The Nuggets are all in.
They were just one game away from the WCF in 2025, but might not have to wait long to go back.
They've been very active since free agency started, making some major trades and signing great talent.
On Tuesday, they made another great trade, making their roster even more dangerous.

Who did Denver trade for?
ESPN's Shams Charania announced Tuesday that the Nuggets were trading Dario Saric to the Kings for Jonas Valanciunas.
This is an underrated pickup for the Nuggets, as they only had to trade away Saric.
It's a win-now move because the Nuggets traded away a cheaper, expiring contract than Valanciunas'.
Valanciunas has two years left on his contract, where he's making around $10 million per season.

Saric has just one year left (worth around $5.4 million) and is a free agent next summer.
Denver's additions of Cam Johnson, Bruce Brown and Jonas Valanciunas just added a nice layer of depth to the team, as they look to compete with the likes of the Thunder, who just came off a championship season.
NBA writer Keith Smith did note that it's important to recognize that not all the trades happening are official, so be on the lookout for the possibility of trades being meshed together in multi-team deals over the next week or so.
