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. Much worse Trae Young is in many ways a better basketball player than Jamal Murray, but that's because his main strength is you can give him the ball run a million pick and rolls and he can run your entire offense.

This is not a good way to play when Jokic is on your team, and Murray is also clearly better on defense.

Especially because Trae works best with a roll lob threat, which is like the only thing Jokic can't do on offense. It's literally the worst star player in the keague to pair with Jokic
