The Nuggets suffered from a scarcity of depth all all through the 2024-25 season. However they appear to have remedied this downside heading into the 2025-26 marketing campaign. They traded Michael Porter Jr. to the Brooklyn Nets for Cam Johnson, and with the cash they saved up, they managed to usher in Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. Securing Jonas Valanciunas’ companies would solely be the cherry on high.
Jokic now has the deepest roster round him but, and contemplating how they pushed the eventual champion Oklahoma Metropolis Thunder to the brink, the Nuggets should be thought to be one of the vital official contending groups heading into subsequent season.
