The season is over for the Denver Nuggets.
Even though they weren’t able to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals, they are still one of the most feared squads in the league.
But change might be on the horizon for the Nuggets, although no one is quite sure how that will look
Speaking with Jason Timpf, Colin Cowherd made a recommendation to the Nuggets: get rid of Jamal Murray.
“I think you do have to examine Jamal Murray. I just think in too many big games, he has injuries. I think it’s time to shuffle the deck. If it was me, I would keep [Aaron] Gordon, [Christian] Braun, [Nikola] Jokic, obviously. I’d move anything else,” Cowherd said, via The Volume.

Murray’s injuries have definitely been a problem for the superstar guard.
They have gotten in his way far more often, but he has still had many great games and is a vital part of the lineup.
Timpf pushed back on Cowherd’s idea, saying that Murray has great chemistry with big man Nikola Jokic.
No matter what choices the Nuggets make, they will be built around Jokic, so keeping Murray might be a smart idea.
And moving him could prove to be tricky because he is contracted with the Nuggets through the 2028-29 season.
Any team that takes him on will be carrying his heavy contract, which might make him a tough sell.
Nothing is confirmed, but it feels like the Nuggets will weigh their options and think about shaking things up this summer.
Will we see Murray in a Nuggets uniform next season, or has he played his last game in the Mile High State?
