Denver Nuggets plan blockbuster trade and coaching upgrade to keep Nikola Jokić

Denver Nuggets management is reportedly exploring a major roster overhaul that could include a three‑team trade with the Boston Celtics. The proposed deal would send guard Jamal Murray (referred to as Jamal Marej) to Boston in exchange for All‑Star wing Jaylen Brown and forward Sam Hauser, with the addition of wing Sam Hauser and guard Jaylen Brown to Denver’s lineup.

The franchise also intends to bolster its coaching staff by hiring an experienced former NBA head coach as an associate assistant, while retaining head coach David Adelman. Owner Josh Krenke has emphasized that Nikola Jokić is untouchable, but the team aims to surround the Serbian MVP with defensive‑oriented players to improve championship prospects.
