MPJ proved he’s not enough to be a top 4 player on this nuggets team.. with Julian Strawther and Christian Braun outplaying him this playoffs , so why not break him up into 2 rotational pieces.

Blazers get: MPJ + filler. Blazers see MPJ as a solid piece that just happened to be hurt.. willing to take his contract and have him & Deni paired together.

Nuggets get: Grant, RW3. Nuggets do this for the much needed rim protector backup C in Rob Will, and solid 3/4th option any given night in Jerami Grant(who’s on the decline but he’s still very solid).

Who says no?
