Nuggets finally get rid of Zeke Nnaji's contract while also giving up a hefty price of their upcoming first rounder which is projected to be a late round pick. As the Jazz add another big man to replace the absence of Kessler this season, the trade off their backup PG in Isaiah Collier to open more minutes for Walter Clayton Jr. The Nuggets add Collier to bolster their depth also giving them a primariy passer and ball handler when Murray is on the bench.

This move also opens up for the Nuggets to make another move to set them up for whatever plans they have for next season whether it is trading off Cam Johnson to give Peyton Watson a bigger role and a extension or something else.
