With Nikola Jokic in need of help, the Denver Nuggets decided to part ways with one of the key members of their rotation.

Denver is trading forward JaMychal Green and a protected 2027 first-round pick to Oklahoma City for the No. 30 pick in this month’s NBA Draft and two future second-round picks as ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski twitted.

Nuggets now have the 21st and 30th in this draft and Thunder has the 2nd, 12th, and 34th pick.

Per Woj, Green is expected to exercise his $8.2M contract for 2022-2023 and this deal gives the Nuggets flexibility to use a $6.4M tax mid-level exception or an $8.2M trade exception in the offseason. On the contrary, the Thunder have $31M in cap space to absorb Green’s contract.
