It’s that time of year again, time for stressing for your favorite players and the moves your team makes, it’s the NBA Trade Deadline.

Alright, well, it’s not quite here yet, we still have a little bit of time until the deadline on the 7th of February, but it’s time to start talking about it. The Denver Nuggets are off to a fantastic start, a team that had no idea it had this well of a start in them as they sit at the second spot in the West. We’re already halfway through the season and they look like they are primed to make a deep run in the playoffs.

The thing is, every team has some kind of question or concern going into the later days of the season. That could be injuries, disciplinary actions, suspensions, or trades. I will be focusing on the trading part in this work, as I take a look at 10 different trade ideas for the Denver Nuggets.

Now I must preface this with a fact, only two players on the entire Nuggets roster should truly be untouchable: Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. These guys are the fire of the squad, the main reason the Nuggets are where they are today, and they should get much better.

One more thing: a majority of these trades will be the Nuggets giving up more players than the other team. The roster is overloaded right now, it wouldn’t be the worst idea.

With that being said, let’s go!
