Ujiri has ties to the Nuggets so that should get us in the conversation. I don't really even care about #26 this year. '31 is prize because Joker is probably aged out by then. I know I said it a few posts ago, but I'd probably want no protections on that pick or for it to convey to a future unprotected first. Would Denver do that? No idea, but taking on $125M isn't a small ask.
Denver doesn't have 2031 pick to trade as they traded their 2030 and 2032 picks already. Even if they would have that pick, I think it would be crazy bad GM-ing to give up an unprotected pick in a pure salary dump.
Denver can only trade their 2026 pick (#26), 2026 SRP from Atlanta (#49) and will be able to trade their 2033 SRP.
