Nuggets Land Former Pistons, Knicks Sharpshooting Guard as Busy Offseason Continues

Denver then pulled off a trade with the Sacramento Kings as they sent Dario Saric to Sacramento in exchange for Jonas Valanciunas to upgrade their frontcourt depth behind superstar center Nikola Jokic.

With these moves, it is clear that the Nuggets are all-in on returning to championship form next season and they made another move on Tuesday afternoon.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Nuggets signed Tim Hardaway Jr. to a one-year contract on Tuesday.

By making this move, the Nuggets add a sharpshooting guard to their roster who will likely come off the bench next season.

Last season with the Detroit Pistons, the 33-year-old guard averaged 11.0 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game while shooting 40.6% from the field and 36.8% from three-point range.

Hardaway Jr. will give the Nuggets another reliable scorer off the bench as Denver continues to make moves to upgrade their depth, something they struggled with last season in their second unit.

On the other side, this is a massive loss for the Pistons as they continue to lose their free agents to other teams.

For the Nuggets, they are likely not done making moves as they continue to build around their core and chase another championship next season with a deeper roster than in seasons prior.
