Basically the title. Replace Murray with Trae. Contracts stay the same. Are the Nuggets better or worse now? I’m talking about Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks by the way
Worse. Much much worse.
They’re better with Murray no matter how much Reddit hates it
Worse.
Way worse
DEN wouldn’t do it, because Trae doesn’t fit their profile. #1 is size at the position.
Specifically in that system, Trae would be worse simply because he hasn’t shown the ability to move without the ball.
Maybe with Jokic that would change but we haven’t seen him do it, and can only speculate.
But if i’m picking one player to start a franchise, it’s Trae no question for me.
This question makes me mad at how stupid it is
They get better, imagine Trae Young not having to worry about facilitating the offense and instead focusing almost solely on scoring. That pick and roll would be deadly as well lol
So long as Trae can accept the secondary role, Trae
Extending this question to a straight-up Trae for Jamal trade: both teams are worse. Murray is probably not as good a first option for a team like the Hawks and Trae is not as good a second option for a team that already has Jokic.
Murray is probably not as good a first option for a team like the Hawks
The Hawks maybe win 30 games with Murray as the number one option.
People who’ve said they don’t want the ball out of Joker’s hands as if Trae isn’t himself statistically one of the best PnR players…that doesn’t really make sense but I do agree that the Nuggets would be worse in large part because Trae is way more exploitable defensively. Offensively, the fit would work theoretically.
Joker would probably initiate a little less with Trae but his touches overall wouldn’t go down appreciably.
Wtf kind of question is this? Have you not watched any nuggets playoff games?
So much worze
They get better. Be fr now comment section, jeez louise
Easily worse. Trae Young provides 0 defense
