The Denver Nuggets haven’t won the Northwest Division since 2013, which so happens to be the last time they made the playoffs.

The Denver Nuggets play inside the Northwest Division which is arguably to toughest division in the NBA. The division consists of four playoff teams and the Mile High boys.

While its deemed one of the toughest divisions, the Nuggets were only three games away from the division crown.

Following a crazy off-season, it’s safe to say that the Northwest Division is completely up for grabs this year. Neither of the four divisional opponents necessarily added fire power to their teams.

Some could argue the subtraction of Carmelo Anthony will help Oklahoma City become the sole powerhouse, but I still think it’s a toss up.

After looking at the recent acquisitions and trades by the Nuggets, do you think they could win the Northwest Division this upcoming year?
