Re: Do the Nuggets have the Best Starting Lineup?
Its a nice lineup but too inconsistent IMO especially barton/Murray. Thats why I have portland (sadly) ahead of denver this season in terms of where they finish. MPJ will be a wildcard.

Re: Do the Nuggets have the Best Starting Lineup?
Philadelphia has the best starting lineup, while Milwaukee SL looks similar to Denver, but better builded around Giannis because we have one starter which is bad fit for Jokic (Barton) while all Bucks (starters) suit great to Giannis. But we can fight with these two best East teams because we have great bench too, which is in Sixers' case especially very weak.
On the West, Clippers have a better "closing" lineup when Lou Williams and Harrell join starters. Our starting lineup is a similar quality with Utah, Houston, Lakers, and Warriors (when Klay is healthy), but we have a better bench. For NBA best 2020-21 starting lineup we need to re-sign Grant, MPJ improvement, and Murray's all-star or at least borderline all-star level.

Hilarious idea. Sure. This could be much closer if MPJ hits hard and I guess? Grant?? or someone else at pf does too
There are 2 pieces and mpj could be a 3rd. (Technically Gary harris is one if you can understand he’s piece 5)

If I'm reading it right, have to agree with Coeur here, not sure we're even putting our best lineup on the court for the SL. Even so, this should be a strong competitive lineup throughout the year, however it shakes out. I also am very stoked for our bench too.
