The Denver Nuggets have the seventh-best odds to win the title in the 2025-26 season and the fifth-best amongst Western Conference teams. ~Sports Illustrated
Just a couple years ago Denver looked ready to win several championships. Are they in position to be a real contender this year?
As long as Jokic is with them, the chance is there. But they need to strengthen their roster IMHO.
The current that they have isn't that consistent at all. They have no longer Russ AFAIK and they need one athletic guy. They can't built around MPJ.
I even cheered them to have a back to back championship but every year is a challenge to all teams. But at least, they've got their ring already.
Definitely but I think they need a good catch and shoot shooters especially in 3 point and mid range area (aside from Murray), when Jokic has the ball the defense magnetize in him and considering his IQ in passing and offense it will be really easy to win games. I definitely agree that they need to strengthen their roster too and probably improved Aaron Gordon shooting ability just like he did the recent playoffs. By the way, MPJ isn't on Nuggets anymore lol he's been traded to Nets for Cam Johnson.
