After Milwaukee went and got Bledsoe, Nuggets should make a play and get Brogdon since he is now regulated from the Bench. he is too good to be coming off the bench. He would be the perfect PG for our roster. Smart PG, that has size and plays defense.. Can pass but also shoot at a good rate. Would be a good player for Mudiay to play behind....
What kind of trade could get it done? Not sure
We have plenty of expendable pieces: D Arthur, W Chandler, K Faried, W Barton, T Lydon or T Lyles (pick one)
(Yes, I know Chandler is our own true SF but he is horrible and will probably opt out at the end of the year anyway. Yes i know Barton has played a big 6th man roll but he is a FA and i dont see us giving him the 12-15mil he will want a year. We have M Beasley that can fill his roll for way cheaper)
Trade
Nuggets trade: Barton
Bucks trade: Brogdon and Vaughn (who is then waived)
They get more scoring to help Greek Freak and we get a PG that can run the show along with Jokic. Need to take some pressure off of Jokic seems he needs to score, pass, rebound every time. I really think its a fair trade.

Next trade we hit up Brooklyn. They have a couple of SFs that could help us since Chandler is doing nothing at the spot. They need front court help and we can help by taking a contract from them.
Nuggets trade: Chandler, Arthur, Lydon
Nets trade: Carroll, Hollis-Jefferson
Maybe we need to throw in a pick but we are taking Carroll's contract from them that lasts another year. Chandler and Arthur can opt out and i think they will to get longer deals as it will be their last one.
Hollis-Jefferson was on the trade block last year has improved his play this year but I dont think he is in their future plans. Carroll can come back to Denver after visiting a few other teams the past few years.
This clears up a log jam at the PF spot in Denver. Lydon i believe was a "FK, Toronto took OG right before us who do we take now" and threw a dart at the board and selected Lydon who is a lesser version of Lyles. SMH They botched draft day...

We would still have other parts we could move at the deadline or draft day
(Harris if they believe Murray has a higher ceiling. Faried but is good as a 20 min a night player for energy and rebounds)
Our roster shapes up :
PG: Brogdon / Mudiay / Morris*
SG: Harris / Murray / Beasley (murray is a SG, not a full time PG)
SF: Hollis-Jefferson / Carroll / Craig*
PF: Millsap / Faried / Hernangomez / Lyles*
C: Jokic / Plumlee
