If I’m running the Nuggets, I would start restructuring the roster by shipping Jamal Murray to the Boston Celtics for Jaylen Brown.

– Eric, Charleston, S.C.

Kiz: Please allow me to be the voice of reason by shouting: Don’t trade Murray! What should the Nuggets do instead? Recognize that Murray isn’t a true point guard. Bump Christian Braun from the starting lineup (or ship C.B. out of town). Then add a veteran role player at point guard with the handle and size to bring the ball up the court and play solid defense.

I would fire Nuggets coach David Adelman, because anybody can take a Jokic-led team to 50-plus wins in the regular season.

– T-man, onward and upward

Kiz: As the knuckleheads here at Kickin’ It Headquarters warned y’all a week ago, Adelman was destined to return as coach, because the Kroenke family doesn’t like paying coaches not to work. Going forward, here’s one thing Adelman needs to work on: Stick a sock in those rabbit ears and stop being so obsessed with the negative “narrative” about the team after a loss. That wasted energy would be better spent on sending a message to refs about how Jokic gets mauled in the post. But what do I know? I’ve only been chronicling the moves of the most successful NBA coaches since Adelman was a ball boy for his dad in Portland.

If I was general manager of the Nuggets, I’d tell ownership to give a bleep.

– Adrian, Denver

Kiz: How ‘bout we start here? If the Nuggets want to keep Aaron Gordon, they need a major shake-up in the approach/personnel of the training staff to deal with his chronic soft-tissue issues. One of the best moves the Broncos have made since coach Sean Payton’s arrival has been a renewed focus on player health. 

Hey Kiz! Your column on the halo effect of Jokic did not mention Michael Porter Jr., who went the paid-and-trade route out of Denver to Brooklyn.

– Roy from Fort Fun

Kiz: MPJ found happiness in the perfect role for him, as the leading scorer on one of the league’s worst teams. The Nuggets, however, did force Porter to stand around and watch while the team ran that two-man game of Jokic and Murray into the ground. At its best, the Jokic-Murray combo is a thing of beauty. But Denver has loved the strategy to death, to the detriment of other offensive options when foes heighten their focus on Joker and Mal in the playoffs. I want Peyton Watson back on the team, but there’s no reason to spend the money to retain him as a free agent if Adelman can’t find ways to consistently put the ball in his hands.

And today’s parting shot takes umbrage with my opinion that Avs star Nathan MacKinnon was lucky to get away without punishment for slamming Matt Boldy into the boards in Game 2 of this playoff series between Colorado and Minnesota.

Boldy was skating parallel to the boards with possession of the puck. It was a shoulder-to-shoulder hit. Not a penalty. You’re a superficial football reporter who has covered the Avalanche for 30 years. Stick to not talking about hockey 350 days a year, Kiz.
