The Nuggets should be trying to trade the pick for a veteran player. The Nuggets need veterans under 30, not more projects. They already have a core of young players to develop: Jokic, Murray, Mudiay, Hernangomez, Beasley, and Harris. The Lakers want another lottery pick, so offer them the 13th pick (and maybe a future 2nd rounder) for Jordan Clarkson.
