16. Denver Nuggets (26-23)

As the Nuggets continue to wait for the return of Paul Millsap – it seems like he was injured years ago – they have to decide if they’re going to be active at the trade deadline. Is this the year that they finally move Kenneth Faried? Will they add a point guard to help out Jamal Murray?

The Nuggets have some really nice pieces and assets that they could move at the trade deadline. However, it actually might be better for them to stand pat.

Perhaps the Nuggets should let this team continue to develop. On the other hand, making a return to the playoffs would be pretty sweet.
