Celtics propose trade for Jamal Murray to form new Big 3
Summary

The Boston Celtics are reportedly exploring a trade to acquire Denver Nuggets All-Star Jamal Murray, aiming to create a new Big 3 alongside Jayson Tatum and Paul George. This proposed deal would send Derrick White and Sam Hauser to the Nuggets without including draft picks. Murray's addition could provide the Celtics with elite shotmaking and playmaking, although they would need to address the defensive gap left by White. The trade, if executed, would solidify a competitive window for the Celtics through at least 2029, given Murray's contract status. The Nuggets would enhance their defense and floor spacing with White in their lineup, potentially improving their postseason performance.
