Jokic had 34 points and 19 rebounds; Jamal Murray scored 35 points; Unfortunately, the two were isolated on the offensive end. With the competition in the Western Conference more intense than in the past few seasons, many fans and media also called on Denver Nuggets to trade and strengthen the team.

Cleveland Cavaliers Trade Out: Donovan Mitchell
Denver Nuggets trade: Michael Porter Jr., Christian Braun, Payton Watson, 2030 first round draft pick
The Denver Nuggets intercepted the Los Angeles Lakers, won the All Star shooting guard, and built the best three giants in the NBA
Donovan Mitchell is currently the top two shooting guards in the NBA in active service. If he was not injured in the second round of the playoffs, he could lead the Cleveland Cavaliers to go further in the playoffs.
Donovan Mitchell partnered Jokic and Jamal Murray to form a top three team, which has greatly improved the strength of Denver. Donovan Mitchell has shown excellent scoring ability in his two seasons with Cleveland Cavaliers.
Moreover, Donovan Mitchell's offensive stability and efficiency are also higher than Jamal Murray's. Considering that Pop's contract is about to expire, he may also leave. The Nuggets' victory over Donovan Mitchell was also a wise choice.
However, the most important thing about this transaction is to disgust the Los Angeles Lakers. The hatred between the Lakers and Denver Nuggets has been full in recent seasons. Denver Nuggets can obtain Donovan Mitchell that the Lakers want through trade, which is disgusting to the Lakers.
