What to be thankful for: Paul Millsap

The Denver Nuggets should be thankful for Paul Millsap choosing them during the summer. Denver had been searching for a “star” to get them to the next level in the competitive Western Conference.

Now, with Millsap in the fold, they could be looking at finally making a return to the NBA Playoffs. They’re currently in the top 8 of the conference and haven’t even hit their stride this season.

The Nuggets likely have enough to make the playoffs right now, but could make a trade at some point over the next few weeks/months to solidify that stance.
