I would still start Braun at the SG spot, just because Green is a better 3-point shooter than him, and that would space the floor for Westbrook and the bench unit, but Green would play more minutes than Braun in the closing minutes or in clutch time.
I didn't add/include picks, but Nuggets would definitely have to send some to Hornets. (atleast couple of seconds, or even a first round)
Starting Lineup:
Jamal Murray, Chrisitan Braun, Michael Porter Jr. , Aaron Gordon, Nikola Jokic,
Bench:
Russell Westbrook, Julian Strawther, Josh Green, Peyton Watson, Dario Saric,
Injured: DaRon Holmes III ( when he comes back from torn Achilles, he will be competing with Saric and Watson for Backup PF/C spot.)
End of the bench/out of rotation
Hunter Tyson, DeAndre Jordan
Two-Way contracts:
Trey Alexander and P.J. Hall
Nuggets will still have + 2 vet minimum FA spots (maybe someone like Gordon Hayward or Doug McDermott)
Give me your opinion guys, should the Nuggets do this trade?
