Denver outgoing

MPJ
'27 1st rd pick

New Orleans adds more shooting around Zion and Murphy III with MPJ. The '27 1st is a future asset.

Denver banks on Murray coming back full strength, who can start with Jamal. Alvarado is a stop gap back-up pg. Jamal/Dejounte/Alvarado is a nice pg rotation. Denver moves on from Westbrook.

Denver can't trade their 2027 1st and MPJ is more valuable than Murray.

Denver can't trade a pick until 2031. Porter is younger, healthier and better than Murray. This is bad for Denver all around.
