Team Payroll / Acquiring an Allstar
I’m not an expert on team construction, but some of these contracts just don’t make sense to me.
- I don’t understand the Dario acquisition. He and Zeke Nnaji are the 5th and 6th highest-paid players on the team, yet their impact has been minimal. That said, I’ll give Zeke credit—he played well against OKC on Monday alongside Pickett and PWat.
- Jamal Murray and MPJ are on massive contracts, but both have been inconsistent. This might be controversial, but is it time to consider moving on? Our loyalty to them seems to be preventing us from finding a better co-star for Jokic.
What should be done to fix this roster? Running it back next year feels like a step in the wrong direction. With the money tied up in MPJ and Murray, wouldn’t it make more sense to trade for an All-Star who can truly be Jokic’s Robin?
