Denver Nuggets

Be aggressive or not at the trade deadline? 

Right now, the Denver Nuggets are simply trying to survive, and remain in the thick of the Western Conference playoff picture, as Paul Millsap continues to rehab. He’s expected to return in about a month, give or take a few weeks, and the team needs him.

But, in the meantime, the Nuggets need to decide whether or not to be active at the NBA trade deadline. If they wanted, the Nuggets could probably swing a deal for some help. They have the young assets to get a deal done.

However, should they? Or should they stand pat and hope that once Millsap returns it’ll be enough to finally make the playoffs?
