The Denver Nuggets have made significant roster changes this offseason, focusing on building around their core of Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Aaron Gordon. Initially, they surprised many by trading Michael Porter Jr. and a 2032 first-round pick to the Brooklyn Nets for Cameron Johnson, marking a shift in their trading strategy.

Additionally, the Nuggets secured free agents Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. and completed a trade with the Sacramento Kings to acquire Jonas Valanciunas in exchange for Dario Saric. With these moves, it's evident the Nuggets are positioning themselves for a championship run.

Coaching changes are also in play, as David Adelman takes over as head coach, following his interim role last season. The recent addition of Jared Dudley as his top assistant adds experienced leadership to the coaching staff, enhancing their pursuit of success.
