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

People who've said they don't want the ball out of Joker's hands as if Trae isn't himself statistically one of the best PnR players...that doesn't really make sense but I do agree that the Nuggets would be worse in large part because Trae is way more exploitable defensively. Offensively, the fit would work theoretically.

Joker would probably initiate a little less with Trae but his touches overall wouldn't go down appreciably.
