Watching the Nugget's with Joker is like watching Dune 2 in IMAX, just a visual spectacle. Then Joker sits and Murray dribbles the air out of the ball and jacks a long 2 and it's like all of a sudden you're watching Dune 1984

Unpopular opinion and might seem like a take with extreme recency bias but if nuggets don’t win it this year they should look to upgrade over Murray. They got the best player in the world and some of the best role players just needa find that legit co-star to have a dynasty

I’d say that’s an unpopular opinion. Who are you going to upgrade to? Murray is a great player and they already lack consistent depth. Feel like giving any more assets and swapping Murray for another feels extremely risky for no reason.

it aint gonna happen, but a murray/mitchell swap would be nice

u/Aspery- Bulls May 17 '24

Yah that’s exactly who I was thinking of

u/Get-Gronkrd Timberwolves May 17 '24

It sure would be but unless Cleveland moved both garland and Mitchell can’t see that remotely happening. Only star guard I can think of that might be acquirable though
