The Denver Nuggets have been surprisingly proactive this offseason, making significant roster changes as they aim for another championship run with superstar Nikola Jokic at the helm. They traded Michael Porter Jr. and a future draft pick to the Brooklyn Nets for Cameron Johnson, alongside signing Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. in free agency. Additionally, Denver acquired Jonas Valanciunas from the Sacramento Kings, trading Dario Saric in the process. Notably, the Nuggets are now among the top contenders to sign Damian Lillard, giving them a potent offensive weapon next to Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Aaron Gordon, despite Lillard's recent injury woes.

The odds of Lillard joining the Nuggets currently sit at +400, making them the third favorites behind the Miami Heat and Portland Trail Blazers. This offseason is crucial for the Nuggets as they look to bolster their championship aspirations. While Lillard's injury could sway their decision, the potential combination of him with Jokic and Murray could create a dynamic offensive trio that would be hard to contend with in the NBA.
