If you replaced Jamal Murray with Trae Young would the Nuggets be better or worse? (alien.top)

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

In the past couple years, Trae Young's has put up elite and incredible regular season stats and they dwarfs those of Murrays.

But when it mattered most (the playoffs) Murray's stats have likewise been elite:

2020 - ppg 26.5 ast 6.6 tov 2.8 on .626 TS

2023 - ppg 26.1 ast 7.1 tov 2.5 on .586 TS

That's arguably a top 3 playoff performance by a secondary star in the past decade++.
