Near the top of Kevin Pelton's list is the February 2011 deal in which the Nuggets received a package of draft picks and players, including Danilo Gallinari, for Carmelo Anthony.
The Cleveland Cavaliers engaged in serious three-way trade discussions leading up to the NBA draft on a deal that would have brought them Paul George from the Indiana Pacers and landed Kevin Love with the Denver Nuggets, sources told ESPN.
League sources: Cavs, Pacers and Nuggets have discussed a three-way deal that would land Paul George in Cleveland and Kevin Love in Denver
Reporting with @chrisbhaynes: League sources say Cleveland continues to pursue a Paul George trade, with Denver as the potential third team
A wrongful death lawsuit was filed Thursday against former NBA player Marcus Camby over the drowning of his 9-year-old autistic nephew in a pond on Camby's Houston-area property last Thanksgiving.
According to stats-only projections, Monte Morris was the third-best player in the draft. Plus, the Nuggets added value by selecting Tyler Lydon and trading for Trey Lyles.

More skill than athleticism, Trey Lyles might not be the best fit for Denver. The Nuggets must be hurting a bit that OG Anunoby went one spot ahead of Tyler Lydon, who they landed at No. 24.
The Nuggets selected 6-8 Slovenia F Vlatko Cancar with the No. 49 pick in Thursday's draft. In 18.4 minutes per game this season with Serbian club Mega Bamex, the 20-year-old averaged 5.1 points and 3.8 rebounds.
From bow ties to shoes to jackets to the linings inside the jackets, rank the new NBA draft picks based on their unique wardrobe choices.
The Denver Nuggets selected Iowa State guard Monte Morris with the No. 51 overall pick of the 2017 NBA draft on Thursday night.
Tyler Lydon goes to the Jazz (reportedly traded to Nuggets). This is the 6th straight year that Syracuse had a player taken in the first round.
Tyler Lydon is an interesting potential frontcourt partner for Nikola Jokic. Not much athleticism but Lydon would help protect the rim.
The Nuggets will receive Syracuse forward Tyler Lydon, who was the No. 24 overall pick of the 2017 NBA draft on Thursday night.
Tyler Lydon can block shots but is a very low usage player which means he projects as the 27th best player in the draft according to ESPN's analytic draft model.
With the No. 24 overall pick, the Jazz selected Tyler Lydon (F, Syracuse) and will flip him (along with Trey Lyles) to the Nuggets for No. 13 pick Donovan Mitchell. This is the sixth consecutive year a Syracuse player has been picked in the first round.
With two first-round draft picks and one player on the move, Kevin Pelton grades the trade.
Donovan Mitchell goes to the Nuggets, but is reportedly headed to the Jazz in trade.
Based on my trade chart, a fair Jazz-Nuggets trade would value Trey Lyles alone like the 26th pick in the draft, which seems reasonable.
With the No. 13 overall pick, the Nuggets selected Donovan Mitchell (G, Louisville), but this pick is headed to Utah in exchange for Trey Lyles and the No. 24 overall pick. The last time the Jazz picked 13th overall, they landed Karl Malone in 1985.
ESPN Sources: Phoenix, Denver discussed trade that would feature Eric Bledsoe in exchange for Emmanuel Mudiay and No. 13 pick. Talks fluid.
The Nuggets have discussed two separate draft-day trade possibilities Thursday to acquire Eric Bledoe from the Suns or Jimmy Butler from the Bulls in deals that would include draft picks, sources say.
Denver has spoken to the Bulls about Jimmy Butler, source told ESPN. Would include multiple young players, not Nikola Jokic, and picks.
The Denver Nuggets have reportedly tendered a qualifying offer to Mason Plumlee, which makes him a restricted free agent.
OG Anunoby has tremendous upside as an elite 3-and-D type prospect. There has been a lot of buzz about Anunoby to the Nuggets.
