The NBA off season continues to be crazy even in the dog days of August as Kyrie Irving has been traded to the Celtics for Isiah Thomas leaving Jamal Murray and Gary Harris safe on the Nuggets for now.
In my opinion, this is great for Denver because both players possess a tremendous amount of potential and getting rid of either one of them could have spelled disaster for the Nuggets long term.
While having a star like Kyrie Irving would have been nice, it would have only assisted the franchise’s short term goals and left them in a confusing situation if he left when his contract was up which would have Millsap’s last year of his contract as well.
