Furthermore, the Pelicans insisted that any potential deal for Davis had to include Nuggets rising star Jamal Murray. That was a non-starter for the Nuggets, who a month ago finished their most successful season in a decade.

When Jamal Murray is asked about playing the two-man game with Nikola Jokic, he replies, “The best part is we don’t really don’t know what is going to happen.” “And the beauty of that,” Paul Millsap adds, “is if we don’t know, then [the defense] can’t possibly know.”
THE DENVER NUGGETS understand they are a work in progress with miles to go defensively, yet a future cemented on a foundation of Jokic and Murray has the league buzzing. Is it too premature to anoint their pick-and-roll prowess on par with that of Stockton and Malone or Nash and Stoudemire? “I won’t say it’s too soon at all,” Scottie Pippen says. “The game is played in a bigger space now. Back in the ’80s and ’90s, everything was played inside the 3-point line. These days, it’s played outside the 3-point line, and Jokic and Murray are maximizing that. “Jokic is a hybrid center, a guard-center. I haven’t seen big guys bring the ball up floor like that. I haven’t seen big guys come off the pick-and-roll and shoot a 3. I haven’t seen big guys find the open player like he does. He’s special, something new to our game.”
