At the beginning of every season, the goal for each team is to hold up the Larry O’Brien trophy when it is all said and done. Some teams are closer than others, but the aspirations remain the same. The Nuggets have been in clear championship contention over the last three seasons, but injuries derailed the practical prospect of bringing home that trophy. With a healthy roster last year, Denver appeared to be a top-five team in the league with a real shot at a championship. There were multiple teams in the West talented enough to win the conference, but if Murray stayed healthy, the Nuggets might have had their best shot at a Finals appearance.
With a potential Murray and Porter Jr. return, could the Nuggets be a championship contender this season?
