#1 Denver Nuggets

The Denver Nuggets impressed during the 2018-19 regular season, although the team was eliminated by the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference semifinals. Nevertheless, Denver's young roster will benefit from their playoff run, and Nikola Jokic enters the season among the favorites to be named Most Valuable Player.

The addition of Jerami Grant from the Oklahoma City Thunder was also one of the summer's most underrated moves, and if the Nuggets can pull off a move for Iguodala, they would be right up there with the Lakers and Clippers.

The 35-year-old previously spent time in Denver during the 2012-13 season and a prominent role from the bench could suit the veteran as his career nears the end. The Nuggets could complete a deal by sending Will Barton and a future draft pick to Memphis, and the addition of Iguodala would give Denver's playoff aspirations a huge boost.
