This trade is a success, once RECENTLY SIGNED RESTRICTIONS expire. It's a huge risk, huge reward for both teams. Nuggets give up 3 starters, a prospect and an unprotected 1st. Mavericks give up their franchise player.

Mavericks get Jamal Murray, Michael Porter Jr, Christian Braun, 2024 1st round pick DaRon Holmes II (out this season with injury but huge talent) and the Nuggets 2031 UNPROTECTED 1st Round pick.

Nuggets get Luka, Clay and a couple roll players for salary match reasons (these two players could be changed around some)

Mavericks new lineup:

PG: Kyrie Irving

SG: Jamal Murray

SF: Michael Porter Jr.

PF: PJ Washington

C : Daniel Gafford

6th man: Christian Braun

Nuggets new lineup:

PG: Luka Donic

SG: Clay Thompson

SF: Payton Watson

PF: Aaron Gordon

C : Nikola Jokic

6th man: Russell Westbrook
