The Denver Nuggets are proving that they are in the best position to defend their championship this season. Led by reigning Finals MVP Nikola Jokic and supported by a strong core, the Denver team is ready to win again. Of course, the team's lineup has already shown its talented side. However, it is clear that some strategic moves can push this team to even greater heights. With the approach of the 2025 NBA trade deadline, the Nuggets have the opportunity to address their bench depth issues and perfect their rotation. By adding a sharpshooting wing and an experienced center, Denver can significantly increase their chances of reclaiming the title. Here are two trades the Nuggets should consider before the deadline. So far, the 2024-25 season has been successful for the Denver Nuggets. They currently have a record of 25 wins and 16 losses. Nikola Jokic continues to assert himself as one of the most dominant players in the league. That said, even for the most experienced observers, it remains a mystery how long his peak will last. Jokic is undoubtedly the best player in Nuggets history. That being said, he will turn 30 on February 19, just weeks after the NBA trade deadline. However, there are some challenges for Denver's management.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have been a remarkable phenomenon in the NBA this year, with an astonishing performance that has left many in awe. Despite not making any significant additions last summer, they have managed to unleash an incredible energy this season. With the season now halfway through, their record is truly impressive, leaving them far ahead of the competition. Currently, the Cavaliers boast a record of 33 wins and 4 losses, with a win rate of 89%, which is almost on par with the Golden State Warriors' historic 73 wins and 9 losses in 2016. Some are saying that this year's Cavaliers could potentially replicate or even surpass the Warriors' feat from 2016, having lost only four games so far. Curious fans might wonder who the Cavaliers lost to in these four games. Let's take a closer look.

On November 20th of last year, the Celtics defeated the Cavaliers 120-117, ending the Cavaliers' 15-game winning streak at the start of the season. This game was part of the NBA Cup, during which Jayson Tatum scored 33 points for the Celtics, Jaylen Brown had 17 points, Derrick White contributed 19 points, and Al Horford added 22 points.
