The Perfect Trade for Denver Nuggets to stay contenders | Pickaxe and Roll

No viable trades are out there!

Denver doesn't need a trade as long as Murray understands he's no longer the second option.

If MPJ averages 20-25 points per game, we're good.

Salute Ryan u are the best covering the team. Appreciate the work buddy!

Denver fans so overrate MPJ and Murray's value. Love those Atlanta trades! Also, can Calvin Booth stop giving backup big-man scrubs (like he was) huge contracts!

Levine aint it, why trade for another injury prone player. We already have Jamal for that role.

To trade MPJ it's insane since this year he is after Nikola's most consistent player.....MPJ is good for Nuggets he is not a problem.....

Trading MPJ makes no sense. He's our only 3-point shooter. We're a terrible 3-point shooting team. We need more shooting, not replacing a shooter for another shooter.

People saying that we can't trade mpj are insane. We have no depth. We only have 7 rotational guys in the playoffs since julian can't guard his shadow. If we dont make a trade we have wasted another prime joker year.

For the love of god, go get bogi, hunter, and larry nance. We need depth. Pls

Trading for butler would be a mistake especially if you give mpj up for it

Regarding the first mailbag with Jamal's minutes: I don't know if Malone is flexible enough in his thinking to switch things up. Because every time Jamal's back, he seems to be going to the same rotations. I mean, if you realize that it's not working and Jamal's not playing well, you gotta change something up, but he keeps trying to force it, hoping that if jamal is there 40 minutes maybe he'll start playing well...

Buy high sell low? That's what everyone is trying to do with Jamal right now. Even if we could trade him, now would be the worst time.

MPJ ls stats across the board are better than Markkanens. MPJ is trending up and Markkanen is trending down. I personally would rather have MPJ.

I don't think Ryan has ever really watched Zach except for a couple times. As a lifelong bulls fan who has watched him play for years I think your drunk or just hungry for some media content. The guy has never had one good playoff game ever. He is horrible at crunch time. His handles are awful. He is bad defensively. I would be thrilled as a bulls fan to move off zachs contract. Nobody is trading for him that has actually paided close attention to his career.

Murray can't be traded til next season per his contract restrictions. As Ryan said if jamal doesn't get better moj will be the sacrificial lamb.

We gotta ditch Jamal Murray, no matter what. MPJ's a solid fit.

Murray not going any where. You are right. Need to learn to use him better. Time that Malone steps up and earns that title has a great coach I think. Need more 2 year contracts instead of 4 years. GM's in the NBA need to pump the brakes all ready. Owners need to take the league back. Fire Booth. He is not qualified for the Job. Why a rookie GM for Jokic. Thinking Kroenke does not care that much about winning with the moves he is letting happen. It always starers at the top. Always.

There is nothing wrong with the core four. It is 5-10 where it appears to fall short. Having said all of this the money owed to two, three, and four; coupled with poor contracts Nnaji and Murray now, constrains the Nuggets ability to upgrade our talent. Trading MJ hurts the starters, but has some potential to make the overall roster more better.

Shot out Ryan, I love ur content! I appreciate all of ur knowledge about the league and love for the Nuggets! 🧡💙

What about Robert Covington? He is an FA

Thank you we need Zach guaranteed 22-23 a night. Damn I want to keep MPJ but Zack is a beast.

Please make a trade nuggets

I hope your wrong nuggets championship 2025🏆

Coach need to go get Dwight Howard and bring him off the bench so we can at least keep a lead while the starters are out. We need pressure. Shit go get Zion!

Are problem is Jamal I hope we don't get rid of MPJ .

The center problem will not be fixed until Daron Holmes is ready to go next year. Hopefully he is. That was always the plan.🤞

MPJ has been great but he might have to be the sacrificial lamb. I like how he phrased it that Michael Porter may have to pay for Jamal Murray's sins. Jamal is definitely the one I put all the blame on, from a player standpoint. I also think Calvin Boothe has ruined this team. I hope they don't extend his smug ass after running a potential dynasty Denver team into the ground. I am finally sick of this🤬

Booth offered too much to MPJ and Murray. Now the Nuggets have checkmated themselves. If they had both voluntarily taken less money like Brunson, the Nuggets could have built a super team. Heck, even Jokic could have left a little on the table.

Why not Timelord? Zeke, Saric and a 2nd for Timelord
