[@Thisisafineday]

The narrative on Zach Lavine is gonna change so fast once he's with Jokic. Lavine is so much better than anyone realizes because he's always had to be the main guy when he's really a 2nd or 3rd option. But as a Bulls fan, I just want our team to be as bad as possible so we can keep our pick and finally start a rebuild.

[@JohnGoober-nx2pt]

Exactly

[@Shortballa11]

But he's getting paid as the number 1 guy. Thats been the whole issue.

[@philiplee1769]

Getting paid number 1 dollars is part of it but his biggest criticisms have been injury and defense. Unfortunately injuries are part of the game and getting older hes going to get more prone. Defense doesnt get better with age either. So the narritive doesnt really change for me regardless of which team hes on. Great offensive player when healthy.

[@DammitBobby]

Both these trades are absolutely terrible for the nuggets. Getting Jokic help by making the roster worse and more Injury prone? L

[@HoChiMinhForTheWinh]

Forreal. Both LAvine and Jimmy are shaky 3 pt shooters . Also defensively speaking Jimmy is the only guy who is better than Murray, MPJ and Gordon in this conversation cause of his big back and his rebounding. As crazy as it sound Myles Turner might actually be a better option than both of these players cause hes a 3 pt shooting centre with pretty good defense. Only problem is mosy 3 pt shooting centres like Myles are stuvk in to xi c ish contracts so...

[@DammitBobby]

@HoChiMinhForTheWinh Levine is a slightly better off-ball shooter than Porter, but is much smaller, a worse defender and rebounder, and even more Injury prone than MPJ, on top of all that MPJ has the cheaper contract.

[@onlyfacts3178]

SPECIALLY when he is saying to trade the best 3point shooter for a non 3point shooter...

[@therealneal3034]

I’d argue that Jokic has playmaking help in the form of Russell Westbrook. 6.5 assists off the bench on 25 min a night is solid playmaking production. Now that he’s starting, Joker def has some help there. Everything else said in this video is 100% valid.

[@jlui21]

-- Bonus? For $3.3M, Westbrook is great. His prior contract of $45M/yr (as a non-shooter) was hot garbage.

[@therealneal3034]

@ I still think the Lakers screwed him over on that tho. Like, you’re gonna tell him to stand in the corner and be a shooter when he’s literally never done that. That’s like telling Curry to post up. 😂

[@Dizcreti]

@@therealneal3034yeah but he was regressing anyways plus his play style doesn’t translate when he’s older. He isnt a good co star. He has to be the guy

[@SportingLogically]

I hear you and Westbrook has been better than I thought he would be. But assists from a non shooter will make little difference in the playoffs

[@rainofkhandaq6678]

​@@SportingLogicallyWell Jimmy's shooting will tank and then he'll have no assists on top of it so.... Westbrook is specifically what they needed vs the Wolves. No back up point guard will make much more of a difference as far as shooting slthan Westbrook

he's a 24 PER, .250 WS/48 player who wants to compete for a championship. idc how old he is.

[@HoChiMinhForTheWinh]

PER and Win shares are invalid stats cause they dont include plus minus. Angry Old Hoops has an amazing video debunking non plus minus stats cause the league doesnt always measure assists as assists. Angry Old Hoops showed that for certain lbj assists , Jokic's assists were not counted even when lbj and Jokic made the same play. Which artificially decreases Jokic's box plus minus and his PER and his win shares.

[@uberneanderthal]

@@HoChiMinhForTheWinh i really doubt jimmy is getting the lebron treatment with his stats. and jimmy's top 10 in box plus/minus, too.

[@sniy230]

I think the cam Johnson idea would work

[@vlada]

Agree.

[@DnJar]

Yeah they need to go for the ones for Brooklyn because the report that that they're talking there is Denver would get Cam Johnson they would also get either Nick Claxton or Camp Thomas as a second man, and the third one would definitely be Dorian finney-smith and exchange they would send mpj, they would probably send Jalen Pickett and the third one would be Zeke nnaji and then they would put in a couple of pics that's how that would most likely work Denver gets an upgrade all the way with that trade they get equal offense because cam Johnson can put up the same offense equally as Porter he's only 2 inches shorter at 6 ft 8 and his defense is a little bit better than Porters and cam Thomas and Claxton whichever one is a second guy both of those guys can play offense quite well but their defense is both really good and Dorian finney-smith is a Lockdown Defender he's kind of like Pope kind of like Casey Dorian finney-smith is a lot like Caldwell Pope he's a he's a better than average shooter but he's an excellent Defender

[@palidanek74]

C Johnson + somebody else at some point makes the most sense

[@cheetah219]

I love cam, idk why. I just think very highly of him

[@uberneanderthal]

MPJ for Lavine would be, at best, a lateral move. makes no sense to shake up your core for that. Butler on the other hand continues to be one of the best all-around players in the league. **huge** upgrade for them if they can swing it.

Nuggets were 14-10 last year (same record as now) and ended 2nd in the West. AG, Murray, and Jokic have all missed several games to begin this year. While the Nuggets are and should be looking for more help, they are in no way desperate, or falling apart, or any of this media nonsense.

[@Peanutdenver]

100%...they're 5th in the West and only 5.5 games outta first. Murray did have a solid game against the Kings Monday night so hopefully he's getting back on track. Now MPJ's 3 game is not hitting but he has massively improved his inside game. There is no panic in Denver and if Calvin Booth could find someone(on the cheap)who would compliment the bench I could see that happening. I would be pretty shocked if they traded MPJ away at this point....but hey, KZbinrs gotta get them clicks

No. I want to see them play at 100% of their playmaking abilities. There only is one ball. You've been raised by a generation of KD, Lebrons where a superstar HAS to be paired with another. But if you're going to play that game: a shooter like KD or even Steph who is used to having Draymond play a Jokić playmaking role would complement Jokić or Luka more.

I hope the nuggets can trade Jamal for Zack Lavine. To match that salery the bulls would need to send a 10mil a year guy, and then they can get that guy in the trade package with someone else and get a decent role player. Of course in the ideal world the Nuggets would trade Jamal for Dennis Schroder and 2 more decnet guys, but that probably wont happen. Anyway right now I think trading Murray for Zack or whoever else is a better option than trading MPJ. Mike has size and brings rebounding, he's playing better than ever this season nad his contract is much better. Murray signed for a 52mil a year, and for context Curry is on a 54mil a year contract at the moment...

[@mh_golfer]

At least with Jimmy Butler Denver would have options and CAP space next off season. It helps them get out of a bad MPJ contract and would allow them to add some much-needed depth this summer. The Nuggets issue on offense is the second team, not the starters. They don't have a single player off the bench who can get their own shot on a consistent basis and they regularly blow double digit leads every time Jokic rests.

[@chasingbirds3073]

Both of these trades would be monumentally stupid.

[@SnoozzeYT]

I think the Jimmy trade is worth the risk just because there aren't a lot of teams that are contendors that could sign him. There's the magic and possibly the warriors if they don't get another piece by the deadline and also the T-wolves if they get rid of randle in the off season, but I don't see them or Jimmy being interested in a reunion. It would kind of depend on what';s most important to Jimmy at the moment, money or winning. As for Cam Johnson, I see him as a straight up upgrade over MPJ. I've been a big fan of his for a couple of years, both of those guys, but Cam Johnson just adds more. He's a more willing passer than Micheal 'The possession ends here' Porter Jr, a far better defender, as efficient if not more so and a far better defender. I think he adds more fluidity to the denver offense and is a better upgrade than people are predecting

[@seds94]

Jimmy is the guy to get. He understands basketball at higher level and much better defender than porter. Also can get you mych needed bucket. Thats 3 players on your team that can get a closing bucket. No other team has that in the NBA. Go all in for jimmy.

We want them to make moves but they can't until the summer. Murray is the guy that needs to be moved, he is not playing well on offense and is a huge liability on defense. MPJ has gotten a lot better at going to the bucket and is a solid rebounder so he isn't limited to just a spot up 3 point shooter anymore.

[@fresnoniiji]

[@michaelahurt]

​@@mh_golfer I also don't think people who don't watch the team a lot understand how valuable his size is to them on defense The lynchpin of their defense is if/when you pull Jok out you still have a big long wing (MPJ or AG) on the backside and as a rim protector and rebounder Something no one thinks about but coaches but if your center is at the three point line you better have some wings who can rebound

Lavine and Cam Johnson are the two players that would benefit the Nuggets most. Maybe an Aaron Wiggins or Isaiah Joe for defense. Jimmy Butler would possibly be the worst "good" pick up they could make. We saw what happened last year in the playoffs when Jokic doesn't have adequate spacing. You can't make the spacing worse and expect to get better overall. And if they resign Jimmy, they'll again be stuck in the same problem they are right now, NO MONEY. As far as I know, there is absolutely no way to get him, but Myles Turner would be the perfect player for the Nuggets in my mind.

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

IF BUTLER IS STILL BUTLER FROM HALF A DECADE OR MORE AGO AND U PUT HIM WITH JOKIC... THE NBA WOULD BE IN TROUBLE!!!! What makes the Butler I remember so dangerous (half a decade ago) is that he will spend a whole regular season scoring under 20 to let the rest of the team get as many reps with the ball as they can and when the playoffs come he will start taking over. Meaning (in this context) he can score at a high clip while Murray gets healthy and then adjust to the team and when the team is all healthy they would be AN AMAZING pair on the court at the same time. The leadership he has I think is the kind that would compliment Jokic also and not overshadow him, and along with his age and understanding I think those 2 (jokic and butler) would want to work together and instantly mesh. It just feels and looks right when you look at the perssonel because I think you would get a lot of the positives that doesn't show up on stat sheets. P.S. - its funny because yesterday I saw a thumb nail that showed Butler on the Cavilers and I said the same thing, but Butler is one of the rare players that is not considered a point guard you could litterally every thing statistically you need while being able to fill a leadership role and not stepping on toes of any leaders currently on the roster. Maybe I'm wrong (i don't know any of these players) but just seeing him and knowing his role on other teams leads me to believe he makes any team considerablly better, and on a team like this being any better instantly puts their asperations as championship contenders seam far more believable.

They need spot up shooters that’s it, give jokic two more shooters then they get a second ring

[@matias9633]

Do you think the blazers would be a team the nuggets would look at? Either Simmons or grant and if it’s grant then you don’t lose out on the defensive side as much

[@digithing7005]

i'm not an expert but i think Murray's contract becomes tradeable next year right? personally, I think you see what this team can manage this year without major trades (if you can get Cam Johnson without MPJ then sure but I think that's unlikely) then if Murray doesn't come back to some level of form look to trade him for a backup creator, or proper depth. When Jokic is on the floor the Nuggets have the best offence in the league so if they want an offensive solution the greatest impact is probably going to come from a 6-man, or high-quality bench centre not a starter.

[@RR-in7do]

I thought players that signed an extension could be traded on January 15. I could be wrong. Not that anyone would want Murray this season anyways

[@urmanascrewed]

What about just bringing in smaller contact role players?

[@onlyfacts3178]

MPJ is NUGGETS 2nd best player..so why trade him..FIRE the GM who made this mess by giving MURRAY and MPJ those huge contracts

[@joeknapp9162]

They should move Murray for Lavine and start Russ.

[@landonquinonez7996]

mpj, Zeke, FRP for Hunter and Bogdan. Who says no

[@vlada]

Old, injured & wants a big contract. Is that not enough red flags? As for LaVine, what does he do better & worse than MPJ? In Denver he won't be the Levine you know. He'll be 3rd option & sometimes 4th option when Gordon puts up 25pts. What other skills does he have when he's forgotten in offense? Mpj is very tall (at SF) and important rebounder which gives them a very big front line. Id much rather get Cam Johnson who can shoot the three really well and is good on defense (better than LaVine) and has experience being the 3rd-4th option

[@Frostie323]

trading MPJ for more shooting makes 0 sense. he's already a great shooter and a good rebounder. unless your getting a 2 way star he should stay. As a heat fan i would 100% trade MPJ for Butler.

[@JustNate365]

It’s more he’s consistently inconsistent.

[@Blazer96ify]

What about BI to Denver? If they could extend him ofc

[@johnburke7253]

......................................what no click bait trade rumours, that would be a refreshing.

[@dillonbecker1967]

There offense is only good when Jokic is on the floor. So they want offense so their offense doesn’t tank while Jokic is bench.

[@djokogatalo2074]

Would rather say the Nuggets need a bench, apart from Russ that bench is horrid. Harder defense as well.

[@Krazyabe]

Love Junior but he's not really a max contract guy to me. Especially under the new cba and the Nuggets really want rid of Zeke. Hope this goes through. Wouldn't mind Butler either, even if he is just a rental

[@tankwhite.7036]

Joker needs help with Murray, and Porter Jr lmao!
