Now that the trade is official, I'm curious what realgm thinks of these possible duos going head 2 head in the Finals next year?

Dame > Murray (by a lot), Jokic = Giannis.

I'll take the Bucks duo.

Well if you get the Murray who puts up 25-32ppg on great efficiency like he did in 3 of 4 series last playoffs then its the Nuggets duo imo. If this is more about the regular season then its the Bucks duo.

Jokic / Murray, mainly because the gap between Jokic and Giannis is larger than the gap between Murray and Old Man Dame.

The problem with judging Murray is his postseasons have been on a different level than his regular seasons. So it's hard to be certain what we can expect from him going forward.

Jokic and Murray are proven commodity. Lillard had one or two great play off series in his career , rest of them were choke jobs or he was getting bailed by Mccolum . Lillard is the most overrated superstar in today's NBA,undersized chucker with no defense.

Gimme the championship duo <3 You've got to beat the champs to dethrone them. Their synergy is something we rarely see from the two best players on an NBA team. I'm sure Dame and Giannis will eventually figure it out, but the Denver twosome have already gotten there.

Just concentrate on the play off's, regular season is as good as meaningless.

Jokic/Murray works perfectly and we have a big, shiny proof for that.

Pretty even or slight edge to Nuggets if Murray can replicate at least 90% of playoff production in regular season.

Dame and Giannis easily.

Literally the perfect fit. I will be shocked if the Bucks don't win the championship. They kept Middleton which is the surprise. I didn't think Jrue and picks would get them Dame. Steal of the century!

Theres a MUCH larger gap between Murray and Dame than there is between Jokic and Giannis in the immediate. Think there's some regression in line with regards to how Murray is viewed due to the recency bias of a Championship.
