Denver

The Nuggets will be in need of another guard since Jamal Murray went down with a torn ACL. Acquiring Malcolm Brogdon would elevate the Nuggets roster furthermore. The Nuggets would have two guards capable of creating for themselves, playing off-ball, shoot consistently, playmake, and defend at a decent rate. On his last year in Milwaukee, Brogdon was playing predominantly as a spot-up option off of Giannis and he nailed 42% of his three-pointers. Then, the next year on the Pacers it went down to 32%, due to the fact that only 20% of his 3-point attempts were wide open. So it shows that he is an excellent off-ball shooter. Pairing him with Nikola Jokic would indeed allow him to have more open shots, due to him playing more off-ball. If a Brogdon and Sabonis P&R was effective and hard to stop, then a Brogdon and Nikola Jokic P&R would be absolutely deadly! Brogdon also eases the pressure off of Jamal Murray. Murray and Brogdon would be able to trade playmaking duties with ease. I actually believe Brogdon and Murray would be an absolutely deadly combo-guard duo. The Nuggets also acquire Justin Holiday to improve their guard depth. He rarely misses games and could bring great perimeter defense for the Nuggets. The Nuggets also sign James Ennis, who is a volume three-point shooter and can bring legit defense to the Nuggets bench.

Jamal Murray - Malcolm Brogdon - Michael Porter Jr - Aaron Gordon - Nikola Jokic.

Pacers

The Pacers reportedly put both Sabonis and Brogdon on the trading block at the deadline, and next year, they could actually trade both Sabonis and Brogdon and build around Turner and LeVert. In this trade, the Pacers get a quality player, on an expiring contract in Will Barton. A 25 year-old point guard in Monte Morris, whom can replace Brogdon at the guard spot. Along with a young PF in Zeke, so the Pacers can feel confident in trading Sabonis and having a young PF to replace him. As well as an unprotected first-round pick + protected first-round pick.
