Denver Nuggets and an inevitable risk with Jamal Murray

A supernatural talent that fails to meet the expected continuity, even in his best moments. That's Jamal Murray, a star without the recognition he deserves as an All-Star, a man marked by the inexorable downward trend of a Denver Nuggets project with serious difficulties in maintaining its elite status. His renewal has sparked some controversy.

Four years of contract worth 208 million dollars. That's what Denver Nuggets has granted to a key player in the championship ring conquest two years ago, but who has not fully emerged as a reliable star throughout a season. The departure of key elements from that title, such as KCP or Bruce Brown, has greatly lowered the Nuggets' performance last year, with Jamal Murray failing to reverse that trend. His poor performance in the Olympic event did not prevent them from betting on him, as an attempt to silence dissenting voices from the coaching staff regarding the thrift-oriented philosophy of the management.

Adding to the fact that he is a player prone to physical problems, this bet becomes even riskier. Many interpret this contract as a leap forward, a way to reward a key player for services rendered, and an implicit acknowledgment that letting him go would have sent a message of total surrender to Jokic and Malone. Despite Jamal Murray staying on, the hopes of Denver Nuggets for the upcoming season are not too promising.
