly touted league powers this season, the Nuggets’ intent to gain an additional small forward can only be beneficial to their potential title run. With rival teams boasting star power from their backcourt to frontcourt, highly versatile wings to deploy will surely make wonders for them.
With reigning back-to-back MVP Nikola Jokic leading them, capitalizing their targets and modifying that roster depth are a must in order to not waste that championship window.
