No Jokić Problems Continue to Plague The Denver Nuggets, As They Fall To The Memphis Grizzlies

[@nelsonreed1543]

Monte morris didn’t do better when he left.. but I digress cause everyone else u named I cant argue against

[@CS105.1]

@@nelsonreed1543 so argue against my point. Haha. It feels like Morris has done better when he left. He was on the team that took the Nuggets out last post season which he had a big hand in. None of the nuggets could stop his long range shooting. Now he’s on a very dominant Suns which is doing better than the Nuggets this season. I could settle for he as an individual hasn’t gotten better or worse.

@ I mean jumping teams doesn’t actually make u better.. Monte career was almost over in Washington.. and to say he’s done better for leaving when the nuggets win a chip without him is a stretch.. I’m sure morris would value a ring over saying I beat my old team

[@CS105.1]

@ true but it doesn’t discount the fact that he was very good while in Minnesota. And my biggest point is Jay Huff. The dude played like dog shit last year and now he’s key player for the grizzlies racking up 20+ games. I know a portion of that is the individual wanting to be better but part of it is also the staff giving you the tool and space to be better.

@ define good for me.. do you mean good for the locker room.. Morris last year avg is 5points and 2 assist.His career is dying a lil more every new team he goes to.. But yes I truly believe Malone is a horrible X’s and O’s coach.. his success relies purely on jokic, the only other time he had success was with cousins who also has a similar playstyle to jokic.. so no coincidence.. but I can tell you who career would fall off if he leaves.. and that’s Murray.. if Murray had to carry a team like Cade carries Detroit.. he would never received 1 max contract

[@CS105.1]

@ I disagree with you on Malone. I think he’s one of the top 5 best coaches right now. Not the best but one of the top five. Because he’s the head coach he gets a lot of the blame for when we lose games and when we win Jokić takes all the glory but Malone had a lot to say for wins and losses. I don’t think Adleman is a good assistant coach. I think we lost against the pelicans largely due to him being the coach. However I will say it is VERY frustrating to see Malone rarely use a coaches challenge and when he decides to it’s on the call that was clearly against Denver. But he has shown significant growth since last season.

Trade Murray. He's been bad since the playoffs. They would have won against twolves had he performed well.

[@gametime2473]

No one wants that bum on a max contract lol

[@CS105.1]

@@gametime2473 sadly this is a thing. Nuggets dug themselves into the current hole they’re in. I don’t think any team would have Murray as a starter right now.

[@CS105.1]

@@aquamarine56 who do you trade him for? And keep in mind whoever hypothetically they get needs to mesh well with the rest of the team otherwise it’s a ruined trade and you could be worse because of it. I bring the blame back to Calvin Booth.

@@CS105.1 I hear ya. I respect players that are loyal to their team, it's a rare thing in this day and age but it's a two way street. Denver has been SO incompetent with their front office that I am thinking he should leave. His career is always going to be judged by his rings and he isn't getting any more rings with this team without a miracle.

[@CS105.1]

@@gametime2473 man you said it. The FO is horrible. Kronkes should’ve never let Tim Connolly go. That was their biggest mistake. But yeah for the players is a mindset thing too and Murray just doesn’t even look like he likes basketball anymore. Seems like he’s more passionate about mma.

[@gametime2473]

Jokic really needs to leave Denver unless he wants to suffer the fate of Barry Sanders, wasting his great career on a garbage organization

[@zhongxina9832]

Money is good, but not enough for his contribution

[@CS105.1]

@@gametime2473 the system of Denver allows Jokić to be the core guy and all the plays run through him. I don’t think he wants to leave at all. He even said when they lose they lose as a team and he needs to be better and he says this dropping monster triple doubles a game.
