It was a busy trade deadline around the NBA, but for the Denver Nuggets, their options were extremely limited. The Nuggets ultimately salary dumped Hunter Tyson to the Brooklyn Nets and swapped second round picks, a minor deal that saved the Nuggets a bit of cash and ultimately helped them duck under the luxury tax. Denver still isn’t done tinkering with their roster, but if Spencer Jones is the only addition, it will be an underwhelming deadline for the Nuggets.

On the latest Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn reacts to the Denver Nuggets NBA Trade Deadline news in which Hunter Tyson was traded to the Brooklyn Nets for…basically nothing. Ryan discusses the move, why it happened, Buyout candidates, and Peyton Watson sustaining a Grade 2 hamstring strain.
