Oh yeah I’m sure any other team in the league would take him. Nice player on a super cheap contract. But I don’t think anyone is giving up significant value for him

They should trade him for Markkanen.
What kinda Bull fan talk is this breh?
Now Wendell for MPJ... Let's make it right
I would def take Craig on the Lakers.

A game like this when are bench was really bad and couldn’t boost the starters performance like the other games would of been a perfect time to give MPJ some burn.
That would be me (minus the ring talk) and he would be the best player on the floor.
Only a casual or someone with an agenda (most of the haters in this thread) would say Jerami Grant and Wil Barton are better than him. Mike Malone is a tread water coach for a reason.
Tread water coach? Mike Malone is an NBA coach and you're not for a reason.
I don't have much of an opinion on Mike Malone, but he was voted the best assistant coach in the NBA by his peers and Denver has improved every year under him, from 33-49 when he came to 54-28 last year. Where the fukk do you get that he's a "tread water coach"? He's been literally the exact opposite.
You were out there claiming that a rookie with injury issues who hadn't played a full game since high school ball during the Obama Administration was automatically better than Millsap, Murray, Jokic, etc. And we just don't know that. Only a casual would proclaim such certainty about shyt they know nothing about.
Luke Walton is an NBA coach. Fred Hoiberg was an NBA coach. Terry Porter was an NBA coach. So what?Tread water coach? Mike Malone is an NBA coach and you're not for a reason.

Y’all dudes love numbers and awards so much you even use them to qualify coaching ability
Mike Malone is about as run-of-the mill as it gets. Guess he didn’t need MPJ last night either
Congratulations, you just named three people who know far more about basketball than you do.
Not to mention they all got their jobs because they played pro ball. Malone got his job by rising up the coaching ranks for 20 years and being considered the best assistant coach in the NBA.
But sports might be the only profession where casuals who have never done a minute of work in the field in their entire lives literally think they can do the job better than the people at the absolute top of the profession.
He was voted by all the teams as the best assistant coach in the NBA. Why WOULDN'T you use that to qualify his coaching ability???Y’all dudes love numbers and awards so much you even use them to qualify coaching ability

You're damn right we use awards and numbers. It ain't the whole story but it's a component of the story, especially when one is forced to try to explain things to people who know virtually nothing about basketball.
You called him a tread-water coach even though the team has gone from 33 wins to 53 wins since he got there and has improved every year. Just admit that you don't even know what "tread water" means and move back to claiming that MPJ is already an MVP candidate the moment he steps on the floor.

you gotta earn minutes with such a deep roster
How do you expect him to earn minutes if he can't even see a single second of the floor
Wait for garbage time when a team is down 25?
Wait for an injury to happen?
No idea whats happening specifically here, but what happens in practice sometimes dictates real-game playing time.How do you expect him to earn minutes if he can't even see a single second of the floor

My man, playing in games is not the only way to earn minutes. Practice. Film study. Weight room. We ain’t even 5 games in and y’all going crazy. He’s going to get an opportunity. They picked him when they did because, unlike half the NBA, they believed in his potential. Denver’s got a talented and deep roster so I’m sure they’re also trying to figure out how and when to bring him in.How do you expect him to earn minutes if he can't even see a single second of the floor

I fukks with MPJ, but you're a cotdamn fool (which we already knew) if you think he's better than Jokic right now. This constant need to marginalize one of the most unique bigs to ever play the game is bizarre, but not surprising, considering you look at the game through a distorted [box score] lens.That would be me (minus the ring talk) and he would be the best player on the floor.

You clearly have never played organized basketball on any level beyond pee-wee
