2013 Denver Nuggets Season Preview

As most people who follow the NBA know, the Denver Nuggets no longer have Carmelo Anthony, who was the heart and soul of there team a few years ago.  However, this offseason they may have made the most underrated move by acquiring Andre Iguodala from the Philadelphia 76ers.  Iguodala is coming off helping Team USA capture a gold medal as the defensive stopper.  He is such a good player because of the versatility that he brings to the table along with his unselfish attitude.  The Nuggets should be a very good team with the many pieces that they have and the fact that so many of the players that they have are very unselfish.  The starting lineup should look like this:

  PG.  Ty Lawson


  SG.  Andre Iguodala

  SF.  Danilo Gallinari

  PF.  Kenneth Faried

  C.  Javale Mcgee

Sports Illustrated has the Denver Nuggets projected to finish 4th in the Western Conference  just behind the San Antonio Spurs.  I would say that that is where I would have them as well, mainly because of the youth that they have, along with some new players that have to get used to playing with each other.  I think that this team has a chance to go deep into the playoffs, provided that they are able to stay healthy for the majority of the year.
