Kinda putting together rumors/hopes of different trades into one deal. I've seen a seperate idea of MPJ/Nnaji/pick swap for Bogdanovic/Hunter, and also have read that Washington is willing to move big Val for 2nd round picks basically. So this is hoping that they'd take a young guy under team control with upside (a recent 1st round pick) instead of just 2nd round picks.

For the Nuggets, they address the issues of spreading out some of the top heavy money contracts, hopefully a little better defense in the starting 5, and rounding out the bench a little better (wouldn't really have a backup 4 after this trade, but Holmes coming back from injury would fill that for next year and beyond). But it would still be thin for the rest of this year for sure. But I'd trade that to finally have a backup 5 that is reliable behind Jokic.

Nuggets new rotation would look like:

Murray/Westbrook Bogdanovic/Braun (maybe even flip those 2) Hunter/Watson Gordon/? Jokic/Val
