As the Nuggets look at ways to clear up cap space, we explore a three-team trade involving Jamal Murray, the Magic, and the Lakers that could help them do so.

Star. Jamal Murray was brilliant in the regular season and, at long last, we witnessed the first Jokić teammate to be named to either All-Star, All-NBA or All-Defense in the Serbian’s 11-year career.

The Toronto Raptors likely do not have enough to offer the Denver Nuggets for Jamal Murray.

The Denver Nuggets bowed out of their first-round series against the injury-riddled Minnesota Timberwolves and are "far away" from title contention, according to perennial MVP candidate Nikola Jokić.

They both make sense as win-now pieces for teams looking to take an immediate next step toward contention. They probably don’t make sense for most teams residing at the bottom of the league.
