The Denver Nuggets have been steadily improving as the year goes on. They are one of the deepest teams in the entire NBA and they are starting to get healthy once again. While being able to play 10-11 players a game would help ease the burden and stress on a team’s high-level players, it also isn’t the best way to win games (unless you’re the 73-9 Golden State Warriors from a year ago). As I say everytime that I get to the Nuggets slide, they need to make a trade. Now is the time for them to push all of their chips into the middle of the table and get a superstar. If they are willing to make the right pieces available there are some big names potentially on the market that could help this team take the next step. Nikola Jokic is finally back to looking like the player that sneakily challenged Karl-Anthony Towns in the Rookie of the Year race a season ago. His passing ability helps unlock the best out of the remaining players on the floor with him. Jokic, Emmanuel Mudiay, and Gary Harris have quickly developed a rapport on the floor together.. 12-16. .
