Nuggets could examine Jamal Murray trade scenarios
The dramatic nature of the Nuggetsโ fall, coupled with the reality that every team in the league would line up for the chance to trade for (or sign) Jokiฤ, means the entire league will be watching to see if he signs the extension. If he does, itโs only natural to wonder whether the Nuggets might have some internal discussion about the second-highest-paid player on the roster: Jamal Murray. In contrast to Gordon, whose health struggles might make possible suitors wary if he were made available, the 29-year-old Murray is coming off the best regular season of his career.
He is handsomely paid โ three years and a combined $161 million left on his deal โ and there is always robust market for elite scorers and playmakers. The danger is breaking up the Jokiฤ-Murray two-man game that is widely considered the best in all the NBA.
