Gordon playing his best is a much more valuable player than Jamal Murray. He covers jokic weaknesses so bad.

I wonder what the ideal ratio of talent distribution might be when it comes balancing roster construction and salaries. The more max-level players you have, the more likely you are to suffer a significantly impactful injury and the harder it is to have redundancy/capable replacements.

I would also think there would be value in how much easier it can be to trade contracts of role players to enable you to pivot or make slight course corrections.

I find it interesting because it is easy to think “just get the best players you can,” but there’s obviously so much more to it than that.

That’s what Jokic has had to deal with throughout his career. Back in the day, Murray was dealing with one injury after another. Murray was even out whole seasons. But AG was in his prime. Now, it has flipped. AG looks broken down while Murray seems like he’s entering his prime.

Although I wouldn’t count my eggs just yet as Murray isn’t also the most robust of players.

Don’t forget when Murray missed the entire season and MPJ played 9 games at the start where it looked like his body was falling apart in real time before shutting it down for the rest of the season.

Nah AG peaked 23-25 and even then was different each year. As he lost a little burst he also became a better shooter and decision maker.

This year he looks like hes smoking weed before games or something. Slow physically and mentally.

He’s been Denver’s best player this season. Jokic is still not pre injury jokic but he is roinding into form.

And don’t forget, Jamal Murray’s defense, he took Amen’s lunch money on both ends of the floor vs the rockets and clamped everyone vs Memphis.

kosmos1209 | DEN

He’s also been playing solid defense this season so far. He’s been all over his man and is averaging nearly a block a game, and that’s not an empty block stat either. He came into this season with something to prove or something.

schoolhater12 | TOR

He and Jokic are playing much better defense, while Aaron Gordon their best defender over the last 3 years, is basically unplayable on both ends

kosmos1209 | DEN

He looked ok vs the Grizzlies last night, but Grizzlies have this twin tower thing going with Edey and Boozer. AG has been toast when the other power forwards have been quicker than him.

Jokic in his last 5: ²⁶⁄₁₁.⁸⁄₈.8/2/1

He should had those numbers in the last two years. At least his trade value is increasing for the Denver rebuild.

Not mention he has been playing excellent defense. Best offense and defense at the same time is incredible. Honestly the only PG I’d take over him right now is Luka (We don’t have enough ball handlers so Steph offball wouldn’t work as well as it would on other teams, and Shai doesn’t shoot the 3 well which we desperately need right now)

Much-Philosopher-935 | Kawhi Leonard

Honestly how many players in the entire league would you say have been undoubtably better than him this season? Wemby, Luka, Steph, Tatum, Maxey after that idk how many more you can say have.

Greenwalrus72 | DEN

i know this says murray has been the nuggets best player, but you can absolutely say jokic has played better (despite his own down start) than everyone except wemby luka and steph so far. Maxey and Tatum, yes, you could say jokic has played better. Not saying he has, but there is certainly an argument to be made.

The advanced stats and impact metrics still agree actually that jokic has been top 5 this season, despite the start. And better than murray— although murray has had timely takeovers and is playing amazing.
