| NBA Power Rankings 2012: Denver Nuggets Receive… | |
Read More: George Karl (H – DEN), Denver Nuggets Are the Denver Nuggets a sleeper pick in the NBA this season? If they are, it appears that Sports Illustrated’s Britt Robson is already feeling the Nuggets to be the surprise team of the season. In his preseason NBA power rankings, Robson places the Nuggets as his No. 5 team:
Robson is definitely more upbeat about the Nuggets than other power rankings writers. Others see the Nuggets struggling to create new chemistry after losing Wilson Chandler, Kenyon Martin and J.R. Smith to China. However, retaining Nene and Arron Afflalo has far more impact than losing those other three since they weren’t going to return anyway (Chandler, though, could have been an exception). Predictably, the Miami Heat, the Dallas Mavericks and the Chicago Bulls take up three of the top four spots. The surprise, though, comes in at No. 2. The Oklahoma City Thunder take that spot. They could be the new powerhouse team in the NBA. For more on the Denver Nuggets, visit Denver Stiffs. Keep up with the rest of the league by visit SB Nation NBA. What do you guys think about this.

| NBA Rumors 2011: Denver Nuggets Showing Interest… | |
Read More: Earl Clark (F – ORL), Denver Nuggets While Dwight Howard and Chris Paul hold up free agency moves for some teams, the Denver Nuggets hope Earl Clark will forget all about that and sign with the team. The Nuggets have offered a deal to Clark, though no contract details are known, reports Alex Kennedy of Hoops World. Clark would like to re-sign with the Orlando Magic, but the Dwight Howard situation has put a hold on that. Clark, the 14th overall pick of the 2009 NBA Draft, was traded from the Phoenix Suns to the magic in Dec. 2010 as part of the Vince Carter deal. The Nuggets could use the 6-foot-10 forward in the front court with the losses of Kenyon Martin and the possible departure of Nene. He seems like a decent role player right now.
