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

This is a nonsensical comparison.

Dame is going to have the ball primarily in Milwaukee because what you want is him ball handling in the pick and roll with Giannis.

Murray does not primarily have the ball most of the time in the pick and roll with Jokic. Sure they do it some, but they run a ton of inverted pick and rolls and dribble-hand-offs because the ball is so effective in Jokic's hands..

Meanwhile the biggest flaw in Giannis' game is probably that he wants to handle the ball a ton up top but he's not actually that good at it.
