If the Nuggets could trade MPJ for Wiggins and Murray for Lavine, they could get back to being a contender next season.

Why?

I remember people back in the day claiming Shaq wasn't impressive; they said anyone could be that good with his size.

Simply doesn't work that way. You have to be skilled and tough. Being functionally competent at that size is not as easy as you think.

You'd probably never sniff college ball even if you were 7 feet.

Porter playing out of his bad stretch and Malone's love for him is probably the only reason Lavine didnt end up as a Nugget this year

I'll do you one better. He'll retire. At this point it wouldnt surprise me if Jokic is content with his NBA career and honestly from his POV I couldnt blame him for thinking that

He had it for a day lol.

SGA beat the champs and Jokic can't beat the lowly Wolves.

SGA is too good!

:lol:
SGAs teammates shot 50% from the floor and playe excelent defense.
Jokics teammates are now 23-65 FG and 5-23 from 3 while they play trash defense...

If the Celtics and Thunder make the Finals, the C's are getting swept.
