I don't think Denver is trading Murray and I dont think they will get equal value for him if they did. He is a championship team's second best player. Now that I said all that.

How does Denver actually get better? Picks are traded out, they are over the 2nd apron, and MPJ's overpaid contract is the only piece the really have with value (depending on who you ask).

Would Murray want to be a 2nd option to anyone other than Joker? Would you want Murray as your 1A? Most the games where he fell in love with his own shot the Nuggets lost.

completely agree - he's not going anywhere.

Murray is the absolute archetype I refer to when designing ORL's ideal PG...really not a PG, but just enough. Jokic is one in a million, so I'm not suggesting too much similarity, but the best possible version of Paolo Banchero could flirt with triple-doubles with the right teammates (and quite a bit of development). Murray is the epitome of a modern Lead Guard.

Why would Denver want draft picks. They have the 3 time mvp in his prime. They want to win now.

Does this include the incriminating vids and pics our GM has of the DEN ownership?
