[Murray] Terms from LA Clippers:
Incoming: Max Strus, Max Strus’ hair
Outgoing:
Clippers intend for Strus to be a major rotation piece, so this is not a re-route situation
I would actually say Max Strus’ hair seems to be outgoing
That headband doing a lot of heavy lifting 👀
Miami, Cleveland, Los Angeles. Max Strus following LeBron one follicle at a time.
Max Strus’s hair must be special
It’s been looking increasingly like a limited time deal
What a handsome looking man
Clippers might still be good with getting Ingram, Gradey, Strus, and Hachimura as replacements for losing Kawhi.
With how many guards we have, I can’t imagine we see Gradey get many minutes
Looks passable with Ingram and Mathurin. Feels like we need another big man, with the abundance of 2-3 type guys(Ingram, Mathurin, DJJ, Struss, Dunn, Miller, Beal, hell even sanders is sorta fits that) feels like a trades incoming.
I forgot they had Brook Lopez and that Center they drafted last year. Also don’t underestimate Ty Lue, he’ll know what crazy lineups to run.
Ty def does well with using what he got, its the development part thats kinda worrying esp for Wagler
Thats a pretty man
Corny Murray, just tell us the facts
Good trade
Clippers lowkey a better contender than the nuggets rn lol
Happy with the trade
They gave away a player who’s missed 70% of all games in his career for a 1rp
They weren’t going anywhere with or without Watson in the stacked west
I don’t mind the trade for y’all value wise and financially, but what is the vision/intention for the Nuggets then, given you are acknowledging its a lost year?
He was probably your most interesting young player on an otherwise veteran team as well so its hard to see this as a development season
Look at the west, and the east. There’s no hope for the nuggets for anther chip no matter what we do
So I guess you are okay with treading water as long as Jokic is there? Doesn’t exactly seem inspiring for all parties involved. I’d try to get younger around Jokic given it’s hard to get better with your current asset trove. Might suck to waste a year or two especially with Jokic in his early 30s, but that’s the only way I see you guys can win again with him.
The other option is blowing it all up, which doesn’t seem it would go over well with the fanbase.
I don’t see any moves that could make the nuggets contenders again
So time to trade Jokic and rebuild?
You don’t trade franchise icons unless he wants to be traded. The point of a business is to make money
Won’t Jokic want to be traded if they’re done competing?
The point of a team is to win championships. But we all know how your owners see the team, and I almost feel sorry for y’all.
Agreed, why try for greatness when you can settle for mediocrity
Lol They haven’t gotten out of the second round since the title run. And the west is even more stacked.
It’s hopeless either way. Might as well get under the apron
That’s not even your money and they have Walmart money
There’s a hard cap in the NBA. Unless you think the Nuggets should pull a tree planting gig
No there isn’t
There’s mediocre, and then there’s spending an extra $140M/year on your fifth starter.
What about 125 for Christian braun
Y’all are way overhyping Watson. Especially one that had hamstring issues this past year
I doubt Watson would have made the Clippers great
Peyton Watson has played 68% of the regular season games since joining the nuggets, and most of his absence came his rookie year.
Lol, what kind of math are we teaching people in Texas😂😂
Watson has missed 225 out of 328 regular season games in his career🤣🤣
Happy with the trade, yall got garbage and refused to pay a way better player than braun who got a huge 5yr 125M contract he clearly isn’t worth 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What better player ? We’ve never seen Watson play. How do you know he’s better ?
It’s way obvious he’s better than Braun, Braun was clearly a Jokic merchant, without Jokic he would just be a regular role player, but Watson showed incredible flashes with and without Jokic.
But no this Reddit was adamant the nuggets have to pay Braun a fat contract because otherwise someone else would and they wouldn’t be able to replace him
Yeah, for the 20 games he will play a season, he’s better. I’ll give you that lol
Ok but Christian Braun was not worth a 5yr/125M contract, if they had denied him that and waited to pay Watson his contract instead it would have been way more worth it which is what good front offices do
But then again your a nuggets fan your team doesn’t know what a good front office looks like
Yeah Braun is not worth it. But that’s a different issue.
The Nuggets are fucked mainly because they had to pay Murray the max
