    Nurk avg'd 3.2 without knowing the offense fully and only playing 29 mpg. Once Nurk gets more acclimated to the offense and starts averaging 33+ mins....

    Gross! What a steal for CHI if they do that. Harris is prob the most underrated guard in the league.

    Thanks for the feedback. I've never been a Blake Griffin fan, so that's not very encouraging!

    I actually thought he was an extremely good passer and an adequate defender when I saw him play with Portland. Didn't really see either of those things in Denver, for whatever reason.

    Nurk is great offensively, Jokic is phenomenal offensively.

    Nurk is great defensively, Jokic is phenomenally Bad defensively.

    I think Murray is the better prospect of the two in Denver. Harris is gonna get paid next summer too.

    Neither Harris or Murray are going anywhere.

    Depending on who you ask, those players were off-limits in the trade that would have brought Kevin Love to Denver. They're certainly not giving either of them up for Wade.

    I specifically was referring to "this summer" and ignoring the draft. I guess we could factor in Trey Lyles, Tyler Lydon, and Monte Morris too.

    Why the hell would they do that? Trade Gary Harris for someone who is worse than him, for what?

    Yeah, which is being addressed by him losing weight and working on the imbalances in his legs.

    Losing Gallo and getting Millsap is a downgrade offensively. And you can't ignore facts such as Wilson Chandler being unable to repeat his career year last year, as well as teams adjusting to Jokic with scouting.

    They won't repeat the pace they were on to end the year.

    At the same time, you're ignoring the fact that Harris has settled in as one of the best shooting guards in the league, and Murray will no longer be a rookie (and could be special).

    Gallinari isn't gone yet. Millsap might have a career year, with Jokic feeding him.

    We'll see............

    I'm not feeling too bad for Denver though. Jokic and Milsap could be a tough combination to defend.

    What I find funny is if any one of us go to the Denver nuggets forum and start talking like this Denver Nuggets fan has. We'd get ip-banned within an hour.
    Yet because the mods on s2 aren't nazi's @Socnorb11 is allowed to keep posting here.

    I'm not here to cause trouble........ just talk basketball.

    I think you'd be more than welcome at Denver Stiffs, as long as you keep it civil

    I sure hope that shows to be the answer. Can't say it's always that simple though.

    Millsap is declining, and most of Jokics passes go to cutters, which Millsap doesn't really do.

    Harris is one of the best SGs in the league?! Lol. He's not Top 9
    Harden
    Thompson
    Derozen
    Butler
    McCollum
    Beal
    Middleton
    Bradley
    Booker

    Are all better.

    Your young talent will improve but you so have no starting level PG, and guys like Chandler will regress to the mean.

    Supposedly he's making a decision tonight. Probably going to Miami--allegedly that's where his wife wants to go.
