Is there a realistic trade...

...that could measurably improve Denver's perimeter defense this season? Murray has been a matador on that end, in addition to inefficient so far on the other end of the floor. Will Barton for Marcus Smart works financially but I can't make a reasonable case for Boston to do that deal.

I'm optimistic that MPJ will hit his stride and Murray will return to at least pre-bubble form, but I still don't see the defensive help Jokic needs.

So you couldn't put this in the Nuggets trade thread ??? Had to make a WHOLE thread for this question ??
