The Nuggets could use a point guard and Jason Kidd wants to be traded.

It’s nice, playing talk-show GM, but talking about NBA trades and making them happen are two distinctly different things. The truth is, the only deal the Nuggets are likely to make before the trade deadline is one that would ship J.R. Smith out of town. And any player the Nuggets would get in return probably wouldn’t impact their season.
