According to Mike Singer of The Denver Post, a new suitor has emerged in the multi-team pursuit of Harrison Barnes - the Denver Nuggets. Denver's interest in Barnes should come as no surprise, as their offseason loss of Jerami Grant, who's currently averaging more than 23 points per game for the Detroit Pistons, hurt far more than many imagined, and Michael Malone has not been able to find a wing to replace that level of production on his current roster.

Harrison Barnes and Boston Celtics have been intertwined for what feels like months now as we approach the March 25th trade deadline. Brian Scalabrine, the color announcer for the Celtics has talked about Barnes being the guy for Ainge. He mentioned that the Jerami Grant and Nikola Vucevic rumors are all smoke. This time of year is filled with such smoke and purposeful leaks from front offices, and Monte McNair has kept a close hand.

According to Sam Amick of the Athletic, a couple of NBA contenders have shown interest in a few of Sacramento's players, with neither the teams nor the players involved coming as any massive surprise. Harrison Barnes is "known to be on Boston's radar", while the Sixers may pursue one or both of starting shooting guard Buddy Hield and recently benched forward Nemnaja Bjelica.
