Ranking the Denver Nuggets assets at the trade deadline

At 22-32 and currently sitting at the 11th spot in the Western Conference, the Nuggets would typically be your classic trade deadline seller. Except for the fact that this year, the same conference which saw the Oklahoma City Thunder miss the playoffs with 45 wins last year, would welcome the 27-28 Houston Rockets into the postseason as its 8th-seed if the season ended today.

The influx of teams within reach of the 8th-seed in the West, puts the Nuggets in a precarious situation sitting five games out the the playoffs. Should they reach and try to max out this current team and sneak into the “second season,” or stand pat and either play the year out, continue to preach development and possibly entertain trade offers on their chest of assets?
