Denver Nuggets' trade calls about draft pick heating up

The Nuggets have already taken — and made — their fair share of trade phone calls concerning their draft pick weeks ahead of the NBA draft.

"We've had a lot of conversations about a ton of different things — picks, trades. We're pretty active right now," Nuggets general manager Tim Connelly said.

The Nuggets own the 11th selection in the June 26 draft. It's their highest draft position since 2003, when they took Carmelo Anthony at No. 3.
