Nuggets Listed as Favorites to Land All-Defensive Wing Behind Lakers, Mavericks
Nuggets Listed as Favorites to Land All-Defensive Wing Behind Lakers, Mavericks originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Denver Nuggets, behind Nikola Jokic, are expected to compete in the Western Conference for the next several years despite the lack of All-Star talent around him. Advertisement Aaron Gordon, Jamal Murray, Christian Braun, and Michael Porter Jr. are all quality players, although none of them are a reliable true second option on a championship team, especially on the defensive end of the floor. Jokic has the uncanny ability to make anyone around him suddenly become one of the better scorers in the league, although his impact on the defensive end is simply not on par with his offensive skillset. As a result, the Nuggets are expected to try and make an offseason move to bolster their defense.

Downing-Imagn Images Denver has very limited cap space and doesn't boast the best in the way of trade assets, although they have the fifth-best odds to land Herb Jones in a trade this summer, according to offshore sportsbook Bovada. Advertisement Other teams in the mix include the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers, who have better trade packages available to land the All-Defensive forward. The Nuggets' payroll is very top-heavy, and they don't exactly boast expiring contracts that would be appealing to the rebuilding New Orleans Pelicans. They could send a package centered around Porter Jr., although the Pelicans would then need to match his salary. Jones averaged 11 points on 41.8 percent shooting from deep in 2023-24, his last healthy season. He played only 20 games last season as injuries plagued New Orleans, although he is generally seen as the very best perimeter defender in the NBA. Advertisement Unless Denver can shed some salary in a move before adding Jones, expect the Lakers and Mavericks, as well as the Spurs and Rockets, to remain the favorites.

Blockbuster NBA Trade Idea Has Hawks Swap Trae Young for Three Former Lottery Picks
Blockbuster NBA Trade Idea Has Hawks Swap Trae Young for Three Former Lottery Picks originally appeared on Athlon Sports. There could be a change for the Atlanta Hawks this offseason after missing the NBA playoffs for the second straight year. The Hawks haven't been competitive, despite having Trae Young, the league's leader in assists per game. With the lack of a competent roster, it could be time for Atlanta to trade Young. Advertisement Last season, the Hawks had a 40-42 record and lost in the Play-In Tournament. The organization hasn't been in the conversation of being a playoff team for a while. Bleacher Report's Andy Bailey suggested that it's time for the Hawks to consider trading the All-Star guard. Given that the front office hasn't been able to give Young enough help to contend, Bailey suggested that a fresh start with a different franchise could be the next step. Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young is guarded by Orlando Magic center Wendell Carter Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images According to Bailey, the team that would benefit from Young would be the Orlando Magic. In the postseason, it became clear that the Magic need a point guard who's capable of being an elite floor general. Advertisement The blockbuster trade idea would send Young to the Magic in exchange for Jalen Suggs, Anthony Black, Jett Howard and a top-10-protected 2027 first-round pick. Acquiring the three former lottery picks could be the perfect fit for what Atlanta is trying to do. "The Hawks have never been able to figure out how to surround him with a workable defense that can cover for his shortcomings on that end," Bailey argued. "And they're brewing their own little positionless philosophy that could benefit from Jalen Suggs' defense and a few more on-ball opportunities for the likes of Jalen Johnson, Dyson Daniels and Zaccharie Risacher." The Hawks have a promising young core in Zaccharie Risacher and Dyson Daniels. Young is the only player who doesn't fit the Hawks' timetable. With the Hawks, Young has developed into a four-time All-Star and one of the best facilitators in the NBA. He has averaged 25.3 points, 3.5 rebounds and 9.8 assists in seven seasons.

Tyrese Haliburton Is On Cusp of Passing Reggie Miller
Tyrese Haliburton Is On Cusp of Passing Reggie Miller originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Indiana Pacers, by roaring back to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the NBA Finals, not only showed that the Thunder are human but also demonstrated that they are a very real threat. Advertisement Entering the series, despite the Pacers' track record, the Thunder were seen as an unbeatable team. Now trailing Indiana 0-1 with a loss on their home court, the winds have shifted. With 0.3 seconds left, Tyrese Haliburton hit his fifth game-winning bucket of the postseason, rising over Cason Wallace to steal the game. Haliburton made his second All-NBA team this season, but his playoff clutch shooting has gotten him more attention than any regular-season success. The Pacers have never won the NBA Finals before, and if they manage to bring home a banner, Haliburton might be Indiana's greatest player ever. "Does Tyrese Halliburton pass Reggie Miller for greatest Pacer?" asked Georges Niang. "You get a ring, it puts you in a different category." Advertisement Niang's FanDuel co-hosts, Lou Williams, Chandler Parsons, and Michelle Beadle, all seemed to agree. Right now, Reggie Miller is easily the greatest Pacer ever. He spent 18 seasons with the Pacers, made five All-Star Games, and is one of the best shooters in league history. However, he only made the Finals once, falling to the Los Angeles Lakers. It's not his fault that his prime matched up with Michael Jordan's, although Haliburton seems to be on the cusp of doing what Miller never did. "All of this is about winning," added Williams. It's hard to imagine Miller disagreeing with that. Check out the All Pacers homepage for more news, analysis, and must-read articles.
