Basically the title. Replace Murray with Trae. Contracts stay the same. Are the Nuggets better or worse now? I’m talking about Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks by the way

I think worse but not as much as most of this thread. Trae makes the non jokic minutes which has been a problem every year for denver much better. Murray is a great playoff performer and fit with jokic but he can’t carry 2nd units by himself

Okay bro, I have to ask- why the Doc Rivers flair?

Their account is 9 years old. If they joined this place when they created their account then Doc Rivers was the hot acquisition that a lot of people felt help legitimize the team. It was one thing to draft Blake and trade for CP3, but Doc was the first real massive get who wanted to come to the Clippers.

People are memeing his last few years there, and OP may just be memeing as well, but Doc's failure with the clippers has really overshadowed just how huge getting Doc was his first few years there. From 2010 to 2013 the Clippers went from a legitimate joke franchise with a history with less success than the current Hornets, to a destination franchise that had a stacked top 2 and legitimate coach who were primed to compete for years.

This is the right answer, Jokic would make it work

Can’t carry 2nd unit by himself?? Wtf how do y’all get so stupid??

Besides the playoffs this year go look at Denver’s on/off splits without jokic. Malone has staggered jokic and Murray quite often but it doesn’t matter, Denver’s bench does not play well
