The Denver Nuggets made an aggressive offer to the Indiana Pacers at the deadline for Paul George.

The Nuggets recruited a third team in the talks but were hesitant to part with Jamal Murray for George. Murray has been one of the most promising rookies of the 2016 draft class.

Denver was also reportedly informed that George is most interested in either re-signing with the Pacers or joining the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018.

The Nuggets made Nikola Jokic completely untouchable.

Denver was similarly aggressive in landing a star during the 2016 offseason.

The Denver Nuggets have acquired Roy Hibbert from the Milwaukee Bucks for a heavily protected second round pick.

The move will get the Nuggets closer to the salary cap floor.

The Denver Nuggets conveyed a "monster" offer to the Indiana Pacers for Paul George but the talks gained no traction.

The Nuggets were told that it would be highly unlikely for George to commit there long-term.

George prefers to either remain with the Pacers or sign with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2018. 

Sam Amick of the USA Today reports that the message being sent around the NBA is George is "hell-bent" on going to the Lakers in 2018 unless the Pacers are competing for a title.

Zach Lowe of ESPN reported that the Nuggets brought in a third team in their offer for George but were hesitant to part with Jamal Murray in the deal.

The Denver Nuggets would like to make a major move but they probably don't have the assets as Nikola Jokic is completely untouchable.

"One player that everyone wants is Nikola Jokic," said Wojnarowski. "They're not trading him for anybody. Anybody! They think they have a future All-Star, a franchise player. They're building their team around him. He loves Denver. They have a guy who wants to be there."

The Nuggets will probably make any moves with more of a long-term view.

Jokic was a second round pick in 2014 and is averaging 16.3 points, 8.9 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game this season for the Nuggets.

The Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder continue to pursue Wilson Chandler.

Chandler requested a trade from the Denver Nuggets in early February.

Chandler is signed through 2019, though he has a player option in which he can opt for free agency in 2018.

Chandler is averaging 15.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 30.9 minutes per game this season.

Update: Amick later reported the Thunder are no longer interested in Chandler.

The Denver Nuggets are seeking a lottery-protected first round pick and swap rights on a second pick for Danilo Gallinari and wilson Chandler.

Denver continues to compete for the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference while also juggling their long-term assets as they build around Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.

Gallinari will be a free agent this offseason.

The Los Angeles Clippers and Oklahoma City Thunder both have interest in trading for Wilson Chandler of the Denver Nuggets.

Both the Clippers and Thunder have limited assets to offer though they'd like to be buyers at the deadline.

The Thunder had interest previously in trading for Rudy Gay before his season-ending injury.

Chandler is a versatile veteran player that can play either forward position.

There is a growing belief the Denver Nuggets are prepared trade Danilo Gallinari before the deadline.

Gallinari will bypass the final season of his current contract to become a free agent.

The Toronto Raptors and Los Angeles Clippers are among the teams monitoring Gallinari's availability. 

The Portland Trail Blazers have acquired Jusuf Nurkic and a 2017 first round pick in exchange for Mason Plumlee.

Portland owns three picks in the talent-rich 2017 NBA draft, including its own, Cleveland’s and Memphis’ via the deal with Denver. 

Nurkic gives the Blazers a talented offensive player who has more upside on defense.

Plumlee is a more established center whose ability to pass the ball is an ideal complement.

Portland has $130.7 million in guaranteed contracts for the 2017-18 season. Plumlee will be a restricted free agent in the offseason.

The Denver Nuggets will sign Johnny O'Bryant to a second 10-day contract.

O'Bryant's first 10-day deal with the Nuggets expired on Sunday.

O'Bryant has averaged 3.5 points and 1.5 rebounds in 8.0 minutes per game over two appearances since joining the Nuggets.

O'Bryant played the previous two seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, appearing in 100 games.
