The Denver Nuggets are reportedly, FINALLY considering dealing Jamal Murray…BUT would a swap with Boston for Jaylen Brown actually make Denver any better?

  1. Honestly, the NBA hasn't been very intersting in quite some times, but it's even worst if you consider the overall GMs' choices that don't make any sense : betting on Embid, Harden, George, you name it, the Luka trade, the Giannis trade, and so on and so forth. I'm close to having 0 knowledge on basketball and still I can see the the disastrous pairings from afar.

  3. Are we comparing Jamal Murray to Jalen Brown?
    Jalen Brown the FMVP and last year's League MVP contender?
    The Nuggets would be lucky to pull this trade off.

  6. naw u wrong now skap ur take on jaylens statement is completely wrong.
    … it was his favorite because they didnt have they superstar and they as projected to be a 8th seed.. but they exceeded exp.. thats why he said it..

  7. I think Denver is broken beyond repair in the Jokic era because once you make a series of bad financial decisions, most contracts are hard to get out from under and still be a contender at the same time.

  8. Jaylen Brown is vastly overrated and his attitude his terrible. He’s an entitled baby who isn’t nearly as good as he thinks or the media acts like.

  13. The nuggets need a back up for jokic like mitchell robinson and a consist guard like cade cunningham. Jamal murray inconsistencies are more apparent the older he gets due to injuries even though he was healthier last season but he ball hogs way too much which makes it too predictable with the 2 man game with jokic and than turns the ball over and jacking up low percentage contested 3 point shots. When watching the games it seems to rub off of murray and it's happening to jokic since murray turns the ball over that are completely unforced and than becomes indecisive with ball like like shooting the ball too early in the shot clock. It seems like jokic is doing his thing on court but is also following up on the same mistakes that murray is making like making unforced turn overs and being indecisive at times and shooting the ball early in the shot clock during the games both in the regular season and in the playoffs. If you watch how murray plays, it seems like the mistakes caused by him jokic is doing something similar. I mention both jokic and murray since most of the plays are talked about but have been more predictable instead of blending it in with the other players consistently to become unpredictable. I trust aaron gordon and peyton watson bringing up the ball more often than murray since murray seems more comfortable playing as the 2 guard since he gets too gassed based on his body language like with the mistakes he makes when he gets tired when playing as the main point guard even when switching between jokic since jokic seems to be better conditioned than murray while jokic is carrying the large majority of the offense. I like cam johnson since he is finally getting comfortable with how the nuggets play so he can focus on his game and his teammates and do whatever it takes to win a game since the same thing also applies aaron gordon. I was looking forward to watching peyton watson play but was derailed by injuries last season since he has the long and athletic frame similar to tayshaun prince. I will go far as to say that peyton watson is the modern day version of tayshaun prince for the nuggets due to his versatility on defense and ongoing improvements on offense with huge steps forwards when playing on offense and scoring and getting assists while still being very young. However, tayshaun prince was one of the most consistent players that remained healthy health wise due to his thin athletic frame while guarding the best players in a physical era in the early 2000s era.

  15. U are wrong about Jaylen brown 93 zay broke down the full context of what jb said he was happy for the growth of his teammates and young players coming into their own y’all just run with narratives at times

  23. I'm a Lakers fan who tuned out the last 8 years. I want Jokic to come here and Bum to go anywhere else. But weirdly, I feel sorry for Denver Nuggets fans. Ownership has a once in a lifetime talent on their team and they've purposely refused to better the team.

  24. This works was too well, too bad Denver's front office is way too f'ing stupid to figure it out. They'll shuffle some Titanic deck chairs and swap some end of the bench players or pick up a 2009 All Star.

  32. Watson is getting way too much love, he's a younger and lesser Anunoby. He's an interesting 4th option, not a major piece season long. I hope Murray goes, it would suck to see Johnson go and hell no to getting rid of Gordon.

  35. No. If it goes through, who's the pg for denver? Murray creates his own shot and is a playmaker and say what you want, murray is a valuable piece for jokic. Denver needs a kcp player and to stay healthy. Bring in a better conditioning and strenght team with assistant coaches with experience
