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

    Jamal is a better shot creator and honestly it isn’t even close. Just look at their playoff numbers

    Literally no reason to replace him with a smaller guard more inefficient guard when you have Jokic’s playmaking

      You are pointing at numbers without applying context. Trae doesn’t have Jokic roller, and Murray isn’t a first option scorer. Every Hawks game defenses are focused on slowing down Trae. For the Nuggets its defending Jokic post ups and funneling the pass to the weakest shooter. Jamal isn’t getting the double teams or traps. By number Trae is super inefficient, but I guarantee Jokic would make anyone including Trae more effecient and productive.

        When has Trae shown that he can play off ball? Trae hasn’t shown the ability to sacrifice his usage even with a playmaker like Murray

        Even if he could transition off-ball, his height makes him not good for a spot up shooter role
