So trade Mitch who has a good contract(15 mill) and actually protects the rim for a washed backup center who cant stop a nose bleed and makes 22 mill next season?

Thats crazy for a 1st 2nd rd exit...... lol

They can grab a backup center for way less imo. 

They could just move Grimes or a pick for one if needed ..

Robinson is a difference maker for them(when healthy)

 

 

 

These guys are pretty similar in terms of the numbers and the fact that Robinson isn't playing anymore this season and has missed large chunks of time has to make them nervous. 

If we traded for him, his health would make me nervous.  His end of the season totals in games played the last 4 years:

31 games

72 games

59 games

21 games

Average:  less than 46 games played per season

Guess how Nuggets won it all last year. They're defense at 1, 3 and 5 is probably the worst in the league, at 4 is limited and at 2 is good

They won because they have one of the three best basketball players currently on the planet and a guy who plays like prime Steph Curry in the playoffs.

That is their starting point, which is not bad!

It's a good starting point but one guy can't win it alone. We have so many samples from the past

Gordon and KCP was top notch last year and Jokic is a good overall defender. Bruce Brown was massive for Denver off the bench and you see Denver is hurting for it 

Denver is not hurting lol. Joker is just pacing himself and they're still going to be top 2 seeds in the west

But their 5 can do it ALL on offense... lol

He can, same as Embiid but we all know Embiid. I just replied to post regarding importance of defense. If anybody's watching Denver games they know that Murray and MPJ are the worst defenders in the league. Jokic is ok but not good

Nawl,  Denver won it by ramming it down their opponents throat.   While everybody was trying to attack them with three point shots, they were hitting shots.   Every shot.   Low post.   Midrange. Three point.  They made it their business to score over smaller teams.  They are small ball killers.   They are the anti-modern NBA and will push the thought of the modern NBA right out of the league.
