Pelicans move off of their injured players and are ready to stop waiting around and punting seasons away. They get 4 win now, playoff tested players and a very valuable 2031 first round lottery pick since Denver will be a bottom feeder when Jokic leaves. They also get off CJs terrible contract that nobody wants. Stop looking at Herb jones like he’s Michael Jordan. He will never even sniff an all star conversation and at this point is an injured Walmart Trey Murphy.

Denver acquires a starting caliber point guard in Murray. While getting the 3 and D guy their team is desperately missing. They get a scrappy bench player in Alvarado and take the risk on CJ.
