The Denver Nuggets will come into the new season with renewed hope and aspirations. After a blowout loss in Game Seven of the Western Conference Semifinals to the Oklahoma City Thunder, many expected changes to the roster. That’s exactly what happened. The organization traded Michael Porter Jr. to the Brooklyn Nets in a move that shook up the lineup. What did this accomplish? It brought in Cam Johnson, who should be a seamless fit in the Nuggets’ system. Porter Jr.’s departure also cleared valuable cap space, allowing the team to re-sign fan favorite Bruce Brown. In addition, Denver added veterans Tim Hardaway Jr. and Jonas Valančiūnas. As a result, the Nuggets now boast the makings of a legitimate second unit for the first time since their 2023 title run.
