After another season watching eight Western Conference teams compete (okay, well, seven teams) in the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year, the team had a checklist of tasks they wanted to accomplish during the offseason.
First? Get an All-Star power forward to play alongside Nikola Jokic. With the acquisition of Paul Millsap via free agency, they got to check that off their list.
Second? Add depth in the draft. By trading for Trey Lyles and drafting Tyler Lydon and Monte Morris, they were able to add young talent that they can develop over the next few years.
