Its has been pretty clear for a while that Nikola Jokic needs some help if the Denver Nuggets are going to contend in the Western Conference this season.

The trade rumors involving Zach LaVine, Jimmy Butler, Cam Johnson and Jordan Poole have all surfaced in the last 24 hours.

On today's NBA Rundown I explore if any of these are truly options that can be worked in the Nuggets salary cap.

Reaction to the Milwaukee Bucks destruction of the OKC Thunder in the NBA Cup Final. Giannis Antetokounmpo had a monster night with a triple-double - 26 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists in the game. Damian Lillard chipped in 23 as they beat the Thunder 97-81.

For Doc Rivers it has to be a sweet win after all the pain at the start of the season.

What’s Next For Warriors After Dennis Schroder Trade?

Clearly the OKC Thunder master plan is working. On today's NBA Rundown we dive into Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jalen Williams and how the rest of the young Thunder have turned into legit contenders for a NBA title this year.

The OKC Thunder average the most steals per game ever by any team in NBA history at 12.2 takeaways per game. They also have the best defensive rating in the NBA holding teams to just 104 points per night.

Shams and the team at ESPN are reporting that the Miami Heat are now listening to trade offers for Jimmy Butler. The usual suspects related to a Butler trade are the Houston Rockets, Golden State Warriors, and Dallas Mavericks. But beyond those teams, there are several other potential landing spots for the 35-year old Butler.

Other teams that could use Butler this year and beyond are: * Los Angeles Lakers* Denver Nuggets * Indiana Pacers * Atlanta Hawks

Houston Rockets Head Coach Ime Udoka is poised for NBA revenge as he has his team positioned a legit contender in the Western Conference.

Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irvings Dallas Mavericks are for real and here's why? On the NBA Rundown we dive into the Mavs and why they have won 11 out of 12 games and have now moved into 2nd place in the Western Conference.

Clearly SGA "Shai Gilgeous-Alexander" desrves to be in the MVP conversation. The Oklahoma City Thunder already have 2.5 game lead in the highly competitive Western Conference.

Just simply comparing his stats with Jokic, Giannis and Tatum makes no sense because they are big men who will always have more rebounds per game, etc.

For SGA to actually win the MVP, he will need voters to weigh in heavily his teams overall performance this year.
