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

          Not at all true. But I don’t expect a 76ers fan to actually be able to identify real defense.

          It’s still better than Trae. There are a lot of really bad defenders who are still better than Trae.

          he did a job at points during the playoffs, and it was largely thanks to his matchip comparative size/physicality. there are levels to bad defense, and jamal murray vs trae young is probably the perfect example of that

            He’s not a shutdown defender, but he’s long and strong as hell. He may not be locking up, but you aren’t getting easy buckets on his head.

      What makes you think Trae could be “conditioned to play” like Murray?

      Not nearly as good at diving to the basket, and Jokic finding cutters is a big part of Denver’s gameplan
