After the Denver Nuggets took the OKC Thunder to seven games in their semifinals showdown this past postseason, many were already convinced they were the biggest threat to the NBA Champions' quest for a repeat in 2025-26.
Considering the slew of savvy moves and roster additions they made this summer, at this point, such a stance should now be viewed as virtually inarguable, as they have already upgraded several areas of weakness within their rotation with the acquisitions of Cameron Johnson, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Jonas Valanciunas.
However, based on recently surfaced images, some are speculating that this Nuggets club could become far more menacing than it currently is in the not-too-distant future.
