5. PG Jameer Nelson

Nelson missed over a month with a wrist injury this season, and he has not gotten back into the rotation over the last month. Age (34) and having two years with over $9 million left on his contract detracts from Nelson's appeal in trades, but he has no place in Denver heading into 2016-17.

4. G/F Mike Miller

Miller is old (36 years old) and offers nothing when he does play (1.3 points per game this season), so there's no way he's back with the Nuggets next season.

3. F/G Wilson Chandler

Chandler missed this entire season after undergoing hip surgery in November. A bad looking contract (over $23 million over the next two seasons, $12.8 million player option for 2018-19) and significant injury history won't help Chandler's trade value, but if he gets full medical clearance early in the offseason the Nuggets have to look to move him.

2. F/C Darrell Arthur

Arthur's per-36 minute numbers this season look promising (12.5 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists), and a solid recent run as a starter will be fresh on the Nuggets' collective mind. But health is always a concern for Arthur, including a knee issue that sidelined him for Saturday night's game. Even with a player option for next season, Denver would be well-advised to look elsewhere for power forward depth.

1. SF Danilo Gallinari

Gallinari is clearly very talented (19.5 points per game this season), but he has now played less than 60 games in three straight seasons and four of the last five campaigns. With one more fully guaranteed season on his contract, albeit at a shade over $15 million, Gallinari looks like the Nuggets' best trade chip if they have a big move in mind this summer.
