DENVER (AP) — A person with knowledge of the deal says the Denver Nuggets have acquired JaVale McGee from the Cleveland Cavaliers for Isaiah Hartenstein and two second-round picks — in 2023 and 2027. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because the trade had not been announced. It’s the second time McGee has been acquired by Denver in a trade-deadline deal. He will back up All-Star center Nikola Jokic in Denver. He is also a three-time NBA champion with Golden State and Los Angeles and will bring plenty of playoff experience to his new team.
