Denver is having a great off season. Trading Michael Porter, Jr. to the Nets for Cam Johnson, which freed up cap space was only the beginning. Denver also traded the unplayable Dario Saric for Jonas Valanciunas, who should be a great backup for Jokic. The Nuggets also signed free agents Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway, Jr. The result is that a Denver Nuggets team that lacked depth last season and still took the OKC Thunder to Game 7 in the second round have become one of the deepest teams in the NBA. The Nuggets are at least two deep at every position and they still have an open roster spot if they choose to sign another player.

Also, Daron Holmes, Denver's first round draft choice in 2023, who missed the entire 2024-25 season, will be returning. Holmes will add depth at the 4 and 5 spots.
