After a great victory in the NBA Finals, this is the perfect opportunity to come back to certain rumors within a franchise, to reveal the options of the past by noting that we simply made the right choices. And with the Jamal Murray case, we can say that there is reason to speculate!
When the Game 5 buzzer sounded, a certain Serb thought only of going home, but another Canadian leader, overwhelmed by emotion, took full advantage of this moment of revenge on his career. It must be said that Jamal Murray has come a long way… From very far away. And this NBA title symbolizes all the recognition following which the point guard ran during his first years in the Big League. Because if Jamal is today on top of the world, it was not insane to doubt him a few years ago. Moreover, his name has always more or less circulated in trade rumors tells us Zach Lowe in a article pour ESPN :
“If they had considered [ les Nuggets, ndlr. ] to trade Murray – and they never really did – that would have been in 2017 or 2018. Malone recently said that Connelly [le précédent GM de la franchise, ndlr] had approached him at that time to indicate that they might possibly trade Murray for one or more renowned veterans. Among those players was Kyrie Irving, who requested a transfer to the Cavaliers in the summer of 2017, sources say.
The Nuggets adamantly opposed it. They never stopped believing that Murray might become a star, the ideal playmaker alongside Jokic. “We’ve been offered a lot of great players for our young talent,” Connelly told me in the fall of 2017. “There’s a fine line between overvaluing your own players and being overly aggressive chasing short-term results ”. “
Imagine if Denver had accepted this trade in 2017? Michael Porter Jr. would take himself for Kevin Durant, Michael Malone would have been fired following 6 months and Nikola Jokic would have become a platiste. Well ok, we abuse a little on the What if. In recent years NBA have considerably revolutionized poetry by teaching him that Kyrie Irving rhymes with nameless brothel. Denver is one of those franchises that has bet on their drafted players while building around behind, and it’s a safe bet that Kyrie might have put a considerable zucchick into that stability.
In any case, if Denver won its first NBA title this season, it is surely because they bet on the right foal during this summer of 2017. Like what, it pays to keep its young nuggets! A story that reminds us of the transfer rumors of Klay Thompson with Kevin Love in 2014. And with 4 titles in their pocket at Golden State, we can say that the Californians also played their game rather well!
What a great story for Blue Arrow, who takes his revenge on all those who doubted his ability to return to the top level following his knee injury. Real fire of Saint John on these Playoffs 2023, the Canadian leader has well deserved his ring while Kyrie Irving is doing… But what can he be doing right now?
