DEN - LAL

[Denver Nuggets]

Denver trades: #3 pick in 2018 GURU draft.

Los Angeles trades: #7 pick in 2018 GURU draft and Taurean Prince (2.1, 2.8, 3.9).

Denver accepts. Perhaps we are higher on taurean than we should, but we view him as a fantastic core building block for the team's future. It would be ideal to have our pick of the draftees remaining following ayton and doncic, but Denver there is a tier of players that it believes will still be left at 7 from which to choose from while still offering the upside one would hope to receive from a high lottery pick.

[Los Angeles Lakers]

I accept, its no surprise the Lakers need to get a franchise Center and I believe with either Bagley or Jackson. The Lakers are looking to get back into the playoffs next year and this is gonna help very much. Prince is a good player but I definitely think a player sitting at 3rd will be much better and will have more of a impact.

[Dallas Mavericks]

That's a high price to pay for Taurean Prince, but I think falling in the draft is not so bad for Denver given the amount of big men in the 3-6 range.

I approve.

[Minnesota Timberwolves]

I approve. My (not very well informed yet) assessment of the draft is more or less congruent with Denver’s. I think Taurean Prince is an average player with above average opportunity for at least the next year, possible two, which should allow plenty of time for Nuggets to turn him into something else more valuable down the road.

I approve. I also really like this trade for both parties. Good trading.
