Pope should help Denver's outside shooting. He shot 39% from outside the arc last season for the Wizards. The Nuggets will be Smith's 13 NBA team. He could become the most traveled player in NBA history if he plays a game with the team.
He averaged 8 points and 5 assists last season for Washington.
Barton spent 8 years with Denver never averaging less than 11 points per game while Morris spent all 5 of his years in the NBA with Denver. He started 74 games this past season averaging 12 points and 4 assists per game.
