People don't just join lebron james and play better, much the opposite in some cases. So that's a weird comparison
Go Rockets!
If there was a good package out there for MPJ, his value has never been higher. He played 81 games last season which is been his biggest problem obviously with his back issues. I think in theory he should stagger really well with Westbrook this season if Malone finally learns how to stagger and make a competent bench work
Westbrook is also an excellent cutter to the rim and combined with Jokic the best passer in the league will be a formidable duo. Jokic will read and anticipate those cuts unlike anyone Westbrook has ever played with before in his career. Jokic+Murray will always be the backbone of the Nuggets offense where Jamal is the primary perimeter and pull-up shooter. Jokic+Westbrook adds a different dimension to the pick n roll where Westbrook will cut and drive to the rim more. Lets also not forget Nuggets have added Dario Saric as a backup 5 who is a high IQ baller and great passer like Jokic, so that pick n roll duo can continue with the bench unit in variations of Saric+Westbrook or Saric+Murray in the non-Jokic minutes. Saric is so versatile he can also play as PF alongside AG and Jokic and is a great perimeter shooter too. I think the Nuggets have improved with these roster changes and who knows maybe Westbrook can redeem himself and prove all the naysayers wrong playing in Denver, just like Kyrie did in Dallas. I look forward to the season ahead….
Unless your trading MPJ or Jamal Murray for a better player then your making the Nuggets far worse🙄
