The Nuggets need to get on the phone with Cleveland and say: "Only Jokic and Millsap are off the trade block. Everybody else on the roster is fair game." While I like Harris and Murray, neither are going to become superstars, so they are expendable. Kyrie Irving is a superstar now, is only 25, and Denver would have him under control for 2 seasons. It's worth trying. What if he comes here, meshes with Jokic and Millsap, the Nuggets become a competitive playoff team, and he wants to stay? (stranger things have happened). What do they have to lose? If Irving plans on leaving after the 2nd year, trade at the deadline him for a package of players and picks. It's not as if the Nuggets are some great team right now. I like the Millsap signing, but without an elite wing player or high end PG, making the playoffs in the Western Conference is a tough mountain to climb.
