The Denver Nuggets have agreed to acquire the least favorable of the first round picks owned by the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2024, as well as the 37th pick in the 2023 draft and a 2024 second round pick for a protected 2029 first round pick.
The Thunder previously owned as many as four first round picks in 2024 between their own, as well as from the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Clippers and Utah Jazz.
Oklahoma City is balancing out when they will have future first round picks, while the Nuggets are looking to maximize their title window and have additional opportunities for lower cost contributors.
Oklahoma City still owns Denver’s top-five protected 2027 first-round pick from the JaMychal Green trade last year.
