If the season were to end today, the Denver Nuggets would be in the NBA Playoffs.

That’s right, they hold the sixth seed in the Western Conference. With this being said, the Nuggets have been a sort of inconsistent team throughout the season. They’ve beaten teams like the Warriors in Oracle Arena, and then will lose to the Los Angeles Lakers by a large margin. It’s the type of play that leads to one night of bliss, and then a night of despair next.

One of the highlights of the NBA season can be the trade deadline, this year with it falling on February 8th in 2018. While the Nuggets didn’t do a ton last year with trading, only really moving Jusuf Nurkic for Mason Plumlee, they could be a team to watch out for in the trading room this year. While there is about a month and a half before the deadline, it’s interesting to preview it a bit now.

That’s what I intend to do here today, I will have three categories: Nuggets players most likely to get moved, position to target, and dream player for the Nuggets.

So, without wasting anymore time, let’s get started.
