Forward Joffrey Lauvergne was acquired by the Oklahoma City Thunder, who sent two draft picks to the Denver Nuggets.

Lauvergne appeared in 83 games for the Nuggets including 16 starts, averaging 6.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 15.8 minutes per game. He was acquired in a draft-night trade in 2013 with the Minnesota Timberwolves, who selected the France native with the 55th overall pick. Lauvergne made his NBA debut late in the 2014-15 season.
