The Nuggets’ Future Now Depends On Jamal Murray
Murray is one of the NBA’s all-time playoff performers, serves as the perfect Robin to Nikola Jokic’s Batman…or Joker, and is arguably the Association’s greatest non-All-Star. But his max extension brings plenty of questions in Denver, where Murray’s performance over the next half-decade will make or break what’s left of The Jokic Era.

Hi!
Jamal Murray is so WAY OVERRATED that is nauseating.
Next to Jokic, even a used, wet towel looks like a player. Jamal was schlepping/free-loading on that FOREVER.
No. He's NOT worth the max.
Who Jamal Murray is REALLY -we saw in Paris, and before – in EVERY game w/o Jokic… In those games and minutes – Jamal shows who and what HE REALLY IS – a low-mid PG in NBA, probably not a starter in most NBA teams.
Murray would be Harley Quinn xD
Taylor David Thomas Ruth Hall Donald
Laker killer 😢
Short Answer: Yes he is, most players in the post 2nd apron era are worth their money, especially if they are homegrown, you couldn't get an adequate replacement for him that wouldn't cost you a similar amount compared to his playoff production.
They are a 6th seed or lower without Jamal, gotta pay him 🤷🏾♂️
Not much choice and he's definitely a tradeable asset.
Murray is a bum. He basically ruined Jokic's career.
Murray will be good until his early 30s, I think. He might still have a career year and make an All-Star team. Denver letting KCP walk was a major loss though.
MPJ is way more overrated. rid off MPJ and they will have flexibility of having 3 depth players to compliment this team.
The problem with his stats is that he'll go 12-14 when the nuggets are getting blown out and then 2-16 in an overtime loss. The averages look great but he's so inconsintant and unreliable. With that being said, if Bubble Murray is still in there somewhere… I can't wait to see it again.
Nuggets have no choice but will be interesting to see how this ages 😂
Worth is relative to the market itself and the Nuggets didn't really have much of a choice. Some other team would have paid him if the Nuggets decided to let him walk. Every NBA team will go through this reality eventually.
Honestly? They didn't have any choice. There's no other players with the same skill set that's available to be picked up.
Right now all the Nuggets hope Jamal will perform better in the playoffs.
We see Jokic is still Jokic and can single handily carry a terrible shooting team in multiple games. But it's not enough.
Still got ptsd with the missed open 3s in that playoffs.
His performance in the Olympics was terrible. So Jamal better prove himself. Otherwise he'll be lumped with the likes of Beal that basically finessed a franchise.
i think it is going to age like milk
the last collective agreement. yes. the current one. no
With his current play, it doesn't seem so. But he is an integral part of that team and it's best to believe he'll play better in the future.
Nope, he is not. Nuggets are done.
Is he more than Tray Young? Idk.
They paying him for the playoff performance, he can just basically float through the regular season if it means he’ll be healthy for the postseason. In the playoffs though, healthy Murray and Jokic will beat anyone, totally worth it
What a dumb take. Ofcourse they will give him max. He gave them championship. Lol
What are people talking about. Yes they owe Jamal a ring. It's just fair to give him a max just for this time as a gratitude.
I think Murray just needs to get healthy, he’s still in his 20s and in the prime of his career
How many points did he score in the Game 7 against Minn?
He led the team with 35.
And he will be with his team for a few more titles.
Jamal Injurray – Inconsistent, injury prone. Overrated, overpaid.
They had to pay him i wonder who will take on his contract?
Murray is awesome but in no way is he a Superstar. Even mediocre players get Max Contracts today. I don't understand it anymore so I stopped watching it.
HELL NO
Jamal Murray need stay healthy next season 💪🔥💪
Rise or another fall for Charlotte Hornets new ERA & new owners you're next video theScore 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Im a fan but after his playoffs and his abysmal Olympic form definitely not. If he can find his form from their championship run then sure. Rooting for him but it appears his body can't handle the rigours/ demands of the NBA
Nuggets have to pay Murray, cuz Jokic said so
Skap Attack says he's a bum
He is just a little above average. Barely ever step out to take over the game from any coplayers
