As noted on the latest episode of the HoopsHype podcast, the Nuggets dangled Harris and Barton ahead of the trade deadline in an attempt to acquire Holiday. With Michael Porter Jr. not for sale after showing flashes of star potential, Denver’s best chance at acquiring another high-level starter is to dangle Harris and Barton.
On Jrue Holiday trade scenarios. Scotto: The Nuggets, I heard back towards the trade deadline, made a run to try to acquire him with guys like Will Barton and Gary Harris being dangled out there.

Mike Singer: My gut tells me the Nuggets leave no stone unturned this offseason. There was chatter at the deadline around Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if those discussions get revisited. Holiday has one year left on his contract before he can become a free agent, so the Nuggets would need to assess whether they think he could be a long-term play or if they’re comfortable going for it next season. I think Gary Harris and/or Will Barton could absolutely be used in a trade to land a player like that, along with at least one or two first-round picks. The Nuggets have No. 22 (via Houston) this upcoming draft.
Given Gary Harris’ struggles the last two seasons and Will Barton’s struggle last postseason, do you see the Nuggets trading one or both of them in order to upgrade the shooting guard spot? — Ryan J, Denver. Mike Singer: I think moving on from Harris and/or Barton is a real possibility this offseason. If I had to guess, I’d think Harris might be the more likely one. Two seasons ago, Harris was a borderline All-Star. Injuries hampered his availability and his confidence has been shaky since then. One could argue he’d benefit from a change of scenery. It would be a gut-wrenching move for Tim Connelly, since Harris is one of the staples of the locker room.
