The Denver Nuggets have been viewed as a contender for a few seasons now, and that’s been proven true by the 2023 NBA Finals victory over the Miami Heat. This past season, the Nuggets crossed paths with the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference Semifinals. With the Thunder having a more complete team, the Nuggets decided to make some moves this offseason, acquiring Cam Johnson, Jonas Valanciunas, Bruce Brown, and Tim Hardaway Jr. Denver also returns key members from their core, including Aaron Gordon.
