3. Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets have been one of the top teams in the Western Conference for years now but have been unable to take that next step toward a title. They are hoping that he will change this season, but the loss of Jamal Murray is going to impact the team severely.
Murray suffered a knee injury that kept him out of the postseason last year, and he likely misses time in the upcoming season.
The Denver Nuggets recently signed Aaron Gordon to a lucrative contract extension after acquiring him at the NBA trade deadline.
The Nuggets went on a run in the second half of the season to finish third in the West and are looking to stay in that spot. This is where a veteran like Wesley Matthews coming off the bench could benefit the team in need of depth.
