The season for the defending champion Nuggets is over, and the focus of the offseason is on contract extensions. According to the latest report from NBA salary expert Bobby, the Nuggets' job this summer is to talk to Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon about contract extensions, the former expiring in the summer of 2025 and the latter in the summer of 26, but both can achieve early contract extensions.

Currently, Jamal Murray's current contract is $170 million for five years, $33.83 million this year, and $36.01 million next year. There are now two paths in front of Murray: the first is to renew his contract early this summer, and he can sign up to a four-year, $208.5 million contract with the Nuggets, with an average price of $50 million. Second, if the contract is renewed next summer, Murray can theoretically sign a five-year, $318 million first-time salary contract with the Nuggets, and even the three-time MVP winner Jokic has not received such a big contract.

Of course, there are certain conditions for triggering this super cap salary. Under the terms of the designated veteran, Murray needs to be named to the All-Star team next season. But Murray's best individual performance since he entered the league in 2016 was the MVP of the rookie game, and he has never been selected to the All-NBA team. If you want to be selected next season, it doesn't feel like a big chance.

It is worth mentioning that after the end of the tiebreaker, Edwards, the core guard of the Timberwolves, publicly said: "I handcuffed Murray. It is equivalent to satirizing his incompetent performance, in the entire series, Murray's performance is not too good, and there are 2 super ghost performances, if it weren't for the 2 lore Lakers to cover up his crotch pull, Murray is not even as good as Russell.

Murray and Edwards' Liang Zi have to go back to last year's playoffs. At that time, the Timberwolves lost 1-4 to the Nuggets in the first round, and after the game, Huazi and Conley borrowed alcohol to kill their worries in the bar and ran into Murray. The two sides immediately engaged in trash talk, and Murray bluntly said: "You can't stop me at all." Huazi responded, "We'll be back." Now after seven games, the winner who has the last laugh is the Timberwolves, and Huazi, as the winning party, should be ridiculed.

As a stats comparison, the seven-game series went down. Murray averaged 37.6 minutes per game, averaging 18.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.3 steals, shooting 40.3% from the field, 33.3% from three-point range and 100% from the free throw line.

Edwards, on the other hand, averaged 40.5 minutes per game, contributing 27.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.7 assists and 1.6 steals, including 49.8% shooting, 37.3% three-pointers, and 84.6% free throws.

All-round crushing, offensive efficiency is higher, scoring ability is more prominent, and defense is stronger. Huazi has the momentum to develop in the direction of supergiants, and Murray seems to be a little iron-headed.

Much of the Nuggets' decline this season has been due to the departure of jack-of-all-trades players like Bruce Brown. Secondly, Porter Jr.'s outstanding performance in the first round cannot be replicated by the Timberwolves. Playing the Timberwolves is completely different from playing the Lakers. First of all, in terms of performance, the Timberwolves are taller, and Porter Jr. can't ignore his height to shoot the basketball. Second, the Timberwolves are younger and more impactful than the Lakers. Playing four quarters with the Nuggets, in terms of physical strength, the Timberwolves are more dominant.

The Nuggets also have to wonder if Murray will be a perfect match for Mr. Yo. If a big contract is forcibly given, the reinforcements in the next few years will be locked up, and it depends on whether Murray can explode?
