Gary Harris
Gary Harris has been the name most connected to trades for the Denver Nuggets for several years. As the rest of the roster is improving, Gary Harris has regressed. He has dealt with injuries but stagnation is the biggest issue that has ailed him. He is making $19.1 million this year and $20.5 million next season. He has appeared in one game since February started. Denver will likely have to incentivize a team to take him on.
Luckily for the Nuggets, they have plenty to do that with. The Nuggets have all of their future first-round picks (save for 2023) and intriguing young players like Bol Bol, RJ Hampton and PJ Dozier. For the right player, they could take a swing to try to get them over the hump in the Western Conference.
Victor Oladipo has always felt like a reasonable target because he would be able to be a third or fourth option, taking the pressure off of his recovery. He would also add some sort of defensive mindset to a team sorely lacking in it. Depending on what Houston wants in return for their pending free agent, this could be one of the easier negotiations at the deadline.
