15. Denver Nuggets

Key Additions: Paul Millsap 

Key Subtractions: Danilo Gallinari 

The Denver Nuggets needed a star heading into the summer, and they’ve emerged with one. Paul Millsap signed with Denver via free agency and will be a huge piece for the Nuggets as they attempt to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2012-13 season.

As the team’s young core continues to develop, the Nuggets are a team that is certainly on the rise. It’ going to be interesting to see how this teams looks by the end of the year. Something tells me that they’re going to look a lot better than they do in November.
