Should the Nuggets have traded Jamal Murray for Jaylen Brown?
Stokley and Evans dive into the alleged trade talks between the Nuggets and Celtics — and the tension is real. Boston reportedly wanted Jamal Murray for Jaylen Brown, but Denver refused, offering Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson instead. The guys debate the rhetoric around Brown and whether the Nuggets made the right call.
Stokley says Murray is “far more important to us right now than Jaylen Brown would be,” but Evans isn’t sure Denver made the right decision. Did the Nuggets protect the right player? Did they miss out on a superstar wing? And what does this say about Denver’s long‑term plan?
This is one of the biggest “what if” moments of the offseason — and the guys aren’t convinced either way.
