Bro we have a championship. Tell a nuggets fan in 2019 we’d have a championship and might overpay one of those players on that team. We’d not care one bit.

DrPuzzle

Well that’s sad to hear. I mean, listen I fully understand maybe floating the idea given his ‘struggles’ (last year was kinda bad right? But mostly it’s been just the slow starts?) but he’s a really, really good #2 (I suppose #3 when AG is healthy) option + from what I’ve seen his chemistry with Jokic is great, no? For years we have seen how good their 2-man game is. Granted, we all know Joker could do that with anyone, lol. But still.

Just sad I guess. Seems like a super good dude, likes where he’s at, and when he’s on (this season so far) he’s great and at times elite

Fit-Avocado-342 | Nuggets

I mean yeah you got it for the most part lol, some people were just being way too over reactive to a bad playoffs when he was playing thru injury (calf) for the whole run.

For the most part, I believe that championship caliber #2s are rare to come by and when you have one you pay them. I would’ve been so mad if we traded Jamal for PG or lavine or whatever star player people were proposing we trade for.

Now granted if it’s a Luka type of trade where we get a top 5 player back? Then yeah you take that but most of the trades I saw proposed around Jamal from these fans seemed like lateral moves that wouldn’t improve the team much while hurting our chemistry. Just not worth it

DrPuzzle

Brother imagine if you traded for PG, what a disaster (I assume) that would be have been, oh my lord 😂. I mean, who knows but…PG has been just bad. But yeah of course if you could got Luka that would be a no brainer. Luka+Jokic is the dream to watch. I’d love to fucking see that shit

May I suggest Austin Reaves? 28/5/7 on 69% TS. Also a 2nd option, better record than the Nugs, scoring 41ppg in games without Luka.

Davistabuff9 | Nuggets

Jamal would be on the intl team. There are two American teams for AR to be a part of. Also think the Nugs and Lakers have the same record ;).

Also go Jamal! He’s clearly come into this year motivated and its shown on both offense and defense.

cheesecake_face | Nuggets

so it’s the Embiid method? because there is no one more American than AR15. 😂

(remember it’s ‘USA vs. World’ this year.)

OKC starters might have trouble getting on honors, purely because the bench is so good, they don’t have to check back-in to play extended minutes/play all games.

Damn. After almost a decade in the league, this is the first time he’s won the award. You’d think a player many people are touting to be a “near All Star” whatever the heck that means would have won this award a long time ago.

Greenwalrus72

I mean it’s kinda goofy that they will.

The “Murray is all star level” agenda is so weird to use against Jokic. Unironically. Murray has never had a season start off this hot– and that’s why he’s never been an all star. This is also the nuggets franchise record through 23 games, and that’s with missing Gordon and CB for like half of it. Yes, the roster got deeper, but do they think it’s a coincidence that Murray is playing his best ball through the start AND they have the best record they’ve ever had through 23 games?

Or take the playoffs. Murray has 2 seasons where he was really at that all star to all nba level in the playoffs, otherwise he hasnt been quite there. Those 2 years? The nuggets made the WCF (bubble, lost to a very good Lakers–eventual champs) and won the chip (2023).

It’s NOT A COINCIDENCE. LMAO. When Jamal is at that level and providing that “all star” level of help, the nuggets do look a lot better.

Yeah, from Lakers, Thunders and Bucks fans. No Nuggets fan has said it this season, they said it when the Nuggets had a playoff rotation of 6 usable players and several of them had to play injured.
