3. Denver Nuggets
The Denver Nuggets have been one of the top teams in the Western Conference for years now but have been unable to take that next step toward a title. They are hoping that he will change this season, but the loss of Jamal Murray is going to impact the team severely.
Murray suffered a knee injury that kept him out of the postseason last year, and he likely misses time in the upcoming season.
The Nuggets recently signed Aaron Gordon to a lucrative contract extension after acquiring him at the trade deadline.
The Nuggets went on a run in the second half of the season to finish third in the West and are looking to stay in that spot. This is where a veteran like Wesley Matthews coming off the bench could benefit the team in need of depth.

Nikola Jokic is the reigning MVP and will continue to lead the team. Without Murray, the Denver Nuggets could look to make up for it in different ways, and this is where some under-the-radar free agents could come into play.
