Although the overall state of the Nuggets was very sluggish some time ago, their state has improved significantly in recent times, and their current record has come to fourth in the West, and they have also won three consecutive victories, why has the overall performance of the Nuggets reversed significantly in recent times? In the final analysis, it is because the Nuggets adjusted their starting lineup, and the Nuggets' winning rate is very high after Wei Shao enters the starting lineup.

After scoring 25 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in the last game, Wei Shao scored 21 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 blocks again in the game against the Mavericks today to help the team win. He shot 17 shots in both games, shooting more than 50 percent from the field. At present, Wei Shao is already an important scorer in the starting lineup of the Nuggets, and even his influence in the team has surpassed that of Jamal Murray.

Willis signed a two-year contract with the Nuggets last offseason, and his annual salary this season is only $3.3 million, while Jamal Murray signed a super-cap contract with the Nuggets in the offseason, with an annual salary of more than $50 million. Murray's overall performance this season has been unsatisfactory. At this stage, he is averaging only 19 points per game and shooting 43% from the field. He obviously doesn't deserve this super cap contract, and maybe the management has hinted at regretting it. Because now the overall performance of Wei Shao is significantly stronger than Jamal Murray. There is no need for them to sign such a large contract extension with Murray, and now Willow plays a role with the Nuggets no less than Murray, or even surpasses Murray.

It can be said that the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and Wei Shao was once elected the regular season MVP in his career, which may be an honor that is difficult for Murray to achieve in his career, and even Murray has not even been selected as an All-Star in his career. And Murray's form has also declined at his current age, and he has also suffered major injuries in his career, so the Nuggets offer Murray such a big contract, which obviously buries hidden dangers for the future. They could have offered Wei Shao a longer contract, and maybe they didn't expect Wei Shao to perform so well this season.
