Tbh I think AG makes more sense for both teams rather than Jamal. The nuggets would need to replace AG with another physical defender and Boston would maybe need to add an athletic wing (maybe Braun) but I think that addresses both teams’ weaknesses
If the deal was Blazers giving up Sharpe, Clingan and Grant then it would be 1 pick at most included but they’d be better off just keeping ClingKong and go snag a cheaper addition to the squad while getting off Grant.
Idk if we can still rely on the 2 man game after not being able to to make the WCF two years in a row. Teams have figured it out. How do we win with 2 unathletic players
And Jason Timpf?
Calling Jamal Murray unathletic is diabolical. You can't hit fadeaways and do some with the acrobatic stuff he does without being athletic🤦
Not sure why the Celtics would swap out JB for Jamal Murray. Offensively it would make sense for them since Murray is an elite scorer and a high level ball handler and play maker to pair with Jason Tatum. But it doesn't make sense on the defensive end–JB is a far better defender than Murray. JB would meet a critical need for the Nuggets by helping them get more athletic and better defensively while also scoring at a high level. But the Nuggets already have a ball handling issue even with Murray. W/out him there would be a huge ball handling void.
JB wants to be a #1 somewhere. So that means there aren't many teams he could go to, and not a lot the Celtics would be able to get back.
Brown belongs on the Celtics, more than Giannis or any of these spare parts… even at his price
I hate these discussions😭😭 all the deals on the table that aren’t Giannis are definite downgrades for the Celtics. I pray we don’t split our stars for some firsts and and role players
Scoot Henderson works and Jamal Murray don't. Are you kiding me? Maybe as a backup point guard he does 🤣 Boston and Denver need to shake up things. The championship days are over and if they don't reshape their rosters they are not winning the title anytime soon. Murray, White, Cam, Tatum strting 4 is very good, and JB, Watson, AG, Jokic are also very good.
I think id loke this move jist for the Defence side of the ball for Joker.
I'll take Nikola on his word. He will play his entire career as a denver Nugget.
If they suck he will retire next year otherwise he will sign for the most he possibly can. If he signs this year he loses money.
I hope now he understands why Milwaukee didn't want JB, because nobody else wants JB.
This guys really said that he is a fan of IDF soldier. That’s crazy
In 2026 you would say that
I couldn’t disagree with you more Jason. The primary reason the nuggets haven’t made it past the t wolves and Thunder the last 3 years is because Jamal is not the same player vs bigger/athletic guards. Jokic with anyone can be a top 5 offense in the league. Having a guy who can get a bucket and get a stop, regardless of the physicality is what the nuggets need. Honestly just someone who can get a stop is enough because jokic can score a bucket or get a clean look for anyone whenever he wants. We still would need to find another PG tho.
Two man game with Jamal has been scouted to death.Doesnt work anymore.Nikola with better athlete like JB would be better two man game option now ..
simple fact that JB can create space and get past defenders
Jamal unfortunatelly has lost any speed he use to have years ago
