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

Worse, not only has Murray built up an amazing chemistry with jokic on offense that is bigger than either of them and probably up there with Stockton Malone as the best two pnr duos ever. But he also is an actual competent defender of both point and shooting guards and can switch comfortably on most forwards or at least as comfortable as any other point gaurd is. That’s the nuggets whole gaurd philosophy: 3 point shooters who can gaurd forwards and bigger guards due to their size, it’s why KCP and Bruce brown were so key Bc both can do those things.
