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

I'd say worse because Murray is better fit with Jokic and it's not like he is much worse than Trae anyway

Why is Murray a better fit with Jokic?

[–] ruggnuget@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

chemistry from playing so many years together. Also Murray has a very extensive set of moves all over the floor. So he can create shots from wherever he is.

Also, Traes whole game of 'is it a floater or a lob'...wouldnt exist with Jokic.

Your one of few who mentioned chemistry. To me this is the biggest reason of all. The 2 of them might have the best chemistry in the league. Then you add the chemistry Gordon has developed with both of them to me Murray is untouchable for the Nuggets.
