So, if tonight's lineup is as advertised, our lineup is:

Jokic-Plumlee-Hibbert
Hernangomez-Arthur
Chandler-Miller
Harris-Beasley
Murray

Maybe WY wasn't so crazy to think the Nuggets need to carve out a role for Beasley next year

Well, does seem we have the SG position covered with both youth and talent

[kinggnik87]

Murray - Mudiay = PG
Harris - Beasley = SG

Looks good, but Beasley has a long way to go to really be a great backup to Harris. He's still unproven in terms of consistency. But the potential is there.

Murray seems like fitting right into the PG role since we don't really need him to contribute entirely as we have Jokic.

Mudiay wise, it's hard to imagine Mudiay will be okay in the long run coming in for Murray, because Mudiay did come into the NBA 1 year earlier than Murray. I'm just worry about his ego (does he has one? Not sure yet).

Now that Harris can be counted on as the PG role against lottery teams, consider this as a bonus for us.

Harris-Beasley
Murray-Mudiay
all about the same size so they can switch on defense - they are all very different players and that can always be a plus and they can all handle the ball to some degree --- Harris is rock solid, the other three still need some seasoning/proving time; which only playing time will change --- of course the Nuggets probably should carry 6 guards, but with those four, what skills the other two guards have is probably less important - I'd vote for a couple of veterans nearing the end of their careers

Nice game, nice win - not overly impressive but it seemed like team defense was better, not great but better
The lineup that started the second half was Jokic, Plumlee, Hernangomez, Harris, Murray --- interesting!

Beasley showed me enough last night, that I'd be very comfortable with trading Barton.
