Jamal Murray does not play to the level of his peers.
November 18, 2024
This in lies the problem. Imagine how good the team would be if Jamal scored as consistently as Brunson or Mitchell.

Jamal’s turning into Melvin Gordon. Ask him and he’s the best player on the planet. All while not looking at his stats or in the mirror
Ouch. Making huge money and sucking it up without Jokic. Rough.
It’s no longer lights not bright enough, but lights never bright enough.
Am I forever grateful for him being a core piece to getting us a championship? Absofuckinglutely. But that doesn’t mean he should deserve the contract that he got based on his past play. He hasn’t been good for a while now (streaky at best) since the championship, and he’s clearly nowhere near the value of his contract.
I get why it had to be done because it’s not like we had many other options, but you do wish someone would hold him more accountable for the contract he got and his expected value of play.
I think Jamal has lost a huge step mentally and his game is toast until he recovers. Liability on the floor more than a plus.
Well duh, theres the reason he hasnt been an all-star.
I’d stop drinking for an entire year if it meant Jamal returned to form 😢
Jamal sucks
These players aren’t his peers.
Tracy mcgrady once scored 13 pts in 33 seconds. Let that sink in.
He needs a huge wake up call rather than getting his ego stroked by the FO and coaching staff. For his sake he needs to like go on Inside The NBA and get shamed by Shaq, Ernie & Chuck
In 19 seasons Shaq earned $292 million. In 8 seasons Jamal has earned $172 million. If the Nuggets resign him, he will have a larger career earning than shaq had. He is simply egregiously overpaid.
His peers are not multi time all stars, that’s the misconception. He is not an all star or all nba player
It’s just reality. Not even mad at him I just don’t think his body has the quickness anymore. He’s just not that guy.
But he can pull through in clutch moments and win games. He’s smart and crafty, but he is not elite like that. Sacrificed a lot for the championship run so I’ll never hate him for it
Thanks I’ll add it to his permanent file
Murray is the weakest #2 option among the legitimate title contenders in the league.
Derrick White averaging 19 points, 40.5% 3pt, 4.3 ast, 4.5 reb, +4.1 Bpm, plus defense.
D. White making 20 million this season with a 4/126 extention, that’s just over half what Jamal makes.
Having said that, Jamal only 9 games into the season. He needs to get right physically and mentally if possible.
Those players are not his peers
He also plays with Joker and isn’t asked nor does he need to do that much. Hard comparison
Im sure flying out to UFC in New York last night didn’t affect his performance at all
Defenses look like they collapse on Murray so much harder when Jok isn’t on the floor than when he is (which makes sense). I think if there was another reasonable threat out there besides Murray that it would let him bring out his game a little more. Right now he’s having to just ditch the ball so he doesn’t get doubled into a turn over nearly every play
wondering if having that baby got him twisted
His contract is going to be a terrible drag on the rest of Jokic’s prime. I don’t think Joker would want him traded though, way too loyal.
Sheesh…considering what he makes. This is a horrible investment by The Nuggets
The dude seems broken
If he was playing great defense, I could let go his inefficient play, but he isn’t. I guess the injuries finally caught up to him, it might be too late for him…
