Season Predictions
Regular Season: Denver has been the prime example of not being as good as the sum of their parts this season, as despite their abundance of quality players, they have sunk towards the bottom of the tough Western Conference and well out of playoff contention. The Nuggets have traded away SG/SF Arron Afflalo (POR), C Timofey Mozgov (CLE), C Javale McGee (waived by PHI), and PG/SG Nate Robinson (bought out by BOS) in an effort to simply tank away the season. That strategy has been working for the most part, but with big money committed to PG Ty Lawson and PF Kenneth Faried, it is unclear what the path of this team will be in the future. Right now, however, it’s about losses and ping-pong balls.
Projected Record: 29-53, 13th in East
