While the Nuggets may not pursue a trade immediately, they could look to make a move closer to the trade deadline to bolster their roster.

Recent reports suggest that Vasilije Micic, who performed well for the Charlotte Hornets last season (averaging 11 points on 44% shooting) and had a strong showing for Serbia in the Olympics, could be a potential target for Denver. As the Nuggets search for ways to deepen their backcourt, Micic might be a player they consider.

The Denver Nuggets’ Pressing Question for the New Season

With the departure of KCP, one of the biggest questions facing the Nuggets is who will step into the vacant shooting guard role. Though KCP wasn’t always in the spotlight, his contributions were integral to the team’s success, and his absence will be felt.

To remain a championship contender, the Nuggets need someone to effectively fill this role. Christian Braun is currently listed as the starting shooting guard, with Julian Strawther as his backup. However, while Braun has more experience, expecting him to handle the starting role for an entire season on a championship-caliber team might be a stretch.

This uncertainty makes it likely that the Nuggets will explore the trade market, especially if the shooting guard position becomes a weak spot. Acquiring Micic could be an option, though it would require some financial maneuvering. While a deal is possible, it’s far from certain. This report indicates that the Nuggets are open to making moves before the trade deadline, but finding the right fit—both financially and on the court—remains a challenge
