I think Jason brings up very good points about Jamal, in very detailed fashion – especially his 1-on-1 offensive stats (scoring & passing).
The 25th highest salary for next year is $45M, Jamal will get $46M next year (so almost perfectly in range for a fair value contract).
While it’s perfectly fine to criticize Jamal’s slow starts to the season, and some unnecessary over-dribbling, etc… Anyone saying Jamal should be a $35-40M/Y player is laughable, EVERY team would jump on and trade for him.

Dude is 27 years old – averages 24/5/6 for his entire playoff career, already has 1 ring, and has never lost a round 1 series.
Jamal averaged 22ppg this years playoffs while playing the 2 toughest defensive opponents in the ENTIRE league (Clippers/Okc)

Outside of OKC’s starting 5 (their big 3 contracts kick in during the 26/27 season), I would rank our starting 5 salaries as the best value out of anyone’s starting 5 in the league by a good margin.

Jokic 55mil (Steal – worth 100+mil per year in production)
Jamal 46 mil (Failr value)
AG 22mil (Steal – worth 40mil)
Cam 21mil (Steal – worth 35+mil)
Braun 5mil (Well obvious steal for next seasons salary)

  2. This can’t be right. He’s literally untradable and on a bottom 5 contract in the league, I’ve been assured.

  4. I really like Jason, but I have a hard time taking his player rankings seriously after he recently claimed Kobe was the 3rd greatest player of all time.

  5. Jamal is top 5 of all time when he faces the Lakers.

    All jokes aside he has the potential to be an all star but noone was there to hold him accountable and being the favourite of coach Malone did not help.

  6. Jamal Murray should be higher.

    He is the best Canadian in the Leauge and we need to start acknowledging this fact.

    He will prove to the world we he is him.

  7. Jason’s moving to Denver and all of a sudden the Nuggets are starting to matter….

  8. Unashamed to say he is my favorite nugget ever. And given that my OG favorite Nugget was Ty Lawson, I clearly have impeccable taste and my players never do anything wrong

  9. i rather jamal not be an all star. jok deserves to be the goat. mal gonna have to take one for the team. gotta have the no all stars thing going
