After making a big splash in NBA free agency by landing Paul Millsap, the Denver Nuggets have been relatively silent since gaining their star.
The Denver Nuggets are in an interesting situation right now. They currently have a crowded roster, but have solidified a star in Paul Millsap to play for them for the next couple of years. This means Denver will most likely need to make some trades in order to free up room on the current roster.

The Nuggets have stayed silent ever since the Millsap signing while key role players are being snatched up from the market at a fast pace. Not to mention, Danilo Gallinari is no longer with the team, so looking for a new wing may not hurt this franchise either.
However, with all of this in mind, do not be surprised if Nuggets President of Basketball Operations Tim Connelly stays put for the rest of the off season and rolls with what the team currently possesses. There is a major front court issue with how crowded it is right now with the likes of Kenneth Faried, Darrell Arthur and newly added pieces in Trey Lyles and of course Paul Millsap. This signals that a trade sometime in the later future involving Kenneth Faried is bound to occur.
The back court in of itself is also a bit crowded as Denver still has Will Barton competing with Gary Harris, Jamal Murray, Malik Beasley, Emmanuel Mudiay and Jameer Nelson for valuable minutes.
However, as of right now, Connelly has not reportedly done anything yet to move around pieces to free up space and possibly bring in another small forward. With this being said, do not be surprised if Denver is already done making moves this off season.

It is not glamorous, but then again, landing Paul Millsap was still a huge plus for the Nuggets and moves can always be made during the season.
