Denver can swing a trade similar to last year's between the San Antonio Spurs and Minnesota Timberwolves, in which San Antonio sent the No. 8 pick to Minnesota for a lightly protected first-round swap six years down the road and an unprotected swap in seven.
Denver was last in the league in 3-point attempts per game during the regular season (31.9), but that number has jumped to 38.5 3PA in the four contests against OKC. In their first-round series versus the LA Clippers, the Nuggets fired up an average of just 29.0 3PA across seven games.
The Thunder could have landed a third pick, which was the Philadelphia 76ers' first-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. It was top-six protected, and it landed at pick No. 3. The first overall pick went to the Dallas Mavericks, who will likely select Duke's Cooper Flagg.
