he’s putting up same numbers as Lauri on better efficiency

Ainge played himself

We need a couple of future picks.

Maybe a third team involved because Kuminga is not it.

Warriors have had their fun

Haha do you see how much wiggle room the nuggets got from getting off of that contract? That’s the last thing you need unless he came with picks.

Kuminga plus salary and a first or two and he’s yours

as a nets fan i’m so happy. I get wanting to tank but like play in teams have picked #1 two years in a row now i’d much rather start building a culture with these rooks plus this is just so much fun

He’s been available but just took awhile to get accustomed/ find his feet, and then got injured just the once? He was playing well before that?

It was a good trade for both teams but MPJ is clearly better and this was a discussion with most people saying cam is better

Literally no sane Nugget fan would tell you MPJ was horrible defensively these last few years. He was immense for us as a weakside rim protector, cleaned up on the boards, and used his length really well to close up passing lanes. His shortcomings are he’s really stiff and slow laterally so he can’t guard fast guards in isolation. Early in his career he got absolutely torched by Lillard and Chris Paul in the playoffs and people labeled him unfairly. He’s grown a lot since then.

Jordi (our coach) is the reason our defense is so damn good.

MPJ is a baby giraffe on ice skates. Once he gets is feet underneath him, he blocks shots. And yet, he is always a half step behind and just a bit behind the play.

bro your entire account is hating on other players, primarily jokic. what is wrong with you, are you incapable of enjoying the game without hating?

MPJ can’t stay in front of competent ball handlers so asking him to switch onto guards without relying on a rim protector is basically asking to get scored on 90+% for drives. Nets have a rim protector nuggets didn’t. Jokic was second in the league in steals last year and is a good situational defender which makes him an average to slightly below average defender for his position. Especially when you factor in defensive rebounds.

Nah not iso. Jordi has him running off screens and actions like the nets are the warriors in their prime. Mpj is legitimately one of the most efficient players of all time. Will admit as a nets fan I thought he was a shot chucker but he is not.

The starting lineup was never the issue. It was the nonexistent bench that would lose leads in 5 secs

This season? He most certainly is a worse player. He’s playing with a great team, but please don’t get it twisted, the Nets got the better player in the trade. The Nuggets don’t care tho, because it opened up cap space for them.

Although, the unprotected pick along with MPJ still floors me.

MPJ was never a bad defender no one can look good defensively next to Jokic

Jokic is the Trae Young of the greats
