Denver Nuggets Trades For Zeke Nnaji


Listen Later

Cyro Asseo breaks down the Denver Nuggets’ evolving trade landscape as the front office evaluates Zeke Nnaji + Hunter Tyson as a ~$10.4M trade shell ahead of the deadline. With Denver sitting just ~$500K from the tax line, this is not a panic move—it’s about cap hygiene, long-term flexibility, and CBA-proofing an already elite roster.


In this video, Asseo walks through Denver’s current rotation and injury pressure, explains why Nnaji’s on-court value still matters despite contract inefficiency, and outlines clear trade goals: drop below the tax, preserve playoff-level rotation quality, and prioritize shorter money or functional depth. He then evaluates realistic, team-by-team trade concepts involving the Wizards, Mavericks, Jazz, Bulls, Hornets, and Nets—highlighting why Brooklyn and Chicago present the cleanest blend of savings and on-court value.


This is a margin move for a contender built on efficiency, not a teardown. Catch the full breakdown and stay locked in for more Denver Nuggets and NBA trade deadline coverage.
