Everyone but Nikola Jokic is on the table from the Nuggets, so how do we feel about Jamal Murray?

Is he the perfect player? No, but in terms of realistic upgrades to our roster that we could get, to me he's one of the best available.

Still in his prime coming off his best season to date, his efficiency was down in the playoffs but he still regularly produces WAY better numbers than Ingram does or Quickley would have (let's be real), even in a bad post season run.

I think we if we swung a deal for him, it would be in hopes that he could have a similar home country bump to his play like RJ has had, and play even better than he does with the Nuggets.

Groundwork of a deal could be something like Murray + Johnson for Ingram + Quickley, with us throwing in a 1st or two (they'll be around the 20th range anyways). I put Cam in there so they can get off his contract, even if I don't love him myself. Plus whatever other minor moves this deal would need. Maybe they dont want Braun anymore for instance so they throw him in there.

I also want to get CMB into the starting lineup, so that would put us at Murray, Barrett, Barnes, CMB and Yak. My other goal would be to get a stretch 5 center, and that's where hopefully we could do something around Myles Turner. Though unfortunately we'd probably have to throw in a 1st to entice the Bucks to rake on Yaks contract.
