- Hawks get MPJ
- Nuggets get Hunter and Bogi
- Fillers of some kind to make it work
Trae gets his great friend, extremely good shooter and improved defender who works best when someone is creating for him and Hawks have that with Trae/DJM.
Nuggets get Bogi to pair up with his countryman and add reliable punch of the bench. Hunter is defensive version of MPJ with less potential. Both would be part of their playoff rotation.
Would you do it or MPJ’s contact is not something you’d like/Bogi is too important? Hunter I’ve always felt was overrated and with great play of JJ is becoming obsolete.
Other than the bogi part I don’t see why you wouldn’t want MPJ. He gets 17 and 8 in his sleep in Denver not even being prioritized as a scorer. Playing with Trae he’d average 20 a game easy while giving us better rebounding, and more hustle as well
I love watching Denver so I can tell you right now MPJ is all star caliber
We just scored 300 points in back to back games but also gave up 302 points … offense is the LEAST of our problems… he’s a great offensive talent no doubt but we simply don’t need more offense …if it happened I wouldn’t hate it … just don’t think it moves needles like a elite defender would … mpj we’d be in the same bout
