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

Ignoring this comp between Murray and Trae for a second why is it a consensus in this sub that Trae can’t play offball? I’ve said it multiple times when talking about Trae or even guys like Luka and Harden why should they play off ball when their secondary guys have no been better offensive engines than them?

Steph would not be Steph without draymond running the offense allowing him to run and create havoc on offense similar to how much Jokic helps get Murray and others going in that system. The hawks have not had someone equal to Trae in terms of offense and Dejounte is not the secondary playmaker to step up and run the offense for Trae to be off ball like draymond and Jokic are
