#Nuggets fans, would you do this deal? For basketball reasons, not for feels.

What do the Nuggets look like with the 2 man game and a scorer like J. Clarkson off the bench and the rest just being dog defenders?

I love my #Nuggets Podcasters, but the negative bias surrounding Jamal has gotten a bit ridiculous. He's a dick and should treat media better, but he's playing pretty well despite seeing double teams much of last night and in the 2nd half against Boston.

#Nuggets fans. Which starting lineup is better:
Current
Jamal
Braun
MPJ
AG
Jok

Or potentially
Jamal
Zach Lavine
Pwat
AG
Jok

?

The coverage around how MPJ plays better without Jamal reeks of laziness. He's supposed to play better.

In football, 30% or more of the roster turns over every year, and no one really cares they just figure that's how it is. In basketball fans, bemoan even the mention of a guy they like; please god no not the guy that's been in trade rumors for 3 years. #Nuggets

Zeke Nnaji shot 40%+ from 3 his first 2 seasons. Malone's staff decided to tweak his shot going into 22-23. Now he's shooting 0% this season. #Nuggets

The Nuggets don't need to find a Jokic analog at back up center they need to find an Aaron Gordon analog. That should be easier.

Is Sean Payton sundowning?

The Nuggets can't trade AG or Murray this year. A small change isn't going to improve the team enough. They have one lever and only one to pull.

Is it too much to ask for the Nuggets to stop going out every time they're in LA?

I'm fine with what Jamal said. He's an imperfect messenger, but if guys are staying in LA to party and show up with 6 points and no boards, maybe they deserve some shame.

The Nuggets simply don't have enough guys. Their 2nd and 3rd highest paid players aren't allstar caliber players. Their 5th highest paid guy plays the 3rd string. All these young guys may be good one day, but Jokic doesn't have time for one day. The roster is just too flawed.

Gotta be honest I have mixed feelings about Malone breaking Moe's record. Those Moe/English teams were very entertaining, as were the Mutombo/Rauf teams. Many remember and are fans because of the Karl/Carmelo teams. I often wonder what will happen to this fandom after Malone and Jokic, especially

Bluesky killing it in 1987.

Kinda feel bad for him.

MPJ had that little flurry, but bottom line, they don't get enough from their 2nd and 3rd highest paid players. #Nuggets

I'm hoping for some good Nuggets chatter over here tonight.
