The Thunder, meanwhile, will receive a protected 2029 first-round as part of this deal.
Wojnarowski explained why Denver’s front office felt the need to make this trade.
“The Nuggets are trying to maximize their championship window and deal this picks deal gives them some additional chances at low-cost contracts and trade tools. For OKC, another first-round pick deep into the future,” Wojnarowski said.
