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

for all that upside you get with trae on the team when jokic doesn’t have the ball, there’s a whole bunch of downside for when trae doesn’t have the ball. murray is way better off ball than trae. why would you want to go from a player who is good next to jokic regardless of whether he has the ball to a player who will only be good in certain scenarios

Question: did you see the nuggets’ two man game with murray and someone other than jokic? Cause its godawful, murray isnt great offball and the only reason trae is called terrible off ball is that he had the worst fucking ball handlers in the league on his team

Trae is an improvement in every single aspect except defense which both players are awful in
