Maybe bc we have cap space. I wouldnt have minded if it was for the sake of cutting Phoenix's payroll and us waiving CP3. But the Suns have like no other assets to offer. We also gonna need the money for when this past year's picks reach extension time.

Indeed he did. Murray is a star. But even with those outrageous splits, Jokic was responsible for about 10 ppints more per game. Not to mention his rebounds. These types of players have normalized greatness to the point that we dont even bat an eye when we witness it.

Indeed. Iggy has to play well that series for them to win. But if Curry wasnt there, the Cavs leave that series with a sweep. Curry's impact also goes beyond the stat sheet. Sometimes the emergence of a role player is valued more than the play of a superstar who only maintains their level of play in the finals without elevating it. Murray is not a role player, but there were people serious about him taking WCF mvp over Jokic.

He's not even that bad there. He's certainly improved but Ive watch him hedge well on screens against guards like Ja preventing the drive. Despite his physical limitations, he knows how to position himself.

No. But Kawhi has also done it longer than Walton. I think the gap between Dame and Walton is smaller than Kawhi to Walton.

Nope. He's supposed to be able to beat the champions and win the championship on his own if he wants to be considered an all-star level player. /s

Zach. He's the oldest out of the bunch and Sochan has too much potential not to be out there.

While it's hot, what was the Denver's main strength in the series against the Lakers? by contantofaz in nba

The 2-man game with Jokic and Murray. Not sure if theres a better one that exists in the league. Also, they have some of the best role players. They compete defensively, fight for loose balls, slash, and shoot. Such great pieces to have around Jokic.
